I agree that we need some height and attitude in the paint. After watching that roundhouse put back dunk from Taj Gibson, I could only think of Jeffries pump faking in the post, trying to decide if he should try and put the ball in the hoop

Most of us knew that we were giving up a lot to get Melo, fortunately Donnie is still here to finish the job.

BRIGGS what do think of KMART as our center?

Im scared dalenbert would be a bust once he gets here might be afraid of the pressure

KMART is 6'8'' at most you don't want to go that route.

I am not sure how to answer this. KMart plays big and can play great with Amare. KMart would be a good add coming off the bench. He can backup both C anf PF spots.

As i said in previous posts. Id rather have KMART who plays with heart and plays Defense rather than having someone who is big yet soft.

So VMart who would you rather have Channing frye who is 6'11 or Ben Wallace who is around 6'8 to patrol your defense?

You have to remember this isn't the KMART you grew up with in NJ. He is a shell of himself. With that said he is no Ben Wallace at this juncture in his career. He is injury prone and can and has missed critical games for the nuggets. I would have to say Frye is the better option at this time.

I would have to agree that Frye would be a better choice today. If we go on the Hot Tub Timemachine then KMart.

gimme chris singleton. can play either forward spot but will bring defensive toughness and tenacity, plus he's a hell of an athlete. can guard 2/3/4

draft sg or pg BPA, I am not going to draft a Center or PF if the talent is way greater in the PG or SG.
Would rather try to get 2 D league players with a athletic 6foot 11 players like Sean Williams.
resign shawn williams
try to sign another g/f in the raja bell/barnes/shannon brown form

If we can't use the MLE for Dalembert and Humpries

maybe split it up and try to get players like

I would of course try to sign these players at the minimum and see if they bite to play in New York.
Greg Foster
Dampier
Nazr
Reggie Evens
Kurt Thomas

Anthony Parker
Shannon Brown
Barnes

Petrius
Stojakavic

I would take a shot and use the MLE on Yao Ming if Dalembert and Kris Humpries are no longer options.
I know he has injury problems, but I think its a risk we have to take.

I wonder what is the value of TD and Fields.
I would like to keep them and see them develop but I would throw them out just to get an idea of what their value is in the summer.
I think TD has the potential to be a 6th man type role at the very least.
His defense wasn't great this playoffs but I believe he can be a lockdown defender. He needs a shot blocking center to back him up. And another defender with quickness and athletic ability at the G/F role. In our bench a player or 2 like Sefolosha, Sean Williams.

Imagine

TD
Sefolosha *looking for a player with similar attributes and game*
Shawne Williams
Sean Williams/Turiaf
Samuel Dalembert/ Sean Williams/Greg Foster

while this team would probably have probelems scoring, and Sefolosha has no way of coming except for a trade.
I want you to visualize a team without any of our starters and give you and idea of a team with
athleteticism, length, quickness, and defense with this squad. These guys can all run and fast break...
Its a squad we can easily try to get and have the right type of players to preach defense to.

One problem with the team above is that TD is the only ball handler and I believe you at least need 2 players especially because TD isn't the greatest decision maker.
With that said, I look for him to improve greatly this summer
