If there was a way to get him for 1 yr cheap it's a no brainier. However, given the same option for Oden I'd rather take him. That's what we need.

We're not signing any capable starting centers. There aren't many on the market and the ones that are available aren't taking one year deals.

There are a lot of guys out there. Someone is gonna fall thru the cracks. Most likely someone old. I think you underestimate just how many players are available in this FA market. It's a huge list of guys and not all of them will find a home. We'll see what shakes loose from this bunch.

As for a center, I'd look at Aaron Gray. He's an above average low post scorer. I know that's not what the team needs out of the position, but at a low pricetag, it' snice to get a guy who can contribute something. Kwame Brown might be necessary because of his size and that he can give 20mpg

would love to add carl landry as well, but that's probably a pipe dream. i think a capable PF backup to amar'e is a huge key. landry would be that, he could fill amar'e's role in the pick and roll stuff well.

don't believe b roy will be amnestied, and if he were, he'd be bid on immediately. only teams with cap room can bid - if no teams bid THEN he becomes a free agent. i've heard roy will be waived in 2012, if at all, because then portland would actually get cap room to replace him.

No love for Derrick Brown????
