as a possible signee - even if we draft frye/bynum/blatche since they proobably won't be ready to start?

thats probably overpaying. He's big but he's hurt alot, doesnt stay in shape and isnt the happiest fellow to have around.

If the Bucks pick Bogut I think Gadurich is a much better option. Offer them something like JYD and a pick, or even Crawford in a sign and trade. I think he's worth more than the MLE.. something like $6-$6mm per to start.

Jerome James = most overated player.
Jerome James = Erick Dampier BUT 10X worse
Jerome James = someone who only plays when his contract becomes noteworthy.

Jermoe James = Hopefully not a Knick

agree w/nyk...i hope Isiah spends his money wiser than wasting it on Jerome James...you can just see that guy getting lazy once he signs a longterm deal *cough* Dampier *cough* *cough*
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

I'd rather have Kwame Brown for the MLE. At least with Brown you are getting a player that under a new system, team, etc. has a higher upside and is more importantly younger.

Yeah, I'm not interested in Jerome at all. Very lazy player who is almost a sure bet to revert back to that lazy form if he gets a long term deal rather than how he played in the playoffs.

I would pass on Jerome James also...Isiah doesn't like guys that are not too athletic and is not a consistant scorer, so you might as well forget about him

No, thanks. He is in that list for something. I think the best option is Steven Hunter. A guy like him you would consider giving most of the MLE, though it won't probably be necesarry, just half of it or a little more.
