Facilitator. I agree with that and DWill is definitely not a mental ****** that'd be no factor in the scenarios Melo and STAT are off. I agree he has to facilitate but his main threat imo is that he can score at the elite level which would give teams fits in trying to defend all 3.

I don't know what type of pg we can get through trades or in the near future of FA that can defend and is a good enough passer or with experience to take control of the team.

To mention what I said about the bench in a previous post. Think we'd do better with a defensive Cs and PF and let the offense rest on the backup guards.

What defensive PFs and/or C's are available?

Team needs a guy like Reggie Evans up front.

I skimmed through this list. It's hasn't been updated in a while, but I think most of it is current information. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?page=FreeAgents-11-12

From skimming I came up with some possibilities. I bolded the ones I think fit what we need :

Andre Kirilenko
Reggie Evans
Samuel Dalembert
Joel Pryzbilla (I think he said he's retiring ?)
Nick Collison (I think Thunder will lock him up)
Nenad Krstic
Wilson Chandler

David West
Kris Humphries (I like son, tough rebounder, finishes at the rim. Think Lala could get Kim to gas him up ?

)
Marc Gasol
DeAndre Jordan
Tyson Chandler (Mavs probably will re-sign him)

Him and Dalembert but I think Evans is injured and might not be available or we probably wouldn't be able to offer anything good where'd he end up here. I've seen DubA mention Evans before and I agree but the other part I'm just like who else is like Reggie Evans in the league that doesn't have a horrible contract? I think we can get Dalembert though.

That's always the thing I'd like defensive players for us but we don't got much to offer and none of them are FAs any time soon.

 

[Mark Antony]

You ain't got sad perk on your list?

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

Perk just caught the extension right ?

 

[Mark Antony]

Oh damn, i didn't know he signed an extension. Why he so sad then?

 

[|A-Man|]

Perk extended.

Imma wait till off season to start looking at FAs for 2012. IIRC we don't even have enough cap to go out and sign a lot of FAs this season.

 

[you go boy]
