Warriors fans will forever have a jaded view of Foyle because of the money Mullin threw at him - certainly no falut of Foyle's.
Those who haven't watched the Warriors, however, are probably not cognizant of Foyle's deteriorating skills.
I dunno if these guys have been picked up, but depending on 'what you need', how about Chris Webber? Dikembe Mutombo? (maybe even Cliff Robinson?).
Then again, I might just be one of those jaded Warriors fans...

Orlando was making a push to sign C-Webb but he was asking for more than what the Magic could afford. This organization is trying to squeeze dollars out of dimes right now... and i don't think that any of them would be willing to play for the vet min, maybe robinson.. but what makes him any better than foyle for this clubhouse like you mentioned earlier. and it's hard to argue his presence inside, which is what we need... Battie is servicable, but he's not dependable.
I still believe that we need to do more if we want to compete with the elite in the east... garrity, turk, 1 of our 1s are all expendable at this point and we could hopefully improve more before training camp begins.
