I think we should sign Mourning. Seems like a good fit with the Raptors.

I very much agree

Big no from me on the Nene front, unless the contract is reasonable, which it won't be.

How much more likely is the re-signing of Mike James, now?

And how much more will he cost us now that his agent has a) Bosh's desire and b) cap space both to use as leverage?

oh gawd no, now that we have cap space we should try to sign outside free agents first and then resign James since we can sign him at any figures

James isn't restricted, is he?

Joel is infinitely better than anything we'd have drafted in the 20's

he's damn near perfect for our team

interior D gets a huge lift, rebounding gets a huge lift, finally have a shotblocker, finally have someone to steer people too, gets Bonner out of the paint, gets Bosh away from monsters, takes all sorts of pressure off Bosh. I don't think any team in the league would benefit as much from a legit center

unrestricted free agent, but Larry Bird rule you can sign your own free agents even if we exceed salary cap

TRON · 02-03-2006, 03:25 PM

Mike James and Joel would be nice, but I fear we will have to overpay

**superdude211** · 02-03-2006, 03:37 PM

1) Ben Wallace, PF/C, Detroit (This is wishful thinking, but i can dream cant I)
2) Nene (restricted)
3) Joel Przybilla
4) Bobby Jackson (if james doesnt re sign)
5) Melvin Ely
6) Reggie Evans (I know he plays PF, but the man can rebound)

I thought you had to be under contract for three years to have Bird rights on a player. Is that not the case?

McFurious · 02-03-2006, 03:51 PM

I would throw most of our money to Al Harrington and the remainder at either Ely/Pryz/Za

pg-James
sg-Mo-pete
sf-Harrington
pf-Bosh
c-Ely

Bench
CV
06 Draft pick
JG
Calderon
Sow
Bonner
Hoffa

All depends on the draft.

Take Morrison in the draft and steal Joel in free agency (Portland has a lot of work to do to catch our offer). Plenty of room for a prospect from last year's second round and Mike J.

Or... LaMarcus. Sign whomever. Save money. Whatever. Villenueva, Bosh, and Aldridge frontcourt could the league's best.

I'd really appreciate a list of next year's UFAs, including second rounders.
