[Shaqs big toe]

OK, I like playing this game. Yo take your clothes off and I... no wait, wrong game.

Basically, I just want to know that if you could choose one second tier player, who do you think would benefit your team best?

Now when I say 'second tier', I mean that Shaq, Vince, Kobe, T-Mac, Duncan et al are all out of bounds. I am talking more quality support or 'semi-stars' I suppose.

Personally, I have always loved what Corliss Williamson and Juwan Howard bring to the table (though I do know that sometimes both show up empty handed).

Your thoughts???

This is an interesting topic. I think I go along with you when you mention Juwan Howard as a really good back up player you'd want on your team. I also would like Brian Grant.

I think the Heat have the BEST 2nd tier player in E.J..If Zo was 100% he would be one of the top 5 players in the league STILL,and E.J. would be the perfect 2nd option.Now that I think about it though E.J. might not put up T-Mac #s night in and night out,but hes a HELL OF ALOT BETTER then Howard!

What about Shawn Marion-guy is my favorite player-besides the whole Laker team

How about Michael Finley

Hmmmm good Q. How about Cuttino Mobley and Jason Terry? They are some of the best 2nd tier players in the L IMO.

Great question Shaq's big tow

I am going to say Pau Gasol. I think this kid is gonna be a great player in a couple of years.

He is a big man with a soft touch. Pau can shhot over you post up and is a good passer.

I'd have to say, this year, Bobby Jackson! Now, a lot of people are mentioning guys that are near All Star level... I take it you mean borderline starters to key reserves? I like Bobby Jackson a lot. Also, Juwan Howard is probably the best role player in the NBA.
