People complain about KAT's defense and you want to add Okafor? That's a big no thanks from me!

I would take okafor. Never have i seen a prospect go from what looked like would be a quality player in his rookie year to apparently worthless the next. I would take a flyer on him

He'd be one of the great ones twenty years ago. He's a liability in today's NBA.

I just noticed you left PJ Tucker off the list. Toronto apparently feels pretty good about getting deals done with Lowry and Ibaka, but are not as confident with Tucker.

Time to look at the next tier of FAs, forcusing on UFAs:

Darren Collison
Ian Clark
Afflalo
Tyreke Evans
Ben McClemore
Thomas Robinson
Luke Babbit

We should be able to sign at least two of these with our remaining $15 million in cap space.

Jermichael green, PJ Tucker, and Ben McLemore would be wonderful, can Thibs pull it off?

I don't see us getting Green. But I could see Thibs getting Tucker, although it probably wouldn't leave anything but salary cap exceptions for anyone else.

T-Rob is a vet min guy for me he is down at least a tier. His resume isn't even as good as Jordon Hill and where does he play in this NBA?

Someone could get a pretty good deal in Tyreke Evans if he stays healthy and the fit is right.

Monster -- I agree that Robinson is another tier down. If I could sign any two of the guys on my list with our remaining cap room, I'd choose Darren Collison and Tyrke Evans. I'm leery of McClemore. He still has star talent, but he seems like a guy with very little motivation or passion for the game. Ever since he put his name in the NBA draft several years ago, it seems that NBA front office personnel have seen problems with him. He dropped surprisingly far in the draft that year. Since being drafted his minutes have gone down as his game has failed to improve. The Kings have had him on the trading block for years with no takers to the point where they're letting him go for nothing as an unrestricted FA.

I agree on Mclemore. I said a couple days ago he sorta reminds me of Smiling Wes. If you can get Mclemore for the vet min and he turned out to be as useful as Wes that would be a good deal. Getting out of Sacramento probably wouldn't hurt him.

Collison would be a nice get. There are some very solid players out there like Illyasova. Evans...can he hit 3's enough? I'd like Tolliver. Muscala is intruiging also I would think if the price is reasonable Atlanta will keep him though he wants to stay there.
