Based on what this article expects, I'd order my hopefuls something like this:

1. Mahinmi
2. Deng
3. Marvin Williams
4. Cole Aldrich (not mentioned)
5. Jared Dudley
6. Courtney Lee

Very interesting, thorough list. Luol Deng would be a nice pickup for the Clippers at SF, but he's a Thibs favorite and the Wolves have lots of space, so I think Thibs will go much higher than $7 million per year.

Yeah... That one jumped out at me. Why would he take a paycut with all that money out there and nearing the end of his career (his last big contract)? I see him doubling that $7M... at least

That's about what I'm thinking, and the Clippers might not be players at that level, since they already have $78 million tied up in just 8 players.
