Year was a solid step forward in the right direction. Your not going to be the Celts or even put up a fight when 2 of your 3 best players are no where close to being healthy.
Need to make a run at Marc Gasol this summer and if not him, think long and hard about grabbing Greg Oden. We desperately need depth, sign some good veterans this summer and pray to hit a home run with our draft pick (which in this draft just means getting a guy who can be a serviceable role player).
Free agents this summer by position worth looking at. I think we our fine at PG to be honest but we need to bring in a starting type Center, a good veteran SG/SF that would work well with Melo and make sure Bill Walker never touch the court ever again and another big to bring off the bench to provide rest for Stat.
PG:
All the top guys are restricted or have player options which they are going to take. While I know you guys have been critical of the PG play, we should be fine here. If Billiups is healthy, Toney is a more than serviceable backup.
SG:
J Rich: We need a 3 pt shooter at the SG spot, he would be a good look there definitely moving Landry to a backup SG position. Prolly to pricey for us though.
JR Smith: Guy is a ****** but the talent is undeniable. Once again we need a consistent 3 pt shooter at the 2 spot and he fills that requirement quite well.
Nick Young: Want no parts of this guy to be honest, classic guy who puts up points on a bad team.
Michael Redd: I think this is something that could actually happen. Guy made a lot of money in Milwaukee and prolly is looking to go to a place where he could win and think he would be a good fit here since all he would be asked to do is knock down 3's.
SF:
Grant Hill: Don't think he wants to leave the Suns but maybe chance of winning could entice him to come here. Would be great filling either the other SG/SF first guy off the bench role for us.
Tayshaun Prince: Once again prolly too pricey for us and wants to be a starter but who knows.
PF:
Kirilenko: Would be a good guy off the bench, made lots of money in Utah could be interested in coming to NY with the big Russian population here possibly?
Carl Landry: Doubt this guy leaves New Orleans but would be a perfect undersized type of big to bring off the bench.
Chuck Hayes: Prolly not leaving Houston but good energy type guy who does all the dirty work.
C:
Chandler: Hopefully the Mavs lose this series and Mark Cuban finally realized it is time to rebuild and doesn't throw 60 million at the guy. He prolly will though cause he is Mark Cuban and overpaying centers is what he does.
Marc Gasol: My ideal guy to go after this summer but is restricted and with how bright the Grizz future looks with that core no chance I see him getting away.
Joel Pryzbilla: Prefer him to Dalembert but he doesn't pegg me as a NY guy.
Dalembert: Really dislike dude, inconsistent effort, there is a reason this dude has never been on a team worth +*!%. Really will be dissapointed if he's the C we end up with which he prolly will be.
Oden: Really think he is worth possibly taking a shot on. Bill Walton won a championship only being healthy half a year which is what we would ask from Oden. The little bit that the guy has actually played he has been a defensive force and would make our frontline
if he could and obivouly that a huge IF stay healthy. Would rather swing for the fences with him than sign Dalembert.
