For the players that were on expiring contracts but didn't get traded and are stuck on sorry teams. These can't be allstars but good role players to relieve Pierce and Ray of heavy minutes till the Playoffs.

Damien Wilkins
- Just recently started seeing fair playing time and is earning it as well. Good defender and can create his own shot in more ways than one.
Sasha Pavolovic - Definitely a good shooter and decent rebounder, but doesn't see the floor consistently.
Mike Miller - His team just got blown up. He should be let go to play for what he signed up for - a chance at the trophy.
Roger Mason - Asked for a trade last week but wasn't accommodated accordingly. Great shooter that could allow Daniels to play more SF.
Travis Outlaw - One of my personal targets for next year, but could fill the void here for the short,lazy bench.
Dorell Wright - He was surprised he wasn't traded. Seems expendable there at this point and could sub Pierce for 15mpg
Ime Udoka - Another vet role player that can focus on D and hitting the open 3

Along with these wings, we could obviously use another big come playoff time. Drew Gooden and Kenny Thomas come to mind.
Can't stop, Rondo!

Well, less than a week to go for players to get bought out. I hope some decent defensive wing who can hit a 3 occasionally and thus give PP and Ray some rest might be available. Other than that, our bench is pretty complete. Wilkins and Udoka seem very intriguing, and probably have the highest chance of getting bought out of the players you listed. Mike Miller would be perfect, of course, but I don't think it will happen.

If Mike Miller was miraculously bought out, we would need to swoop him up immediately. He should be our main target with our MLE next year either way. He's an efficient shooter and a great rebounding guard.

Him with Nate and Marquis would be sooo nasty.


Outlaw is okay, but our frontcourt depth is fine, though. We have plenty of good bodies.

The Spurs are still making a run so I don't see them letting Roger Mason go. They don't have that kind of backcourt depth.
