Bobby Simmons is the guy I am hoping gets bought out. I don't know if he is injured or what, but he hasn't been playing much for the Nets, and would benefit greatly from working out a buyout, and catching on with a contender. He is dramatically overpaid right now, but he would be a great addition to this C's team with his length, shooting ability, and defensive ability.
For me that guy is Larry Hughes. He is expiring. he is at a position we could use(wing), he's a good defender, and he can slash, score and pass while taking decent care of the ball. Basically a bigger, longer, better version of Tony Allen without all the turnovers.
I know he would be a little redundant on this team with Daniels and Tony but I think Tony's going to be traded and Hughes is a better fit to guard big wing players than Tony.
I was thinking about him too, but does he have anything left? The last few times I saw him play, he looked completely cooked. But you are right, if he has anything left, and can still defend, he would be perfect.
I thought Larry Hughes looked pretty good earlier on in the season. He was awful last year though.
Bobby Simmons is a great name. I'm interested in him too. Big strong small forward. It'd be nice to have that type of size, a different sort of wing at least in physical terms, off the bench. Instead of three shooting guards (Daniels, TA, Hughes/Hassell). Good shooter, rebounds the ball and is a decent defender. Simmons would be a nice pickup. He'd offer something different than what the team already has.
