I haven't checked the list for accuracy, but it seems pretty comprehensive.

[kozlodoev]

Out of this lot, I'd love to have Duhon and Udoka. I think this pretty much takes care of all glaring needs we have for next season.

[Roy Hobbs]

My favorites (unrestricted only):

Point guard - Steve Blake, Earl Watson
Shooting guard - Ray Allen, Tony Allen, Mike Miller (can also play SF)
Small forward - Mike Miller (see above), Rasual Butler
Power forward - Al Harrington, Hakim Warrick (we can't really afford any of the big names)
Center - Brad Miller, Brendan Haywood, Ben Wallace

Miller and Blake are my favorite guys on the list for our team, I think.

[KungPoweChicken]

I definitely like Al Harrington and Mike Miller. I'd probably be willing to offer a third year to one of these guys for the full MLE, as that would probably be what it takes (if we're lucky).



Would anyone be interested in offering Joe Alexander a non guaranteed minimum and making him the new Patrick O'Bryant?

[kozlodoev]

Well, I am operating on the assumption that Ray Allen and Tony Allen are returning. With this said, we need backups at PG and SF  that play solid defense and can hit an open shot.

[Gainesville Celtic]

Travis Outlaw is someone who I'd like the C's to take a look at. Still a lot of unrealized potential (which can be good or bad).

[CoachBo]

My favorites (unrestricted only):

Point guard - Steve Blake, Earl Watson
Shooting guard - Ray Allen, Tony Allen, Mike Miller (can also play SF)
Small forward - Mike Miller (see above), Rasual Butler

[Cman]

Well, I am operating on the assumption that Ray Allen and Tony Allen are returning. With this said, we need backups at PG and SF  that play solid defense and can hit an open shot.

Id be quite happy if the Cs could resign both Allens, and add someone like Al Harrington.  A vet PG for the min would round things out nicely.

[fairweatherfan06]

Needs:  A backup PG (hopefully with a little size) That can defend and either penetrate or shoot (both would be too much to hope for at what we can afford but they need to do at least one of those plus defend). Not sure who is a good choice for this:  Steve Blake, Chris Duhon, Luke Ridnour, I think Shaun Livingston has made enough of a comeback he might even a decent backup for Rondo.

I think TA's earned his spot as our backup SG (Ray's backup) I'm assuming we're getting both Allen's back

We really need a backup for Paul.  Who can shoot and maybe some size.  I like Travis Outlaw or Mike Miller here as first choices not opposed to T-Mac (if he'd take less money and be a backup) or Dorell Wright as second choices.

Last thing we need is another backup big man preferably athletic.  Hakim Warrick, Al Harrington, Udonis Haslem, even Brendan Haywood are on my wish list (not sure what the market will be for any of them) but definitely a live body to take some of Sheed's minutes especially during the season....

[makaveli]

I think we don't need anyone, this team is playing great, and if we make it healthy to the playoffs next season, I can see the exact same rotation as we have right now.
I think well sing someone who won't really make an impact, but I'm a bit excited about our draft pick.

[MBz]

Would anyone be interested in offering Joe Alexander a non guaranteed minimum and making him the new Patrick O'Bryant?

I'd do it.  Give him a chance.  See what happens.  He's athletic and he'd be on the cheap.  We really will not have much money to play with this summer, so I'm guessing you will see something like this with a player and a lot of other players for the minimum being signed.

[xmuscularghandix]

Point guard - Steve Blake, Earl Watson
Shooting guard - Ray Allen, Tony Allen, Mike Miller (can also play SF)
Small forward - Mike Miller (see above), Rasual Butler

Center - Brad Miller, Brendan Haywood, Ben Wallace

Miller and Blake are my favorite guys on the list for our team, I think.

I'd like Al Harrington if he's willing to take that pay cut, but i think he could still get above the MLE.

As far as backup PGs go theres a couple guys that i'd like.

Steve Blake i agree with 100%

I'd also like the idea of Shaun Livingston, it seemed like he was getting his groove back after what was perceived a career ending injury. I love big point guards, and i love nice comeback stories so it'd be cool.

I also think that Anthony Carter could be a good backup point. Veteran, doesn't look for his own shot, great defender, has a nice attitude even when he's lacking playing time.

Lets also note that the backup point doesn't really play in the playoffs because if we wanna go anywhere Rondo will be logging some time.

Big Baby says hi.

[fanofgreen]

Do you think we could snag Michael Redd for a bargain?

I would prefer Mike Miller but, I'm assuming that he could get more money and minutes elsewhere.

Could you imagine, having Michael Redd and Ray out there together,  running off screens on both sides of the court, and opening the lane up even more for Rondo......just a little day dream!

[Who]

The MLE free agency options options aren't up to much this year. No great options there outside of Ty Thomas.

So, my preference at this given time, is spending around $4 million on one player (Amir Johnson or Dorell Wright) and then giving $2 million to a second player (Amundson, Rasual Butler, Roger Mason Jr).
