I know its very far away, but I think it should be brought up. First of all, I think there is slim to none chance that we get DH12. So I began to wonder who else we could sign with all of our money?

Well I looked up a list of 2012 free agents and here are some very notable free agents:
Eric Gordon
Kevin Love
Danilo Gallinari (kinda)
Gerald Wallace
Roy Hibbert
Brook Lopez
Landry Fields (kinda)
Nazr Mohammed (not really lol)
Javale McGee

Well what do you think? Who do you like? Who else do you have in mind?

That's not a bad list. Two out of Kevin Love, Eric Gordon, and Brook Lopez would be nice.

i think most of those guys wont make it to free agency.  half of them will be restricted, too (gordon, love, hibbert, lopez). 

really i think you'll be lookin at gerald wallace and maybe danilo out of that list as actual unrestricted free agents.

not a great list after all.

Derick Rose, Kevin Love, Russell Westbrook, Eric Gordon, Michael Beasley, Roy Hibbert, Brook Lopez, JaVale McGee ....

All of them are restricted free agents in 2012, so their teams can match any offer they receive. Besides, some of them will sign extensions before summer. Here is the full list http://www.hoopsworld.com/2012-nba-free-agents/

Yea I would LOVE to get Love (pun intended lol). Among others I would like Hibbert, Gordon, Wallace and Lopez. Do you think we can actually afford two of them though?

And wow you don't have to be mean about it PosImpos.

But concerning restricted free agents, isn't it very possible that we will be able to offer more money than their teams are unwilling/can't afford to spend?

I expect all three of those players to sign a contract extension in the next few weeks ... removing them from 2012 Free Agency.

Leaving only the Danilo Gallinaris and Roy Hibberts of the world.
