Looking at the roster, I am not sure the C's are in that need of another big signing, unless they can somehow get a major impact player (Billups, Rip, etc.) before the season starts.  

Right now, I think they already have a solid rotation with Dooling, Daniels, Green, Bass, and Wilcox coming off the bench, and the young guys behind them.  It may not yet be a championship rotation, but it should get them a solid spot in the playoffs.

So, I am wondering if they might be better holding on to their MLE, and hoping to use it either for a buyout guy, or more likely for one of the guys coming back from China in March.  

Most contenders won't have that available, and the C's should have a very strong case to bring in a guy like Kenyon Martin or JR Smith, either of whom could be the type of player that could put them over the top into the top contender category.

Anything like this would be a risk, but when your options are give the MLE to a guy like Kwame Brown or rolling the dice on getting Martin, I roll the dice.

So, I say, go out and sign another vet minimum big man, and maybe another perimeter guy, and keep the seat warm for Martin.
