Re: Chris Gee's Duncan post

I agree we need some outside scoring threats to make the team complete. We
don't have anyone that is a consistent threat.   Billups could be the
answer, or drop down & take Mcgrady, Willoughby, Cory Carr, Miles Simon,
Reggie Freeman and center  & point backups like Cato or Scot Pollard,
Woolridge or Kiwane Garris. Charles O'bannon is actually not to bad an
outside shooter and very athletic we could get him in the second round to
replace Fox.
