We will probably be looking at Thomas, LaFrentz, Jamison, Foyle, Billups,
Willoughby  available with the Dallas pick.  Some good young talent.







I see a couple of problems:

1. Dee Brown can't play point guard worth squat, too slow & not a good
enough playmaker.

2. We can't play with a back court of Barros & Wesley way too small & a
defensive liability against big guards.  If we don't land a big 2, Barros
must go.

3. Minor can't shoot from the outside,  so he does not help us at the 2
except for limited backup support.



I still like moving Minor for Brent Barry who can play both positions and
letting D.J. work with him,  &  drafting Willoughby, Billups, Garris, Miles
Simon, or Antonio Daniels with the Dallas pick or second rounder, plus
possibly a Bobby Phills as a free agent.  

Can anyone post the free agent list again ?


Does anyone think Mike Bibby will go pro ?  His dad was a great playmaker
in his day.
