thing that makes sense and will make sense is to really pursue the services 
of Theo Ratliff.  He is the one we will be needing in terms of toughness 
inside the paint, power rebounding, ooooooooh SHOTBLOCKING, and 
intimidation.  I see this guy as the answer for our lack of 
shotblocking/intimidation in the middle.  And with Ratliff, I am just not 
sure how much he'll command for his price but hopefully not astronomical.

Ratliff would simply give us another 4 trying to play the 5 spot.  I like 
going after Nazr Mohammed a bigger shot blocker and getting a FA with some 
outside scoring ability to play the 2 or 3 spot opposite Mercer.
