I think that a probable wildcard will be Terrance Morris of Maryland. He just
has the right athletic and fundamental tools where he will wow teams in
workouts. A lot of the time wildcards are players who wow teams in the
individual workouts and its almost a given that Terrance will shine in those. He
should also do very well at the various pre-draft camps where its similar to an
All-Star game, each player is just trying to show off their stuff and not
worried about in-game situations.

I really like Tom's suggestion of Rasheed Wallace. I'd be either keeping Antoine
and playing him at the point or trying to find a deal with someone like Wallace
or a sign-and-trade package for C-Webb.

I would also do the Kenny trade for Vin Baker so long as Vin would re-write his
contract - which is possible; Washington's already done that this year........
