Stith, Palacio, Herren are not going to help us and they should not be
resigned, especially to long term deals. I think Forte will see a lot of
time at the point. If it doesn't work out, then Randy Brown or another free
agent could be sought. Seeing Nazr play against Shaq last year I would take
him over VP & Battie, but we don't have room for them all along with Blount.
If we could only do a Nazr for VP swap. I would consider giving up next
years # 1, We don't need any more rookies and need some consistent veteran
role players like a David Wesley. Unfortunately Stith is on his last legs.
*****************
I agree whole heartedly about needing veteran toughness to this team, but is Nazr that animal? Can he be tougher than Potapenko? My #1 request at this point would be for a shot blocker. I'd like to trade some cap garbage; Williams and Walter, say, for Toronto's cap garbage; Yogi Stewart(who is an embarrasment to Raptor mangement),if nothing else develops.
If Stith will agree to a one year deal, I'd sign him, if not aa release or a sign and trade.
Wesley is going to get a lot of money and way too many years, from Charlotte.
I am not thrilled with Palacio, he's not a point guard by nature, but sometimes there is a destiny attached to certain players. I keep thinking about the 9 point guards who were injured and/or useless, before Milt came in and stabilized that position a bit. I like a player who shows marked improvement over the course of a season. He accomaodates Antoinabee's point guard ambitions very well, giving us the tough defense and the lack of ego, that would make it impossible for a true point guard to play here.
