I would take Davis over Delk, Brown, and Forte non of which did anything in
the playoffs, and keep Paul at the 3 spot although our low post should be
our priority. I would use Forte, or even Brown if we have to, to acquire a
proven low post vet or move up and get an aggressive  big man like Wilcox.

Blount is terrible. We should jettison him ASAP. James and Drobjnak
outplayed our first string last year, and James is a huge guy.

I have not seen Oyedeji, but do not think he provides the physical rebounder
we need.

Last season, Clipper exercise the team option on McGinnis, as such he
was never really available in the market. Palacio's contract was for
1.4mil/2 years, with year 2 team option.

Ricky Davis played superb last season, which happened to be his
contract year. Even Cavs are thinking TWICE about inking him long
term, since they made a ton of mistakes like Wesley Person, Lamond
Murray, Illguasas. I think we are adequate at the 2 guard spot
(Pierce, Delk, Forte, Brown), no need for any "name" players.

Oyedeji I like. I think he is a restricted FA, having completed his 2
year rookie (2nd round pick) with the Sonics. I hope Wallace is on
him.

Blount I like better than Jerome James. Blount just needs some
intensity in his approach to bball.

We should have signed McGinnis last year instead of dumping $3M on
Palacio. That was downright ignorant for anyone with any basketball
knowledge.Ricky Davis would be a nice 2 guard addition. Did anyone see
Oyedeji play this year? If Jerome James is the huge guy with
Washington I would take him as Blounts replacement? He played fairly
well against us one game and seemed fairly mobile for his size.
Skinner has had one injury prone season after another I would stay
away from him.
