talent search

[Mark Piotrowski]

Jacque Vaughn is probably #4 on my list of FA PGs i'd like to get.

1.  Sam Cassell -- we have 0% chance to get him with just the MLE, 
but he's made a believer out of me w/ having gotten each of his last 
3 team (MIL, MIN, LAC) deep into the playoffs where they'd not been 
in a long time.  He's the only FA PG that i'd sign to start ahead of 
Delonte -- not Bobby Jackson, Claxton, Terry, etc.  Most of them 
aren't that much better than Delonte, certainly not at the $ they'd 
command and they're on the backsides of their careers.

the rest we'd have a chance of signign as Vet backups for West:

2.  David Wesley -- give him a chance to retire a Celtic.  He's still 
got 15-20 mpg in the tank and would settle the 2nd unit.  Only 
problem is Gomes would have to give up #4 (he could take #8 though :)

3.  Darrick Martin -- a solid veteran backup  who's a bit younger than Vaughn..

4.  Jacque Vaughn -- trade for Scott Pollard too and we'd roll out 
the remaining 4 Jayhawks from that mid 90s team (ostertag just 
retired).
