Michael Redd – His name was floated earlier and I really like the idea. He has made his money and with a strong medical team with good players and a system that would allow him to gun from 3 he could make a strong late career resurgence.

Greg Oden – Perhaps the least likely, but his knees need tending to and it would be a fresh start. But is it worth Fields and the first we would likely have to send. Big Risk but possible high reward

Nazr Mohammed – Vet Minimum and high IQ

Grant Hill – D’Antoni and STAT – would add another veteran presence as well.

Leandro Barbosa – Phoenix ties and although taking less money is unlikely he could exercise his Player Option to get out of Toronto

There are others such as Ajinca and Chuck Hayes who would be very good pickups. Two outside bets are:-

Yao Ming….. – Long shot but at the vets Minimum he could exploit the NY market for China as well as take care of those troublesome knees.

Tayshaun Prince – UFA as well and part of the Billups era Pistons. You wouldn’t blame him for getting out of Detroit and playing on a playoff team for another go at it…

Frank: @112 – not a bad idea, but we better believe that Mozgov is the future answer at the 5 because his current contract carries a $3M 2012-13 cap# which would probably make it impossible to go after a max guy next summer.

I think it’s impossible anyway. Unless there are major changes, in our favor, to the cap agreement we are going to be 5-6 million under a max contract no matter what we do. Plus if we do anything other than tread water with our MLE (if it still exists) then cap space in 2012 is moot anyway.

I personally think we should try and get Mozgov back. He is totally redundant in Denver with Nene, Anderson and Koufos, so he should be attainable. He has played well, in limited minutes, since the new year. (14.1 pts 9.6 rebs 59% TS% in 273 minutes) He is also a legitimate 7 footer that D’Antoni likes and already knows the offense so he can spend the entire summer getting better rather than learning a new system. I think if we offered our 1st rounder for him Denver would bite and since there is no real center’s in this draft anywhere near where we’re picking he would be a better pick up than almost anyone we can draft.

That would give us, with Turiaf and the addition of Jordan, three real centers to hopefully give us a full 48 minutes.

I think Douglas should continue to improve, he was a better PG this year than last, and if he can keep improving he should be a great backup PG next year and maybe a starter once Billups expires. I still have alot of faith in him, he struggled during the playoffs but was very good down the stretch this season and is the main reason we were able to stay above .500.

Bringing back Chandler would be a very good move. Maybe a hidden bonus of the Melo trade is a cheaper Chandler. Chandler at the MLE is a very good deal and he would solve all of our depth problems across the wing.

I guess the best offseason for me would be to bring Jordan over, trade for Mozgov, resign Chandler and then buy as many late 1sts/early 2nds as we can and just swing for the fences and hope for another Fields.
