Wow, a Who's Who of players you DON'T want on your team!

 

[Espo]

Shawn Kemp, we could have the Reign(ing) bricks man. That guy has eaten his way out of the NBA. That guy was so talented and now the only triple double he can get anywhere near is a triple cheese burger and double shake. To bad too he was fun to watch.

I figured the cupboard must be pretty bare when I heard Oliver Miller is back in the NBA.

WOW - I remember that guy!

Um, how could we not be looking up Chris Dudly??


I thought when you retire like 4 times your name gets taken off that list

 

[SweetD]

Jason Caffey would be nice to fill in until Amare and Zarko come back.

I think Reggie Slater would be worth a look. He played for the Wolves for a couple of years and did pretty well against us a few times in brief stints. He's a bruising inside player... about 6'9 and 250.

Anthony Mason is the most talented of the PF's - too bad he's a head case. We could have used him banging against Zach Randolf the other night... holding him, elbowing him, stepping on his feet.

If we didn't have three centers already and our bench Pole, I'd say Mikki Moore. 7' 230, fairly athletic. I saw him play maybe a quarter for Detroit three years back. He was hustling all over, challenging shots, getting out on the break. I thought, "a raw Marcus Camby". I was thinking then he'd be the right sort of bench player for a running team. It could well be that I saw his best game ever because he rarely got more than 5 min a game - I followed his stats for a while after that game.

I remember Chris Carr pretty well, too... uhhh, no thanks... if we were going to get a gunner, I'd prefer Walt Williams. Now and then that guy makes a brilliant pass which is fun to see when it happens...

Wang ZhiZhi wouldn't be bad, seriously he is long and can shoot.

I agree, but isn't there some issue with him in the Chinese government? I thought teams were staying away from him for fear of straining relations with the Chinese.

Also, Wang makes Penny Hardaway look like Ron Artest on defense. He's awful.
