Bigs that are left?
If we still want to sign another big, we may be running out of options. Not that we were gunning for any of these guys, but Mikki Moore just signed with Sacramento and Magloire is supposedly signing a deal with the Nets. Joe Smith just signed with the Bulls.
Verejao appears to be resigning with the Cavs, only because no other team has more than the MLE to resign him.
There aren't many other bigs left beyond a few aging vets (Kelvin Cato, Mutombo) and question marks like Chris Mihm.
Mihm actually might be an o.k. option if we could sign him to a short contract on the cheap. He was hurt all last year, but when he's healthy he can get some boards and block a couple of shots. He can also score a little. My guess is, if he signs a short, cheap contract, he does it with a team like the Suns, who have been looking at him. Still, if he runs out of options, it might not be a bad idea to get him cheap and run him with a chip on his shoulder.
Another idea would be to sign Mihm and then trade Mihm and Harrington to Phoenix for Kurt Thomas. Since we're under the cap, I think we can absorb the other half of his contract. We could also ask Phoenix kindly for one of next year's draft picks. Kurt Thomas might more of an investment than we want for a guy his age, but he would allow our young bigs more time to develop and give us a consistent rebounder at the 4 or 5 to pair with Okafor.
Another guy that might be fun is a dirt cheap contract on Jake Tsakalidis. If nothing else, it brings interesting symmetry to he and Knight's career.
Who else? What do you think?
SOMEONE will pay for THIS!

Re: Bigs that are left?
regardless, we need to resign jake "the man with no weakness" voskuhl. chris mihm wouldn't be a bad option either
Re: Bigs that are left?
Sign Mihm. I think that he would fit in well with our current team.

Re: Bigs that are left?
Mihm for a short term contract.
Hell, I'd be happy with Melvin Ely and think he would be a great scorer @ the PF spot....especially in this type of offense as he would excel.
Why the hell did we trade him for Eric F*cking Williams?
Who the fuck is Dominic Mcguire
Re: Bigs that are left?
i wouldn't mind taking a shot at mutumbo....he'd be a great defensive sub for brezec...or if he proves he still has fuel left in the tank i guess he could start
Re: Bigs that are left?
i think thats bernies biggest blunder. i think he let pride get in the way there... he clearly didnt like Ely and traded him on principle i think. even though Ely was useless in San Antonio, thats two players Bernie has let leave without good reason that have won championships.Originally Posted by ziggy
Don't forget, San Antonio also threw in a conditional 2nd round pick in the 2033 draft
Re: Bigs that are left?
We traded for Williams because he has an expiring contract, which enabled us to get J Rich and resign Carrol and Crash all while having $$$ still left over.
Every Town Needs a Team....PLAY THE RIGHT WAY!
