Premium Member Diesel Posted June 25, 2008 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Quote: 3. Theo Ratliff (tutor to Robert Swift) I laugh very hard reading that. Theo could tutor Swift. He could teach him how to sit out on IL with a hangnail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will only go to obvious contenders. I totally agree. At low prices, Finley and Kurt can name their team and it won't be Atlanta. I don't pretend to know what those guys are going to command, but on the other hand, I would contend some players watched the Boston series and saw a team that reminded them of other young inconsistent teams within their lifetimes who appeared to be on the brink of emerging into something intriguing if not special... I mean, there's only so many teams that are "automatic" contenders in the league, and all of them have the same roster limits and salary rules as everyone else... Finley and Thomas just aren't "special" enough to my eyes to say they can name their team and it won't be Atlanta. Having said, that, odds are, you'll be right, AHF, and they won't end up in ATL. I can already hear a bell ringing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exodus Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Considering our budget and what we need him for i think he would be a good option. I would pass on Lue again. he is too much of a liability on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plainview1981 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 I would take Kwame for cheap as the backup. Despite his poor offense he IS a good defensive Power Forward. He is basically this decades Kandi Man so he would have to come really cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can already hear a bell ringing... I think the point is that guys like Finley and Thomas are useful veterans who likely will be willing to sign for the minimum, usually a one year deal to boot, to play for a team with a legitimate shot at a championship.
