Agreed, I would be perfectly happy with a guy like Pietrus as a stopgap until Shump comes back. He plays good defense & can knock down the open 3 pointer. Good enough size & athleticism to guard most SG's & SF's in the league. I think we could definitely get him for around the $1.4M veteran's minimum. Willie Green wouldn't be bad either, but I would prefer Mo Evans because he's more of a dirty work type player & that's really what we need at that position & spot in the rotation. I think we should avoid T-Mac, he's incapable of playing any sort of quality defense w/his shoddy knees, & we need someone that can guard guys like D Wade, Pierce, Ray Allen, Joe Johnson, etc. if we want to compete w/the other teams in the East.
Before we talk about Randy Foye, we need to give OJ Mayo a call to see if he'd play for the full-level MLE. If they could work out a sign-and-trade with the Suns to get Nash, spend the MLE on OJ Mayo, and sign a couple more guys at the minimum salary...
Since Camoby would sign only for the mid level at 3 mil per year and Jeffries would happily accept the vet minimum, we can have both..
However, If I had to choose I would choose Camby in a heart beat. Marcus Camby averaged 9 rebounds a game in only 25 min per game last season, he can also hit an open mid range shot and block shots...he is a perfect back up big man.
We need someone like Camby because when Tyson gets in foul trouble, which is always because he has anger management issues, we need someone to hold down the fort and Josh Harrelson is nice but Camby is legit.
