Out of the 4 guys we appear to be interested in, I like them in this order:
(1) Sonny Weems - Big and strong (6'6" 220). Makes us a little younger, a hell of a lot more athletic and the price is right. 4 yrs younger than Delfino.
(2) Carlos Delfino - I like him (respect the defense he always plays on Melo) but will he really settle for the vet minimum? Also, he feels more like a 3 to me -- is he quick/athletic enough to play the 2, guard 2s, etc.?
(3) Randy Foye - Ehh.. Don't love him but he's got value at the vet minimum I suppose. You get the feeling that if Chicago offered him $1 more, he'd go there instead.
(4) Ronnie Brewer - He's athletic enough but man that shooting mechanic of his is ugly. Not an effective offensive player at all. Known for his defense, but ask yourselves: is he really stopping any of the top wings in our conference come playoff time -- LeBron James, D Wade, Paul Pierce, even Ray Allen? I don't see it. And then he's not gonna make these guys work on the other end either..So what's the point then?
-----------------------------------
I just can't understand why we are limiting ourselves to these 4. What about Scotty Hopson (better option than any of the above 4 imho), CDR (same), or Derrick Byars? Remember that guy? Solid at Vandy and he looked good for the Bulls too for awhile. Been playing solid ball in the DL and Europe since then btw. Byars is just a solid player, period. He'd be perfect here... I've always liked Austin Freeman and this Andre Emmett just tore apart the DL last yr...Matt Janning's a real nice combo. 1/2 that can shoot...You just had Sylven Landesberg in for 2 SL games. Can he be bought out of that 3-yr deal he just signed to go back to Israel?? What about James Anderson -- did he officially re-sign in SA yet? What about Jamelle Horne, Alonzo Gee, Dionte Christmas, Manny Harris, or Hollis Thompson???? Come on, Glen..Broaden the damn search here a little bit!!
