Top 10 Unrestricted Mid-Level Free Agents

[The Ghost of Blue Edwards]

Title is pretty self-explanatory. Make your lists and be ready to get criticized. Free agents must be possible to be had at full MLE or below and unrestricted. My wants:


1. Brendan Haywood
2. Mike Miller
3. Shaq
4. John Salmons
5. Udonis Haslem
6. Craig Smith
7. Jermaine O'Neal
8. Brad Miller
9. Louis Amundson
10. Anthony Tolliver

Are Haywood,Shaq, and Oneal really mid-level?

 

[The Ghost of Blue Edwards]

Shaq and Jermaine are extremely washed up. I can't imagine them getting more than MLE, but who knows? Haywood, along with Miller will likely get 7-9 per, but if the chips fall right he could drop to full MLE.

I think the choice here is obvious. Louis! With Korver probably gone, the ladies will get something to look at. But seriously he is a very good defensive player who busts his butt out there and should come pretty cheap. Also I believe we were his first NBA team so its time to come home

Shaq would kill for a 2-3 year mid level deal right now. The other O'Neal would not only kill for a mid but probably also make the funeral arrangements as well.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

IF shaq would take a 1 year deal, Id give him one, anything longer than that no way.

Darco Millicic, Channing Frye

T-Mac

Could Tracy McGrady do a job for a year or two at an affordable salary?

 

[The Ghost of Blue Edwards]

Milicic is gone already. Frye would sort of be like going through the roller coaster of Okur all over again. I can't take any more 3pt shooting big men.

 

[The Ghost of Blue Edwards]

I would consider T-Mac if all the big men and shooters were gone.

This is the top 10 unrestricted mid-level free agents that we won't likely even pursue signing.

 

[mellow]

Milicic is gone already.

I just saw that, 4 years 20 million 4th year only partially gaurenteed. Very managelbel contract, and a missed opportunity.

Next plan: Accept the enivitable Boozer departure, and send AK to Minnesota for Jefferson and Milicic.
