I really wanted to get PT's opinions on a few free agents.

1) Any chance the pels go after Martell Webster?

2) How good is Mario Chalmers and what will he sign for in free agency? Would you want him?

3) How good are OJ Mayo, Darren Collison and DJ Augustine and would you want to sign any of them?


TIA

1. Always a chance for anything. I couldn't put a number on it until after the draft. He wouldn't be a big piece and I guess I'd take him as depth, but nothing makes me want him

2. Product of his team. He'll sign for way too much. I don't want him for what he will sign for.

3. They are good. Not outstanding though. I wouldn't mind Collison actually. I don't know much about DJ Augustine so I can't comment on him.

1. I could see us making a run at him. I wouldn't mind him becoming a Pelican.

2. He's not really the type of PG we want/need. I think he resigns with Miami.

3. If Gordon is gone, I would like to sign Mayo. I'm not very high on Collison. It would be nice to bring Augustine back home, but I don't see it happening.

1) webster="Good three-point shooter... Not bad rebounder... Relies too much on his outside shot... Doesn't create for others... Low basketball IQ".
2) chalmers pretty much lost his minutes to cole in these playoffs. says a bit considering the competition was inferior!
3) roberts shoots and handles the ball as well as all three.

bottom line is i wouldn't want them as starters and they'll want too much $$ for reserves.

This doesn't quite go here, but I'm not starting a new thread for it...

What do you think about the idea of taking on Kendrick Perkins' contract for two years, along with a sweetener, in exchange for Lopez?


That's a net increase in about $3-4m in payroll per season just between those two switching places, let alone the inclusion of Jeremy Lamb, Perry Jones III, and/or the Toronto 1st (#12 overall).


Perkins is still a good defensive center but he's godawful on offense, so that take pressure off Davis on the defensive side but increase the pressure on everyone else on offense.


Neither PJ3 or Lamb has shown much at the NBA level yet, but it's hard getting minutes on a team like that.


That Toronto pick could potentially become Shabazz Muhammed or a Euro player like C Rudy Gobert or SF Dario Saric, depending on how things play out on draft night.



I'd normally be more wary about taking another team's trash, but if Monty's idea is to become a slow-paced team that plays good defense, then Perkins would be a decent fit for what he'd want to do and we'd get additional pieces to help make it work.
