    Good ideas. If we can get Zaza, it will be even better.

    Leandro Barbosa • SG • Golden State Warriors
    Jamal Crawford • SG • Los Angeles Clippers
    Festus Ezeli • C • Golden State Warriors
    Courtney Lee • SG • Charlotte Hornets
    David Lee • PF/C • Dallas Mavericks
    Kevin Martin • SG • San Antonio Spurs

    For decent contracts

    Team has no above average perimeter defender that should be the number one option

    Barbosa has to happen. I like the Crawford idea on a 1-year. I don't think K-Mart would ever come back to Houston.

    Worth a look? Not sure if GSW pursuing this RFA is serious...

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Dedmon (7’0”, 245, 8/12/89) played in 58 games (20 starts) with Orlando last season, averaging 4.4 ppg. and 3.9 rpg. in 12.2 minpg., while shooting .559 (99-177) from the floor. He led (or tied) the team in scoring once and in rebounding four times. Dedmon scored in double figures eight times, including a career-high 18 points (also had season-high 13 rebounds) on Mar. 26 vs. Chicago.

    It's amazing how terrible Roy Hibbert is now.

    2 time all-star... All he has to do is try and he can get 10 boards and 3 blocks.

    I'd snatch NeNe up so quick. That's a no brainer

    Id look at Zaza as CC's backup. 1 year deal should be in our price range.

    We want someone who can do the same things.
    If we can somehow get Ezeli cheap, he would be perfect - but isn't he RFA? So seems like no chance to get him cheap...

    I don't know who else out there fits the bill, so we might need to look to a trade to find the backup C - play Harrell and Onuaku until we can get someone?

    We can't get Ezeli cheap... Zaza is a decent defender and rebounder. Not sure what more you want out of a back up C...?

    Agreed. Outside of Ariza and Beverley, nobody else on the team could be called a good defender.

    Best case scenario theres some internal improvement. Maybe Dekker or McDaniels flip a switch, but i'm not holding my breath.

    I like Lance Thomas. Knicks fans love this guy for his effort and defense. Came out undrafted and turned 10-day contracts into a career, so you know he's a hard worker. Not a total zero on offense either. Can step out to midrange and 3 on occasion. Primarily a SF but gets minutes at PF, which could be good given our lack of defense at that position.

    As big off a Dbag Matt Barnes can be, he would be ours lol and a good fit.

    Has Dennis Schroeder been signed? Seems like a good fit.

    McDaniels could be a good defender. He has shown promise already - he's just super limited offensively. He's like a more athletic Corey brewer on the offensive end though.
