I was just thinking about this the other day but, remember when he was considering us last year? His reasoning was he wanted to end his career in his hometown, spend time with his family, and be able to have his kids see him play. Well, I can't remember where I heard it, but a couple of days ago they said he may return to Washington and play with the Wizards due to some interest on their behalf and he has some good ties within the organization there.

I assumed he was gong to retire after this season but, apparently he isn't. So, do you think we could OR should pursue him for this season to backup the 4 and the 3? I don't know if it's worth discussing though because I get the feeling that our FO feels like they gave him a chance last offseason and he didn't take it, so they're not going down that road again. I just think if its possible that it would be an ideal move for depth/chemistry.

Then again, according to this link, we have expressed interest in signing him again this offseason, although I don't recall hearing this anywhere else:

The latest Spurs free agency rumors comes from Yahoo! Sports as they report San Antonio is interested in forwards Antawn Jamison and Dorell Wright.

Los Angeles Lakers free-agent forward Antawn Jamison had a cast removed from his surgically repaired left wrist Tuesday and is expected to be cleared to play in a month, a source said.

Jamison has received inquiries so far from Dallas, Charlotte, Atlanta, Washington, Brooklyn, San Antonio, Memphis and Utah, the source said.

What do you all think?

Agreed 8789. I'm guessing he'd be around the 3 mil range or lower... Jmo though.

Also, to everyone, I want to apologize in both retroactively and in advance for any typos on my behalf. I've been posting from my phone mostly over the last few weeks and auto-correct is a mf'er.

He is a good enough scorer to play small forward and is an upgrade over Jeff Taylor, so there's that.

Taylor could use the PT and is possibly a long term answer. We won't benefit anything from this. It's not like we're trying to win now anyway. AJ needs to go to a veteran team like the Spurs, not here.

You definitely don't want Antawn Jamison at the SF spot. Trust me, I watched damn near every Lakers game last season and he is simply HORRIBLE at the 3. I mean defensively he is well below average at the 4, but at the 3 he is just completely horrible. However, he can help a team offensively, because he can get hot and hit a few threes here and there and is also exceptional at cutting to the basket.

I'm a UNC fan, so I'm very capable of what Jamison can and can't do...

Also, not to be a dick but Mike D'Antoni's teams have never been known for this thing called defense.

 

Jamison has never been anything more than an average defensive player at his very best, but he's awful now. It isn't just D'Antoni either lol. He's been awful on defense by every measure available for several years now. He would give a nice spark on offense though.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
