The hawks could use this kid and he can take over the starting SF spot.

Best or Blaylock at backup PG isint a bad idea either.

[jaywalker72]

Because Leon is under contract for this season, at the minimum and non-guaranteed.

Just curious if this is ESPN blowing it again...

...something we can't give him. I've heard him mentioned with Seattle, Houston, and Washington.

But, other than that, there is nothing eye-catching. I guess it's a good off-season to have nothing to do. Weak draft (according to some) and weak FA class.

[Admin]

its via SNT and I dont see Seattle letting him get away anyways. Personally I would rather put all of our eggs into acquiring Battier. There isnt a SF anyplace else in this league that we could possibly get that would fit us better.

I'm not sure that Best is the right option (avoided the pun there). He seems to be somewhat of a cancer. I'm not saying that Isiah was right in his use of him, but...
