Default RE: Free Agent Big Men

Let's break these down into categories:

<u>Older than dirt, and trying to draw Social Security (in other words-- my age)</u>
Kevin Willis
Dikembe Mutombo
Dale Davis
Elden Campbell
Cliff Robinson has a team option. I could see the Nets letting him go.
Alonzo Mourning

<u>Restricted - no guarantees, if they have any upside at all.... see Redd and Lewis </u>
Chandler and Curry are both restricted
Diop is restricted
Gadzuric and Pachulia are both restricted
Eddie Griffin is restricted
Samuel Dalembert is restricted
Reggie Evans looks to be restricted
Kwame Brown is restricted

<u>Players to look at -- but, which would be an upgrade?</u>
Zydrunas Ilgauskus
Robert Traylor has a team option
Mikki Moore
Zeljko Rebraca
Stromile Swift
Ryan Humphrey (could be a Najera type)
Mark Madsen
Chris Andersen - says he's opting out
Bruno Sundov
Andrew DeClerque
Bo Outlaw
Steven Hunter has a player option he'll certainly take
Darius Songaila has a player option. I think he could get more elsewhere.
Sean Marks and Tony Massenburg
Jerome James
Vitaly Potopenko
Mike Ruffin


I don't think the Mavs get from category 1 or 2, which leaves category 3. Is their anyone who would be a big upgrade on this list? Come on Benga and PPod...........
