RE: Get Kwame Brown
Full MLE to Kwame, no doubt, but I do doubt he would take it here to be a backup (tho he could easily beat out Dampier in time).
I would do it in a heartbeat, his talent is not to be ingored and the JO factor, ie a change of scenery, is too much to ignore. I know we all love DJ and Pavel, I am a big old DJ fan, but adding Kwame Brown can't hurt. If he stinks it up, we trade him, someone will always bite on Kwame. If he is just the 11 and 7 guy, he is still an asset. He put up 14 and 9 in the one full playoff game he played this year, off of the bench. If he busts out you have yourself your starting C for the next decade.
3 years full MLE, get his rights. You win with #1 picks, guys like Shaq and Duncan, so when you have a shot to add one, you go for it. Could be Kandi to Minny, sure, and if so he is a backup. But you can not ignore the JO factor.
