If we trade Jamison for expirings I think we should go after Milsap, Powe or Lee in the off season. I didn't even realize that Milsap and Powe are unrestricted this year. I know Blatche is long but I can't stand his play on the court. Id rather take a Powe or Milsap who are athletic, strong and hold their positions under the basket and who know their role, I think if you gave either of those guys a consistent 30mpg they could rack up about 12-15ppg, and 9-11rpg and add some toughness. If EG drafts another tall wiry guy who can get beat up in the post buy a Chris Wilcox type player, I'm gonna scream, I think that's a huge part of the problem with this team, no toughness and you have reserves who think they're stars. However, if we do have a chance at Griffin, I think that he'd be a pretty good player, prob. not a 20-10 guy but at least a solid 15-8 guy. I don't think his rebounding is going to translate 100% to the NBA(kind of like Beasley but a little better, I don't think he's actually 6'10), and at times his motor is a bit weak. I know guys like Milsap and Powe are a bit undersized at 6'8, but I would take the strength and aggressiveness that they play with along with the rebounding and their ability to know their role over Blatche any day. I doubt we will see many 20ft jumpers coming from either of those guys out of the rhythm of the offense very often.
