Here are 6 players unrestricted/restricted free agents that I would like to see Joe D go after (with commentary):

Ramon Sessions, 6'4" PG, played in 79 games this season and averaged 12.4 ppg with 5.7 dimes. He is a slashing point guard who gets into the lane at will finishing with a nice array of floaters and pull up jumpers. In his 1st full season in the L, he did an solid job running the point for the Bucks and they would love to keep him but can't justify going over the salary cap to resign restricted free agents, when you take into account their horrid record. They are already looking at players in this years draft to replace him. (Jrue Holiday, Eric Maynor and Jonny Flynn are possibilties).

Grant Hill, 6'8" SF, 12ppg, 4.9 boards and 2.3 dimes per. We all know who he is and what he does. But he can bring a calming influence to this club in limited minutes. Rip and Tay don't do that and may not be here.

David Lee, 6'9" PF, played for the Knicks last season and averaged a double double with 16ppg and 11.7 boards. The Pistons will show interest in Lee and the word is the Knicks are looking to unload him in a sign and trade for expiring contracts and a first rounder, or as a package in an attempt to unload Eddy Curry. Stay tuned.

Players on the radar if they opt out.

Jamal Crawford, 6'5", 19.4 ppg and 4.4 dimes. Crawford is more of a combo guard, a scoring threat from anywhere on the court, but defends like a matador, can you say defensive liability? Not my first choice but servicable, off the bench.

Mehmet Okur, 6'11" C, averaged 17 ppg with 7.7 boards per. He is who we thought he was and we let him off the hook!

Hedo Turkoglu, 6'8" SF averaged 16.8 ppg, 5.3 boards and 4.9 dimes. This is the guy that makes Orlando go. He says he's opting out and if I were Orlando mgmt, I wouldn't let this guy walk for anything in the world but, you never know.
