Bonzi is the only guy on that list i think is worth pursuing. He'd be a great guy to have in the playoffs. I've always liked his game. He is a tenacious defender so he can guard kobe or LeBron. Also, he played in China for a couple of months so at least we'd know his game isnt too rusty.

I want Bonzi.  I think Smith is the slightly better performer but Mikki Moore is 7 ft and I think that negates what small advantage Smith has in school.  Bonzi plays 3 positions and can guard Kobe/Lebron some.

Oh god...I just had a legit flash of "ooooooooo Antoine Walker...wouldn't that be cool?"  It passed quickly, but it was there.

Isn't there a treatment for that now?

I'd like to see Smith, particularly with KG out and Wells so Pierce has a back-up (since Doc won't play my boy Walker).

Joe Smith, Bobby Jackson, Bonzi Wells, Mikki Moore, Starbury.

We really need to get Bonzi.  Pierce really needs a backup.  He was gassed in that game last night, that's why he was so terrible.

Say we get Bonzi, what do we do with the other spot.  Do we sign Joe Smith or Marbury?

The thing that we need the most is a legitament scorer off the bench. LA has Odom, Cleveland has Gibson/Sczcerbiak, Detroit has Hamilton, and San Antonio has Ginobli. This is why we need Starbury. We dont really have a big time scorer off the bench (no offense to Eddie)

Not sure if you're responding to me or not, but I want Bonzi as a backup for Pierce, not because he's a great offensive talent.  Pierce said he wants help to give him and Ray a rest.  It's obvious that he's getting burnt out, at least in last night's game.

You are right about PP needing a backup.  The reason I rank Bobby J over Bonzi is that I am sick of watching Eddie House bring the ball up the floor.  With Jackson at point, Doc will move Eddie over to SG on a more permanent basis.  But I do agree that Bonzi brings the defense, offense, and breather for Pierce that would be nice. 

I rank Joe Smith at the top of my list, though.  I really think the Cs are suffering with Powe and BBD -- don't get me wrong, I really like both guys, so it pains me to say it.  But I wouldn't be surprised if neither is back in the offseason.

I am not sure Bonzi Wells of today is at al similar to the original player, Bonzi Wells. He bounced around and was let go in severall towns. Not wanted Bonzi is a cancer in the locker room as well as a ball hog. I am not a fan of his at all.
Then again I could be wrong. I would puke if Anyoine Walker ever was resigned here. Ivote for Brown and Marbury. At least they can still play. Bonzi and all the others are dubious contributors. Maybe Bobby Jackson or Jerry Stackhouse who also is available.

I live in Houston now, and Bonzi to the Rockets in 2006 was a disaster.
He lived in Jeff Van Gundy's dog house, he would not play him.  At one point Van Gundy said he was not in game shape and would not play until he got him self in shape.  I haven't paid attention to his stats this year, but I am not sure he is the answer.
