Who (or what) should we sign for our 13th player?


With all the action that's taken place off the court (and in the courts?) over the last month or so I thought it might be a nice change of pace to start the talk back up about on the court action. It's not exactly the most exciting time of the year for NBA fans; meaning I'm bored and can't wait till training camp opens! Anyway, back to my question: Who or what do we sign as the 13th player?

I guess the break down about "what" is the position that we need some more support. I'm going to suggest that we are pretty OK as far as Shooting Guard and Power Forward goes. So I'll leave them alone. But feel free to disagree. Remember, we are only talking about a player who is going to be 3rd string at best. So let's look at the other 3 spots:

Point Guard: CP3; Farmar; Crawford/Redick in a pinch.

This is probably where my greatest concern is with the injury history of both CP3 and Farmar. After looking at HoopsHype free agency, Ramon Sessions and Jordan Crawford are the best 2 available. Sessions would definitely be my choice here but would he be willing to latch on to a contender as 3rd string for minimum wage?

Small Forward: Matt Barnes; Jared Dudley; Reggie Bullock

Let's assume that Reggie might get some more time this year and Doc isn't going to play rookies anyway. Michael Beasley is about the only FA available who might be worth a shot at? Good chance he'll take minimum wage and seemed to be somewhat productive in Miami when he played.

Centre: DJ; Spencer Hawes; BigBaby?

Probably our most interesting position as we really only have the 1 true Centre in DJ. Hawes is a very good Stretch 5 and will allow BG32 to work the post. But do we need a defensive minded big to help out as well? Several names have been thrown out there but nothing has come of it. Okafor, Blatche, Oden are a few but would they play for minimum or are they worth the risk health wise?

SO Clippers Nation share your thoughts on what and who we should sign before the season starts!!
