NBA Free Agents 2011: Samuel Dalembert and Big Men Your Team Needs

The NBA Free agency pool is getting thinner by the day and time is starting to run out before the regular season starts in five days.

While games are going to start coming fast, teams need to add their players now so they are acclimated to the system by the time the first week or two is over.

All of the following big men should be signed by Friday of this week and would look good on almost any team in the NBA.

Samuel Dalembert—While Dalembert should not be a starter in the NBA, he is the kind of defensive presence off the bench that can hold down the low post for stretches.

A team with a big center that is looking for a way to get their man more rest may look to Dalembert as a bench solution.

While sitting on the bench may make Dalembert happy, signing with a losing team as a starting center will get him more money. I still think he stays in Sacramento, but every team develops needs so anything can happen.

Kris Humphries—The New Jersey Nets have not re-signed their big man Kris Humphries yet because they are still trying to swing a deal for Dwight Howard.

The team will have no need for Humphries with Howard patrolling the paint. While a sign-and-trade wouldn’t work, the Magic could consider Humphries as a solution to the Howard-less low-post issue.

Humphries has become a joke because of his marriage to Kim Kardashian, but the kid can actually play a solid low-post game.

Erick Dampier—If Dampier even comes back to the NBA this season, he will have to sign with a bottom third team or maybe even sneak onto the roster of a team possibly in playoff contention.

As bad as Dampier is on the offensive end of the court, he can still be a solid defender. With limited minutes, Dampier can be a nice bench player on a team trying to make a run.

I imagine a team like Sacramento or Memphis could use Dampier in the same way the Philadelphia 76ers have used Tony Battie over the last season.
