    Let's see what DC brings to the table. He's built like like a freaking tank and supposedly has mad hops. Maybe we can get a Josh Smith light (dreaming I know)?

    I've been OK with the 3-guard lineup, but, DANG I feel for Brandon after reading that!

    Roy playing SFs night after night is not good for the long run. I hope Nate stops this lineup soon.

    If we run a 3 guard lineup at least play your 3 best guards! Miller, Roy and Rudy

    That removes whatever leverage he has when it comes to trade talk.

    By saying that we are fine going forward with our depth - he does not seem to be desperate for a trade.

    Really? Hmm...I don't think it does. I know that GMs usually don't get into specifics, but I've seen many be publicly frank when it comes to stating their immediate realistic desires.

    Yeah, I agree. I'm not a fan of moving our best player out of position, for the expense of putting Blakey on the floor more. Hopefully he'll be back at SG soon. The guy lost 10 something pounds in the offseason to be lighter and quicker against SGs, and now, he could probably use the extra weight to bang around.

    Agreed. If not, start Martell. I know he's kind of stunk lately, but I thought he played better when he was starting.

    Webster actually did something when starting. He's doing absolutely nothing off the bench.

    He's always been that way; that's why he and Outlaw were such an interesting pair. Outlaw can't start, and Webster has to start.

    How does not seeming desperate for a trade remove his leverage?

    If he had said, "Damn it, we're screwed if we don't make a move!", would that increase his leverage in a trade?

    I think you misunderstood what Andalusian was saying. You and he are on the same page.

    when roy gets hurt... our season will be over. its coming next because our scumbg gm is afraid to trade his over rated roster.

    just a matter of time till roy is hurt. wasnt the plan .. to keep roy fresh and healthy for april? seems like we are just working him into the ground now. guess who played the most minutes on road trip?

    complaining about the same thing night after night (especially when the club is winning) is not good for the reader in the short or long run. I hope this stops soon.
    not enough

    complaining that we dont have a legit SF is annoying?

    sorry that our best player is gonna get hurt cause of it. instead lest talk about how we really shoed the twolves and grizz who the better team was. man, i was so pumped after those wins!

    how did the hawks game turn out? all that scoring from our SF really payed off! wait it turned out the same as it did vs the hawks in portland... and denver. we lost cause we couldnt score.

    but man... im glad we beat those hornets and bobcats!
