    So... we've an open spot... most likely, K. Perkins will b bought out; I think we can use his experience/grittiness. However, my first choice for the last spot, would b JaVale McGee (provided Phi. buys him out, I'm thinking/hoping this is the way they go w/ their glut of you bigs ;) if he's available.

    Perk is headed to Cavs or Clipps. And he's just awful anyway.

    If JaVale is bought out, that would be huge. I'm expecting Gary Neil or Chase Buddinger to be targets if they are bought out.

    Barton and Trob would be the two players I would pick to go to a state with legal marijuana.

    So we could pick up TRob after Denver buys him out?

    I think Neil choose Afflalo over Chandler for insurance in case Wes bolts. I doubt we resign both players.

    I'm ok w/ Perk filling in behind Meyers (I'm not a huge fan of Perk but to get guys rest/act as filler-material, I'm on board ;)

    Atl. & other teams r ahead of us for Neil (I don't think we could get him, though I don't mind if he comes here but I think more pressing for our team needs is to get another big; they say u can't have too many bigs!;p Chase... I'd take him or leave him, I think we need another fodder big more though ;)

    Chandler's asking price was too rich. They seem to have him in the plans for next season with Lawson and Manimal. We can pick him up for cheap next season when the Nuggets end up firing Brian Shaw and doing their next fire sale.

    I think now with Afflalo, we'll be able to keep Wes with the starting roster and rest him when the second unit comes in which will keep him fresh. It's a great day to be a Blazer! We just got a lot deeper on the bench
