    One thing I'd like to see is the team make more of an effort to get plumlee involved offensively. I see no reason why he can't develop into a legit low post scorer. He has good feet, can jump, a strong lower base, and a pretty good hook shot. Also has the court vision to handle extra responsibility.

    Memphis has looked dead in the water before and bounced back. They have the talent, I see no reason why they won't again

    Let's bring in Derrick Rose to be the super sixth man. We'd have the best guard rotation in the league and Rose would be less likely to get hurt playing less on the bench.

    Size on the bench; we have a slightly undersized Davis, but Kaman has forgotten what to do with the round orange thingy, and our starting bigs foul quite a bit. I'd love one more BIG big.

    Exactly. That's why I don't understand the people that want us to tank for a 19 year old who plays a position we already have covered.

    I don't really know if I'd do that 6 games into the season with key players still under contract for lengthy periods of time.
    But it's clear Memphis needs to do something.

    Is he 7'0"? Wide/strong is awesome (Cliff looks like a frigging running back), but I want a legit seven footer.

    Huh, I had no idea. TBH, I didn't even know who Kaman was until he came here. And when I watched him play, I was not that impressed; though my father spoke highly of him (he's a life-long GS fan). So I guess that tells you what I know.

    Alright, if he's that important, keep him. I certainly won't object if he's coaching up our bigs. But Meyers needs to bulk up. I'm tired of guys like Randolf pushing him around. LMA gained 41 lbs of muscle just because of that. Leonard should take the hint.

    Kenny - "Is Portland where all the guys who are 6'7-6'8 should go to start their careers?"

    This win was pretty much the opposite of the UTH win.

    He's 6'9 but has a wingspan of 7'3 and the same standing reach as Drummond.
