    Neil shows how you build a team. Incrementally replace players with better ones.

    I really like this move. I expect Roberts will actually get minutes that nobody regrets. If one of Dame or CJ needs a night off, I can see Roberts getting 36 minutes and not killing our chances to win.

    I don't like his name. Too plain, he needs a nickname immediately. Maybe "Goo". Goo Roberts. Or, "Giggity Goo" Roberts.

    Roberts is 30 years old.

    His first season in the league, he was 27. I presume he played in Europe.

    Believe Roberts went un-drafted then spent a couple of seasons playing in Germany.

    Roberts has been on my watch list since he entered the NBA. He will never be an all-star, but he does have BB skills. His value to a team has been more than he has been paid.

    Glad we get to take a good look at him, and I believe he is an upgrade over Frazier.

    I'm worried this will kill chemistry. Plus he's too old.

    He definitely up grade now Stotts got to figure out does he mess with his rotation to include Roberts or does he stay with the same rotation and Roberts get buried on the bench.

    Explain how it will kill chemistry? Dame is the rock, Fraizer was just a buoy slapping against the rock.

    Our new THIRD string PG, Roberts is too old? He'll kill chemistry? Maybe Simmons is right - sounds very soccer-momesque.
