    When you got Leonard Harkless making 11 million next year then I can't see Aminu at least asking that type of money. That why I see him moving on to sign with another team due to our salary structure for this team. Yes olshey can sign him with any amount of money because we got the right to do so but I don't see it right now. The only way I see it is that Aminu sign a back loaded contract with is 1st year starting around 8-9 million and ending around 11 million.

    @Dan Marang had us possibly not winning another game this season last night on Outsiders.
    There was a thread about that show on here somewhere. I read it and realized i had not watched more than maybe 10 mins of that show all season. So i watched another 10 mins and that is what i was listening to.

    You can safely bet i probably will not spend another 10 mins watching that show this season.

    Here is an interesting fact.

    No team in the Western Conference will win 60 games this season. 55-56 wins will be tops the way it looks. Who would have thought that at the beginning this year.

    Damn, San Antonio is #7 but has the 2nd best home record. 14-24 on the road... I know it's pops and all, but I'd take my chances on that.

    Not afraid of Pops this year. You have to have weapons to win. Pops knows how to use them but doesn't have the arsenal this year.

    Gotta control Conley. He always goes off against us.

    It's true. Head-to-head, Conley owns Dame.

    8 'Questionables' for Memphis? Who is left to play? Some of those guys will have to suit up even if they don't play.

    Zach's DNP-CDs have made it so he just always wins. He's 18-5 in the last 23 games that he's played in. Here's his 14-2 stretch since the Warrior game. There some causation here?

    Conley will play. He played Saturday and went for 33 points.
    He will have 3 1/2 days to rest his "sore" ankle and be ready to torment us as usual.

    Very low likelihood of us matching up vs SA or OKC. They aren't climbing out of 7 and we have a really low probability of getting to #2. Look to Utah or Clips.

    Some of the same things happened with Zach last year. Once he got in the rotation there were random games where he didn't play because Stotts matched small lineups (a few of them he got in the game in garbage time so it might not be full DNP-CDs). I'm still puzzled as to why there were huge stretches with Collins and Nurk playing together earlier in the season and why Collins hasn't gotten more consistent minutes.

    The worst one this year was the game after he had 12 and 8 against NO, he didn't play at all against SA.

    Terry has trust issues. But Zach actually played over 25 mpg with only 2 fouls last night. Seems to finally get his head around not fouling. He played a massive role in shutting down Towns last night.

    Well those are the two I wanted to play with Nurk. Now which one? Both are hot but I would assume we want to stay away from Gobert so Dame can attack the basket.

    Ya Harrell is gonna destroy our guys on the boards, but they have no rim protectors. Going against Gobert would force us to play Meyers-- I want no part of that. And our wing defenders can mostly handle Gallo/Lou. Clips are the matchup we want.
