yeah, there's a plan but depending on how many people support the team and the viability of keeping it in NO, you never know what will happen here. Never underestimate the incompetence of George Shinn.
They are all quality "NBA" players. I wouldn't mind having most of them on our team. Battier would be a perfect SF for us. Scola would be better than Howard off the bench (and I love Howard). I'd take Brooks over Miller in a heartbeat. Landry would be great on our team. Budinger is a great role player. Ariza would bring championship experience to the fold. They're a good team. We might face them in the playoffs again. And we'd better be ready.
Just think of Adelman as the engine, and Yao as the hood ornament. Yao is there as eye candy to decoy the opponent.
