    Well I think this means they intend to waive Pendy and fill that slot with a live body. I hate to see Jeff get waived, but they need some insurance.

    If he brings a Del Taco franchise to a location near the RG, sign him up now!

    I'm cool with signing Mbenga. Dude is big and strong. And raw. He reminds me of a cross between Daryl Dawkins and Travis Outlaw's much bigger brother. I'd rather put Mbenga on the end of our bench than Steven Hill.

    If we want a lousy version of Shaq, why not get Shortziousnous Svzergneck of Greece? That might be one letter off, but you know the guy. He played in the Clippers Summer League. He's famous as Europe's Shaq.

    I wonder if they're looking overseas at all. Richard Hendrix is a guy I liked for awhile, and seems to be doing pretty well in Europe. He's a 6'8 PF/C who's actually a better defender at C than PF, but loves playing down low and rebounding like a beast.
