    I think a little worse...as someone who wasn't fond of Steve Blake while he was here, I now realize how important he was. He really is/was a near perfect back-court match with Roy. Having said that, if the three guard back up PG plan works, then maybe losing Blake isn't a big deal. I love Camby, and I am very glad he's here, even though we lost Steve and TrOut.

    I'm still drinking the kool-aid, so once Greg comes back and plays his 50+ games, our team will look much better. I still think we're thin at SF, as I worry Nic can make it through an entire year unijured. Is Wes big enough to play full time at SF, if needed? I really don't think Cho would have signed off on the Babbitt trade, but what do I know...

    We really need a backup PF. If Greg and Joel can fill 48 center minutes, then Camby should fill in nicely behind LA. All in all, I think we're a little worse, but the return of our oft injured centers will help a lot.

    Rip City!

    But damn, he really brought it last year...I wouldn't have been sad to see him take a roster spot this year.

    Sure, the Blake of two years ago was a great match with Roy, but last season he was beyond terrible. He couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

    Just a few years ago, Oberto had a game in which he shot 11 for 11 from the field.

    Since when are you aware of what I'm doing? I have a movie offer and an offer to guest on a TV show in Australia. In a couple days, Im meeting with the producers of a new TV show for TNT. Wish me luck.

    Better! Less clutter, more defined roles for guys night in and night out. I like JB gone so that wes and rudy can get more mins.

    I think we got substantially better with the addition of Camby in terms of wins added, and I'm fairly certain that Wes is a much better player than Webster but 3 rookies added to the roster? That last bit makes me itch a little bit. I'm calling it a push for now.

    I get what you're saying, Nik, but it's not like the Blake/Bayless minutes are going to Armon and Elliot. They're going to Roy, Rudy, Miller and Wes. I see that as a good thing. :dunno:

    I consider Camby and Mathews more valuable to the team than any of the guys we lost so I think our core will be better. I think the depth is a problem because of youth and two guys still not playing. But that should improve as the centers heal and the young guys get more experience.
