    Roy is back and Roy will play as long as he isn't hurting

    I am pretty sure that has been done before where a player is traded and one of the conditions is the owner of the old team actually pays part of the check, as the Blazers did this before if I remember right, being the one's who paid the bill for the player who was traded. But I believe it still has to pass salary cap rules, which doesn't really make sense here.

    Ford might be bought out by Indiana and sign with us. He's better than Patty I guess.

    FWIW: Quick just said on The Game that word is TJ Ford is going to be signed ASAP. Maybe that's why Marks may be getting released.

    All that's remaining is getting Joel back.

    Then we'll have a sick depth chart.

    Dre//Ford // Patty// Armon
    Wes//Roy
    Crash//Nic//Babbitt
    Aldridge//Crash
    Camby// Joel

    We need one more big man, but that's looking nasty, with crazy versatility.

    You really think he's going to be pain free from now until the end of the season? I'd be shocked if he breaks a 15 minute average from now until April 15th.

    I'm all for getting TJ here. I just don't think we need Patty AND Armon here now. But that'll be addressed later I guess.

    What about Rudy? He played pretty well last night, IMO, in the Roy/Rudy back court.

    I'd waive one of them and try to sign Troy Murphy. No need for that many PGs. What are we, the Timberwolves?

    Ford has been hurt so much throughout his career I thought he was much older than 27. Hot diggity dog! This is the Few-Tcha!
