  1. I want Trout back! Remember that Memphis game winner? The three point shooting?

    Apparently Dante didn't get the qualifying offer in Charlotte. Do we want him back?

    I like Dante and would want him back, but not sure about this year. I think we need someone bigger.

    I said none, but I could handle Dante. But I would rather try and find a bigger body that could fill in spot minutes at PF and C

    Dante wouldn't be a bad pickup. I don't really want Travis on this team again, especially with Batum and Crawford on the second unit. We need big bodies.

    What about bringing Freeland over? Is that something worth considering?

    Joel.

    Kurt can be our backup 4/5.

    We're too close to the Luxury Tax level (depending on your guess of the adjusted amount Oden signed for) and we won't go over it to sign any of these.
    I'd say Dante if I had to choose one. He won't blow up his knee.

    Depending on his health I like Joel.

    But I would rather see what Chris Johnson will bring. He brought a real shot-blocking presence against Dallas.

    Holy crap, what an insult to Charlotte. Our GM makes a move for Wallace, telling them the real talent coming back in the deal was Cunningham. Fast forward and their GM was our GM and he then says Dante isn't good enough to make an offer for.

    Thanks, Rich. I wish PA wouldn't have fired you.

    Dante for sure. We would need him to play just about 10 mpg.

    Btw, he got the QO offer but didn't sign it. He's talking to a few teams.

    Charlotte, like Portland, is another team that is in need of some good luck.

    Players not wanting to play there goes back to the Roy draft. Both LaMarcus and Roy turned them down for a pre-draft workout.

    Fez has it correct. Dante did not accept the QO, but he did receive it. We couldn't offer Dante much, and since Charlotte did offer the QO, he is a RFA, so it'd likely be matched.

    My understanding is that Charlotte is taking a "Go see what you can approach," and unless it's ridiculous, Charlotte will match.
