    Have u guys seen the majority of benches in the league? I went through every team and wow there are some ugly ones out there. Is the talent in the league at a low point or something? Cavs looks worse then us and that's saying something!

    preseason. they are playing guys who are traditionally scrubs to see if they will fit on the roster. so it appears as if there is talent dilution.

    No I went through projected bench and depth charts! Sac amazingly has a fairly deep bench. Spurs bench looks best but that's like saying its rainy in Portland.

    sactown's bench looks deep, until you realize their backup center is 6 foot 6

    I think the jury is still out on our bench. We've not seen what Freeland, Claver and Leonard can do, but they seem to be pretty talented. Morrison can also be a scoring threat off the bench.

    Maybe we'll be nicknaming our bench "the high fivin' white guys":lol:

    Why would we acquire a player just to waive him?

    Yeah, we need to trade for Steve Blake. Then Ronnie Price can stand up on the bench and say, "Hey, can I be a high five'n white guy too? Then Blake, Freeland, Leonard, Claver and Morrison will look at each other and go, "Naaaaaa!!!!"

    It's not so much that our bench sucks as it is our starters suck as well.

    This is going to be a dreadful season.
