    Nice work Rasta!

    Not only did we get some of the best players available, but based on that stat they should fit really well with our offense.

    I would be down right giddy if that happened. And it's actually possible.

    I know Wright is weak as fuck, but the dude can play both PF/C in stints. He's a rim protector as well. (crossing my fingers)

    I would rather play Robinson and Leonard, honestly. Bringing in Wright will eat up minutes that should go into developing those two guys.

    I think you bring in Wright only for insurance...

    Does Wright want to be insurance? I'd imagine he probably wants to play.

    If it was just Freeland backing up Aldridge, I would be all over signing Brandon Wright, but I really like Robinson. I think he has great potential.

    I disagree. I think you get players who can fill a role. Lopez is the starting center, who can be effective on both ends of the floor. Leonard is the backup C with the offensive game, Wright would be the backup C who can protect the rim. If either one wants more minutes, they have to earn more minutes by developing a more well-rounded game.

    Nobody is entitled to anything, even talented young prospects.

    Timofey Mozgov is still unsigned. Problem is he is a restricted free agent and I have to believe that DEN would match the 2.5 MIL offer that we could give.

    True, but I wonder if Wright would want to come here to be 3rd string, MAYBE 2nd, over a place where he's more likely to get minutes.
