    I'd like to see offensive punch at the wing. Matthews is willing to be a sub. Batum would not be happy. So the 2 is where I'd spend the limited money.

    Trouble is, we got McCollum, Barton, Crabbe...more dinky half-talents than you can shake a stick at. Olshey keeps making half-assed efforts at improving the 2. If he cleared the debris he'd have room for one solid star there.

    Barton and Crabbe were 2nd round picks. On a 14-15 man roster they really are not an issue. 2nd rounders can easily be released.

    We will see about McCollum. I don't remember your track record as being stellar when it comes to talent evaluation. I think his odds just improved.

    Nobody ever lists Portland. It's really fucking annoying.

    I'm pretty sure that is wrong and that 42N8BOUNCE is correct.

    Resign Mo Williams using his "Non Bird Rights"
    Sign Vince Carter or Sabo Sefalosha with the BAE
    Channing Fry or Spencer Hawes with the MLE

    Rain threes!

    Well, the way I understand it; Mo can be signed and then they will still have the two exceptions to work with. If they don't sign Mo, they will have to find a replacement with one of those exceptions. so it's kind of a tough decision.

    I think they might if the number is reasonable. He's not THAT old. If it was something like $9 million over three years, I think that could be worth bringing Mo back.

    Interesting that Mo is younger than Nelson. I have no problem with giving him 10M over 3.

    I can not find one piece of NBA off season banter including Portland. What is going on?

    For the veteran minimum I'd pass.

    He was beyond horrific on Indy. Along with Bynum turned the team into a selfish collection of infighting assholes. He doesn't play defense and likes to dominate the ball. I'd expect him to be on the Knicks if Dolan can get his way.
