    The way Certain players cashed out, I suspect a few will be leaving. Pretty sad really

    Freelands gone to Europe, Dorell Wright is gone because we won't want to resign him, Kaman, Lopez and Afflalo are probably gone.

    Nicolas Batum - This should be a no-brainer, Neil!

    Robin Lopez - talk about quitting on your team. He went into the playoffs as an absolute shell.

    Chris Kaman - A total waste of time. A total non-factor for 90% of the season.

    I bet Wright comes back. As I've said in the past he seems to be very well liked by all the players, and around the league by his former team mates. He wont get a huge contract, but I bet we offer him something.

    Plus I wouldn't be surprised if we drafted his (Wright's) brother. That would be really nice chemistry.

    I'd love Dwright back. I just don't see the team bringing him back. As Jabari young stated the other day on the pregame show, I think he ends up in Miami with his bro Dwade

    I want Freeland back. Could do worse for an end of the bench big. He might be tempted by other money though.

    I am really disappointed in RoLo . I thought the guy wanted to be here - and if nothing else he was a pro. His descent into "fuck you Portland" mode just shocks me.

    I'm also surprised and disappointed how badly the AA trade turned out.

    Afflalo - 0/0/0/0/0 and also finished the playoffs with a -0.3 PER.

    You hope he doesn't pick up his option.

    Just putting this out there. I hope the team picks up Joey Buckets Young as a undrafted free agent. Go Ducks!

    Wright can stay or go, you can never have enough cheap shooters off the bench.

    Maybe the easy fix is keeping everyone and replacing the coach.

    I don't think they will but just maybe it would be.

    Agreed except for Kaman, I thought he did far better than people thought. He had some really great games that saved us. He was just never intended to play heavy mins. He was also invaluable for Meyers during the season.

    I'd love to have Rolo as our back up center. If we can find a way to bring somebody like Hibbert in as our starter for less than a Max then I would be all for it.

    Not quite sure how you arrived to this Rolo revelation...care to give an example? and not recent play cause you could add several others on that list.

    Agreed, I think this was the plan in general. Rolo was just a stop gap solution.

    Kaman is trade bait.

    Wright can stay. He's one of the leaders and can contribute.

    Lopez can go, especially if Hibbert becomes available.

    Afflalo would be better with a training camp under his belt. He was doing well until Wes went down. If he opts in he can be our 7th man.

    Frazier over Blake please.

    And the obvious ones, bring back wes and LA
