    Fez, Henderson is 6'4 on a good day, there is no way he is going to be the backup 3. He was brought in to split time at the 2 with CJ. I anticipate McCollum getting about 20mpg at SG and 10-12 at PG this year.

    Did paul Allen fly out to meet with hibbert couple years ago? Or hawes last year? I don't remember reading about it. This seems like Portland bringing their tanks.

    Crabbe?
    I'm guessing they'll move McCollum to starting SG, and Henderson will be backup.

    Does Paul Allen attending a free agency pitch help? I'm not so sure...

    Olshey does the talking. Allen brings the money bags.

    With our cap space, we have to be pursuing two max-type players. I think if Olshey gets a Monroe-type, he turns Kaman into a backcourt player and hope LA signs. If he doesn't, he turns Kaman into a front court player (Hibbert) and hope LA signs.

    Meaning, we're better off if Olshey can sign a big and then deal Kaman.

    Monroe is a center, if we lock him up forget about hibbert. LA is option A and after that I have no idea. Maybe kevin love although defensively I'm not interested in watching him and Monroe paired up. I would go after Millsap instead.

    Edit: read your post wrong about hibbert. Goddammit it's early and I need a burrito

    In no way is Monroe a PF.

    Strictly a center.

    I think Neil then goes after a SG.

    Looks like our starting 5 will be Dame, Henderson, Aminu, Aldridge and Monroe

    he did have his best yr as a PF last yr, not a bad idea having a guy that can play both if "needed", I think we are building roster flexibility here and I like that
