    Our team now consists of a bunch of dunkers/runners. Frazier is our best running PG. He may get some burn.

    seems like the retool of the roster so far has shown we want mobile athletic bigs - Hibbert is a plodder and not all that athletic, why add him for 16 mil when it will take away minutes from the plenty of young bigs we already have? and he's a UFA next yr, since Hibbert is no "dofference maker" I'd rather give minutes to develop guys we have under contract and fit our "new stylr" of play

    Horrible as it might sound I think that's for the best given the circumstances. The trick is to not suck for too long, so that A) your fans don't lose interest and B) you don't develop a loser's mentality on the team.

    Gee makes sense. A deal for Derozan would be prefect, and amazing. Kanter doesn't seem to make sense. Gerald Green would be interesting at least.

    There are 11 players on the roster if you guarantee Crabbe and Frazier and you have to have 13. Who should we add? Perry Jones III is available (OKC has a 16 players on their roster) and Kendall Marshall and Wesley Johnson are FA's. All 3 of those players are a position of need at SF and PG. Jones is a multi-talented guy and Marshall is a bigger PG who can really pass and shoots way better than we all thought he would.

    CJ plays the 1 and 2 so you can either get a backup PG or backup SG. Wesley Johnson isn't a bad idea.

    With Ibaka and (soon to be?) Kanter locked up to max deal I'd try like hell for Steven Adams.

    Im not sure I believe that Kanter is getting the max. Only one person has reported on it as far as I know.

    Everybody not still on their rookie contract needs to be on the trade market for draft picks.

    Not a lot out there.

    Derozen is a waste of time.

    If you absorb Waiters maybe you can pry away Steve 'The Enforcer' Adams.
