    I assume so. I see Plumlee/Davis as our centers and Leonard/Vonleh as our power forwards, but they're all basically interchangeable.

    I would say that is very possible. Seems to me we are actually better suited to playing a lot of small-ball.

    Keep in mind that in Dallas Aminu sometimes swung over to guard PFs. You could run a "big" team (Plumlee and Leonard) and a "small" team with Davis at the 5 and Aminu at the 4. Maybe with Crabbe at the 3?

    How bout this:
    Blazers Get: Ben McLemore, Future 2nd (SAC)
    Clippers Get: Chris Kaman, Eric Moreland, Pat Connaughton
    Kings Get: Jamal Crawford

    Clips get the backup center they need in Kaman, who was an allstar there once. They also get more big man depth with Moreland.
    Kings get their 6th man in Crawford.

    Then Henderson, Crabbe, and SACs future 2nd for Ross and Caboclo

    McLemores your starting 2, Ross is your backup 3. Both are athletic, both can shoot. Getting both is unrealistic, bit those are the 2 guys I'd target

    When Parsons plays like a bitch Dallas will regret failing to re-sign Aminu.

    Pretty sad that Sacramento will be better than us.

    Yes. But there is a positive to this. You don't have to LIVE in Sacramento.

    I think he is up to 240 lbs now. I guess it will depend on the match up.

    As long as he's not Rick Mahorn fat, he'll be okay.

    When they already had the best center in the game and a legit 20ppg scorer, and then added one of the deepest free agent classes to go along with the best defensive big man that has entered the draft in years, it's honestly not that sad.

    I have a feeling sac will find themselves in another cluster fuck this season. I don't think Karl is the right coach for boogie. It's sad because if they look past the differences, they would be a terror in the west

    I could see us trading some young guys that pan out over the next season and our pick if it's not top 2, cuz i think Labissiere is gonna be better then LMA ever was. They could add lots of youth, Rondos on a one year deal, and Gay will be cheaper. So this is kind of a one year experiment for SAC, which I like.
    I also think that's why Olsheys adding more and more young guns like Harkless. More sweetener to trades if they play well.

    Damn. Lenoard doesn't get to keep the D in his name, but Lillard gets to keep his.

    Some kid should call him Amian Lillar at his camp at club sport and tell him it's cuz he plays no D. Let's see how that goes over.

    Wait. We signed Montero to a guaranteed contract? I thought he was just a Summer League invite?
