    Next year....

    Reporter: "So Neil. Napier turned into a quality backup point guard. Ezil was the pickup of the offseason. Layman looks like a future starter. And Turner became more than we ever thought he could be. You definately are front runner for the Executive of the Year."

    Olshey: "You didn't see what happened last year, did you?"

    What else do we need? Shooting from the wing spots?

    I hope we can extend Mo and Meyers to longer term deals. Don't want to lose them if they take QOs next season.

    True, but if the knees weren't that bad, they would have done more than a 2 yr deal

    Between Plumlee, Turner, CJ, and Dame, you've got a lot of passing smarts that can be on the court at once.

    We already played harder than pretty much anybody, but now that we have as much depth as we do, there's no reason that we can't have guys leave it all out for every minute they play. We should be deadly on the break with the combination of shooting, athleticism, and depth along with the fact that we now have 3 ball handling playmakers at 3 different positions. I think we'd have a solid chance to beat even the Spurs in a playoff series just because we should be able to outrun them and outwork them.

    We still need an inside scoring punch, I think we are good on shooters.

    I still think we could see a trade. We've got a logjam

    My thoughts: Yippee! Great signing, great patience and good execution! I wasn't this hopeful over the first 2 days!!

    Roster: I think depth chart actually looks like this.....
    Damian / Turner
    CJ / Crabbe
    Turner / Harkless
    Aminu / Davis / Vonleh
    Plumlee / Ezeli / Leonard
    Connaughton, Layman, Montero, Alexander and Napier won't see much PT
    *Edit: Added Leonard

    Its a good lineup. Stronger than last season. Better balance.

    Also, we're starting to stock up on assets to be able to make trades from!! Boogie?
