    I think we've tried our luck with 6-foot PGs. No more undersized players. I like the Iggy idea that Rasta has. Someone who plays defense who can run the point.

    It costs us around 5 million in cash to bring on a minimum salary player when adding luxury tax. I don't think we make an addition until we are sure that player would be in the rotation above Simons. We can keep the roster spot open and sign cheap, 10 day contracts if needed.

    Pretty sure every team has to have at least 14 players on their roster. Portland is already down one. I’d be surprised if they didn’t have a full roster going into the season.

    I think the minimum is 13 per team but there has to be an 'average minimum' of 14 across the league.

    Teams can go below 14 but only for a certain amount of time, like a week or two.

    Can we sign Zaza? he is the Kawhi killa. I know Spurs will sign him, though.

    Lakers have a full roster, but they could cut someone. I call Clippers.

    Oops. Lakers do have a couple of spots available.
