    He should just change his name to Greek freak because I will never remember how to spell his name.

    I'd rather have CJ to be honest. I really think CJ has potential to be the kind of guy to drop 50 for you some night.

    Goddamn that was a fun game to watch. I remember laughing and saying "Holy shit he's doing it!" over and over.

    Interesting note: Basketball-Reference's algorithms have this "closest match" thing where a player's Win Shares from best to worst over time can match up to other similar players in the same position. Dame's #2 match is Andre.

    I disagree. I consider it a draft pick. Do you think Sergei Monya was a significant trade asset? Do you think Dallas drafted Robert tractor Taylor? Do you consider Chris Webber a Magic draft pick? I certainly wouldn't call Tyrus Thomas a Blazer. LaMarcus being a Blazer was a direct result of losing games the previous season.

    Yes that's why I'd didn't list Roy; acquiring him was in no way related to the losses from the previous season.

    Lol I love obscure players that have ONE huge game.

    Also... tbh I thought Tracy Murray was the name of the character Morris Chestnut played in Like Mike...

    How did the team get the pick (Foye) anyways? I have no memory of that.

    Traded Telfair to Boston and took on Raef LaFrentz overpaid contract.

    Creating the original post one thing surprised me; Gerald Henderson was drafted only one year prior to Aminu and Davis. Many consider the later two core role players but discount Hendo as an aging one year rental.

    If Hendo has a productive season for us perhaps we consider giving him a similar cap friendly multi year deal?

    My first take on the trade was that Henderson was the "now" and Vonleh was the "later". I hope Hendo is a big part of this year's team. And the next few also, at least.
