    There has to be a trade coming. Has to be. It feels like we're getting ready to lose Ant and Little.

    We signed Mclemore, Zeller and Snell as new players in the most crucial offseason.

    I really want to make this my avatar, but we know how dangerous that is.

    Snell hasn't missed a FT in two seasons... albeit he's only shot 43 in that time. But still... and he's solid from 3 pt range. A better shooting Melo who can play some D. I like it!

    Liked him a bit coming out of college and thought he would have a little more impact.
    Not bad for a Vet Min....but the overall roster hasn't really improved except perhaps on the very periphery edges.

    Prepare to be dissapointed. Expecting trades because we signed some end of the bench benchwarmers....

    I think he is a great fit. Still major work to do with this roster but this is a solid minimal signing.

    I hope we carry 15 players into the season. At least then I still have something to forward to with the TPMLE....

    Them and DJJ can bring us back someone making just a tiny bit over 20 per year. In the area of Jerami Grant. Not a ton else around there that jumps out at you. Harrison Barnes is close.

    I’ll take his shooting coming off the bench. But damn, this roster has just kind of moved laterally

    Ironically I think Snell/Zeller is an upgrade over Kanter/Melo, especially in the post-season but like.....come on.

    This shit is still a first round exit roster.

    he's close to dame. they've worked on his albums together.

    this is worrisome but it also was tweeted in the midst of the Laker news-- not necessarily anything to do with Snell.

    So the McLemore signing was a mistake. Can we get out of it?

    Exactly. Lillard will be saying good-bye if we can’t do any better than this.

    You guys crack me up. Another one of those Milwaukee players that some were begging for. (In a trade for CJ)
    Now he is crap at 29. Personally, I never thought he was as good as others did, but coming off the bench he seems to be a good signing.
    He does have playoff experience.

    It does feel like we are finding replacements for ANT and/or Little. Which makes sense because they are our only young assets with value and I am sure they are being asked for in all PF trades.

    Pretty much

    Anybody check and see if Brian Scalabrine wants to come out of retirement?

    I literally cannot imagine a more uninspiring signing. I would sooner have an open roster spot. By far.
