    11 with the three rookies is correct

    9 contracts means lots of room to maneuver!

    Yep. Either way it looks like three additional players minimum still to come.

    I really am hoping for full tank mode after the draft and Aldridge rumors. I don't want a guy like Kaman, Dalembert, chandler that will come in make us miss the best draft in a decade and then leave in two years. Hoping Olshey sticks to his no short term guys, guns

    So you pretty much want to tank along with 10 other teams?

    How is rebuilding the right way with good young players tanking? No one is sitting, or trying to lose.

    I'd rather try to sign Bynum and if healthy we would be a team to be reckoned with. if not we would be a shoe in for the star laden 14 draft

    Sounds like our ideal FA situation is: Splitter and Mike Dunleavy Jr. (room exception?)

    Lillard l McCollum
    Matthews l Crabbe l McCollum l Barton
    Batum l Mike Dunleavy l Claver
    Aldridge l T Rob l Freeland
    Splitter l Withey l Meyers

    I'd suddenly feel a lot better about our front court. I'd make LMA play some C, and throw out a lineup with him and T Rob out there together. Or T Rob and Meyers, dunk unit.
