    Give Terry three months.

    At the very least start Vonleh. Don’t know why he got taken out to begin with.

    Although Gordon is probably not the matchup for either one.

    The real thing he needs to figure out is start Aminu at the 3. Then Collins or Vonleh at the 4 comes naturally.
    It's so painfully obvious that this is the lineup we need to go to...

    That, and hire a proven big man coach are my two current pet peeves. It astounds me how two things so obvious to EVERYONE outside of the organization cannot be equally obvious to those inside the organization.

    Its not like we have a bunch of young front court players or anything that need coaching now more than ever so I don't see what the problem is.

    What's the damn point? We're going to suck anyway. Just sit back and enjoy watching the young players.

    Which is why we should move Aminu to the 3. So, we can play Collins and Vonleh, you know, our younger players, at the 4.

    Geezus, how to you not make this connection? Playing Aminu at the 4 takes minutes away from the young guys we should be developing.

    Playing Aminu at the 3 takes away minutes from the Ghost of Harkless Past - this is a good thing.
