    Nice, I used to love Keith when he played for us before. It's sad to see Stevenson go but this a great move because Bogans is cheaper and is a good defender. I bet he will start with J.J. coming off the bench with Ariza.

    That's fine, he does have 3 point range as well and was always a good rebounder for his size. Hopefully he can come in right away and start and give us good minutes.

    We should've always hung on to Keith. He played better than Lebron in the summer league games here.

    Anyway, if we let Stevenson walk, for god's sake we must keep Ariza!!

    I'm also a fan of Bogans. Love the way he played when he was playing for the Bobcats.

    Keith is back! Great move. Hated it when they traded him away before the season started years ago.

    I haven't seen him play much at all, but from what you guys are saying, he sounds like a nice pick up. It looks like he'll be the starter and JJ will come off the bench, which seems like a good idea.

    YES! I was always a fan of Bogans & was disappointed when he left. I'm so happy he's back.

    Bogans is a bit of a downgrade IMO but I do like him and I just hope he starts ahead of JJ. I like this better than any of the 3 players Otis was talking about signing. I think Stevenson will make us regret not signing him, He is only 25 and has just starting to show what he can do. nice move if we couldn't get him back, but I'm still slightly dissapointed.

    I don't mind this signing as long as we can sign Ariza for about the same amount. I would take Bogans/Ariza over Stevenson for the same amount of the money.

    I haven't watched Bogans that much recently, but from what I remember here's how I see it between them 2.

    Scoring: Stevenson
    Shooting: Bogans
    Rebounding: Bogans
    Defense: Push
    Passing: Stevenson
    Potential: Stevenson
    Making the Most of their Talent: Bogans

    So as you can see. I would say that signing Bogans is a slim downgrade, but is a good bargain for half of the price.

    Yea, I think bogans gives us that player can help spread the floor more than stevenson could. Bogans 3's will help us as well as the rebounding. I will miss Stevenson, that man brought it every game, even when he was hurt. IMO he deserves the full mid level, its just on this team right now we cant give it to him. He will do good for some other team.
