    I guess it's no surprise given Lawrence Roberts has been solid.

    Be interesting to see if we now make a move to fill the spare spot on the roster.

    Good luck to Thomas, hope he gets a contract somewhere.

    Someone told me that this move was done to clear space for Brian Cardinal on the roster, but wasn't there already enough space to activate him?

    I think that if we have an open roster spot, then we should look at Jay Williams or Latrell Sprewell. Even though we don't need either one, I think they'd give us a lot more depth and make us a much bigger threat come playoff time. I also hear that Shawn Kemp has lost a lot of weight and is making a comeback. Any takers?

    We definitely didn't need to make the move to activate Cardinal.

    I don't want Sprewell under any circumstances.
