    Can we sign Bynum? What kind of money does he want? Imagine if we could get him for our $2.6 slot!?!? If he can play, we just got real good....

    He'd be a bitter bitch if he signed for that little money.

    Naa I still think Mathews will get packaged up in a deal. Upgrade the SG position.

    We really are just a veteran back-up center away from an awesome off-season!

    Dalembert?
    Jermaine?
    Camby?
    Bynum?

    SG position is pretty weak. Drop off is pretty big after the top 3. Matthews is basically in the 2nd tier of SGs anyways. There's no significant upgrade to be had.

    I think they're grooming CJ to become the starter.

    I think I'll just do a drive by holding up a Jermaine O'Neal sign.

    Actually I wouldn't mind getting Camby back. He has great high post passing to Aldridge.

    I'm not a big fan of two 6"3 guards playing heavy minutes and starting.

    Regardless, the SG position at this moment isn't strong enough to take advantage of 6'3 guys playing the position.

    We should sign Lamar Odom and then we can have a Kardashian show up to our games!

    Is Robin Lopez still dating Michelle Wie? That would be a combo.

    Considering where we started and where we are ending up, and the flexibility this roster has for future moves, I'm giving Olshey a solid 'A' for this off season. And it's not done.

    It's like how Lillard was PGOTF when we drafted him. Pretty sure CJ will be SGOTF.

    my guess for a rotation would be:

    PG -- Damian -- CJ -- Earl
    SG -- Wesley -- Allen -- Will (or perhaps Will -- Allen)
    SF -- Nicolas -- Dorell -- Victor
    PF -- LaMarcus -- Thomas -- Joel
    C -- Robin -- Meyers --(spot to be filled after waiving Terrell Davis)
