    I can see why you'd think this was aimed at you, but it really was me joking about the state of our board in general

    I think that....

    Miller | Blake (Bayless)
    Roy | Rudy
    Batum | Webster (Outlaw)
    Aldridge | Outlaw (Howard)
    Oden | Przybilla

    Is an absolutely great lineup. I think that our 12 deep roster is as good as there is in the NBA. Roles need to be defined as early as possible, but I am really comfortable and confident going to war with that team.

    Also, I am not going to worry about anything (outside of an injury) until the season starts. Preseason isn't the best indicator of what is to come. At the same time, I realize that this is what Message boards are for. With roles defined, and minutes allocated properly, I like our chances verse anyone, honestly. And 1-8, the west is weaker this year anyway, IMO. Noone even really knows who will get the 8th spot, and its not because there are more than 8 teams that deserve it. :)

    Thinking about it...

    last years team (54 wins)
    - Sergio, Frye, Diogu/Ruffin (from 12 man roster)
    + Miller, Howard, Webster (to the 12 man roster)

    = Win, IMO.

    (Also, having Udoka and Cunningham on reserve just in case is pretty nice if you ask me)
