    I thought we were re-signing everyone?

    I bet if we draft his brother he'll definitely be back, otherwise, no biggie.

    I hope Dorrell does stay. He's a good teammate, good positive energy knows his role & seems level headed. That's becoming more rare to find these days.

    Obviously not. I think he keeps an inventory of about 5 canned snark posts and just cycles through them.

    I really value Dorell but honestly, if he could get minutes somewhere why wouldn't he pursue it. The next 4 years of his career need to count

    At best he's the popsicle stick used to spread the paste. But he's probably more the Ralph Wiggum who eats the paste.

    Yeah, he runs like he's got glue on his shoes. He's usually pretty good at what he does, the problem is getting him to do it all the time. Too many times I've seen him lollygagging on both ends of the floor. Either he's out of position in the offense which allows his man to help on defense, or he's a half a step behind the guy he's defending and we give up an easy bucket because the rest of the team is scrambling to rotate and cover his man.

    Yup.

    Similar to Kaman in that sense. Both players' value can probably be felt off the court than on it. Wright is close with players on the team, but his skills and impact should be fairly easily to replace.

    Sorry but that's just utter crap. Batum regularly leads the NBA (didn't last season but was top 5) in miles logged.

    Which tells you all you need to know about using any single stat.
