    Start

    Dame
    Henderson
    Aminu
    Leonard
    Plumlee

    Bring CJ, Vonleh, and Crabbe off the bench. Hopefully get a nice pick in the next draft.

    LMA isn't gone (yet).

    If he re-signs, the strategy would be quite different.

    We need to come up with a nickname for our Leonard and Plumlee frontline if they both start. The White Walkers?

    You hinted at going after Henson. Would Kaman's contract get him? I wouldn't give up picks anymore (we are going to need those!).

    He should be forced to come off the bench until he publicly apologizes.

    They actually do look really similar. They should change their numbers to 98 and 99.

    "Hey, leave that guy open, he can't shoot anything"

    "Oh SHIT, that was Leonard, not Plumlee"

    That's a toughy... CJ's earned it I think.

    Hendo starts. I think that's a no-brainer.

    We still have cap space for 2 max players. You think we don't use any, waiting for next year/uneven trades?

    I assume you think it's so obvious you don't have to explain yourself, but explain yourself anyway.

    Agreed, let him go, if that's possible.

    He's bigger, a vet, and he's been an NBA starter for the past 4 seasons.

    yep..I didn't say start the guy, but without Monroe, he's valuable at the 5 off the bench. You realize we have Plumlee now right?

    I'd hope we'd continue to pursue free agents, young guys who fit into Dame's timeline. Harris, Davis, maybe Kanter.

    I want plenty of time available for Leonard, Vonleh, and Plumlee. I don't think we need Freeland.

    Make 'em grow beards and call them the Hipster Hightowers.

    In honor of the tallest building in town, call them Pink and Pinker.
