    The Nic and Rolo…...it was Batum and Rolo that had great chemistry...Batum got a ton of assists from Rolo finishing at the rim

    Here’s my list, all positions

    1. Markieff
    2. Kanter
    3. Gortat
    4. Lopez
    5. Teodosic

    I think Markieff would be an upgrade over Moe, and he could possibly even start. The centers have been discussed, and Teodosic would be an upgrade over Curry.

    Morris getting a second opinion on his neck injury. If he can come back healthy, he fits well here.

    Yeah and his brother was interviewed saying he didn’t want him on another eastern conference team. Two issues though

    1. Lakers are evidently interested. No way would he choose Portland over them.

    2. Olsheys bullshit “culture.” No bad boys allowed.

    I mean considering these are all buyout guys, they don’t have much of a choice. Gun to head though? Lopez, just because of the familiarity.

    Morris isn't a "bad boy" he's a fake tough guy.

    How about Beasley, gives us banger down low. I think he would get along with Dame and the guys and he's probably like Stotts too?

    Not the worst idea. Better idea than Melo for sure. Wasn’t Portland interested in him this past summer? He can get buckets.

    Teodosic is probably off to Europe. He’s got a couple offers, most likely for a lot more than he can make on a minimum contract in the nba.

    Markieff will never happen. I could see him in Houston actually.

    Bulls may keep Lopez. If not, he’s probably going to the Warriors.

    The more I think about, the less Kanter becomes an option. His agent also reps Collins, so there might be a conflict of interest there. But maybe not since it’s only a short term deal. Still, I think Gortat is the most realistic.

    Diddling around with the bottom end of the roster may excite Olshey, but I have to say I find it tough to care. The team needs upgrades, not more warm bodies.

    If we had Morris, at least he'd be pulling other peoples pants down and not our players

    People felt the same way about Bob Probert when he was with the Detroit Red Wings. Except it was "putting our players in the hospital" not pulling their pants down.

    Olshey culture? I would venture a guess that it's more Paul Allen culture as it was this way after the jail blazer era and before Olshey.
