I agree with bajaden - there's better upside with a training camp scrub than the Collins twins. There's no way that Sean May can be expected to reliably back up Hawes/Thompson for the entire season - that's too many minutes expected out of all + there's always the looming injury factor. For...

At the very least wait until next summer - if he impresses and helps the team win more games, he's a keeper. If he's a double-double guy but does absolutely nothing to help the W column, I'd test him in the RFA market (if possible). I want to keep him if he's a winner, but I'm fearful that the...

I admire Kahn's aggressiveness, but looking at Minny's depth chart, they need more support. Daniels, Wilkins, and pretty much their whole backup frontcourt are useless. I can see Kahn making another move - they have absolutely no scoring at the 2 and no one to backup Love/Jefferson (Ryan...

Fantastic, just when I was holding on to the glimmer of hope that Beno could come back and "remain tradeable" this happens. Now he'll have another season where he shows up out of shape and using his injury as an excuse - and hangers-on will say "just wait til next year when he's healthy." So...

Agreed - that's why I didn't include KC... I have a feeling that if things don't work out here in Sac, Anaheim, in a business sense, is the most probable relocation. San Jose, IMO, has a location conflict with the W's... Also read something somewhere that brought up a good argument against KC...

Well, now all we have to worry about is Anaheim & San Jose. Let's hope those fall through as well, and should the Maloof's choose to move, they'll be trapped!

I think the Bobcats are more likely to move Nazr Mohammed, who fell out of favor (as predicted) with Larry Brown last season. They've been looking to move Mohammed for a while now. Diop was a target of the organization, and they got him. Then again, Larry could fall out of love with Diop...

I'll take a poor-man's D-Wade or a pre-knee injury Larry Hughes anyday. BUT I'd rather have them play the 2, as previously described by Gary. However, this season, Tyreke will be running the point, which development-wise, should be beneficial in developing his passing/basketball IQ. Down the...

C- is a little harsh, but agree with this final quote: "Well, it hasn't been awful. It just hasn't been nearly enough." While there's still time, I wish GP had/will be a little more aggressive in rebuilding...

I like this trade as well. Dalembert brings us a defensive presence in the post, something we haven't had since........................uh, yeah. 2 years won't hurt us, especially if we get rid of Beno. But I don't think Philly is that desperate...

They clearly need more frontcourt help, especially if May is ineffective or Thompson/Hawes gets injured. It's possible the FO's thinking is that they can find a better scrub in training camp. I guess Brockman will have to battle for his spot...

Been toying around with the trade machine lately - don't mind that Kirlenko/Fesenko proposition (if we aren't going to be FA players). Here's another thought: what about... Kenny Thomas to NY for Jared Jeffries and Jordan Hill and/or Beno Udrih and Donte Greene to Minnesota for Brian Cardinal...

Hey bajaden - great analysis! I like the depth of PF's in this draft - and also the intrigue of "upside" players John Wall, Derrick Favors, Ed Davis, and Donatas Motiejunas. Equally, can't wait to see how these promising players pan out next season (along with the usual dark horse-draft...

Well the big need for Philly is to get rid of Brand - he just doesn't gel with the lineup. But unless he proves himself, they'll be stuck. Other than that, Phill needs someone to distribute the ball as well as outside shooting. They got 3-pt-only player Kapono for that - but when I say 3-pt...

Not seeing a lot of trade potential with Denver. The Nuggets seem pretty set with their starting 5 and the Kings don't offer an upgrade at any position, save the 2. And at that point, a trade would not make sense. In terms of playoff or fringe-playoff teams with "roster holes", I'd take a...

Completely forgot about that - I think fans were looking forward to this show as well. Perhaps the "pilot" didn't get picked up, or ever got off the ground considering the Maloof's current cash flow problem. Still would like to see it, though - plus based on the title it's guaranteed to have...

Hopefully this doesn't start a wave of steroid (et al) scandals in NBA news. Honestly, some guys HAVE to be taking something, but unless its anybody on the Lakers, I'd rather not hear about it and continue living the lie. ;)

Well put together Gary - re: the season outlook, couldn't have said it better myself. Of course, better outlooks would be nice, but I'm a little more rational... Keep in mind this was post-trade deadline - this team as whole already took the season off. And while all those guys are scrubs...

Roy's a great player, but that's pretty pricey considering his output, injury history, and the fact that Portland will need to keep good players around him. Definitely not a steal, but not as bad as last summer's ridiculous Martell Webster extension.

I'm expecting anywhere from 15-25 wins...the low side factoring in injury to any of our starters. Also, because we're starting two young frontcourt players who are not great defenders, foul prone, and still developing. And, ball movement will be a HUGE problem as the sole distributors will be...
