Thats just mean!So just as a recap folks, this now means that Brad Miller's 1.2 blks a game last year is more than ANY player on our roster has EVER averaged in a year.
Brad is our Ben Wallace.
Kings release Amundson AND Williams!

Um, last time I checked Amundson and Williams haven't averaged 1.2 blks in the NBA either. Neither did Woods. So....

He must have really screwed up in practice and couldn't keep anything straight to not play much at all in preseason. Even the young kids got some decent minutes in the beginning before falling out of favor and getting only getting garbage time.
With out lack of size I really don't know why we got rid of him, the other guys we have don't exactly blow you away now do they (Taylor & Pot and our 6' 6' center Corliss)!!!
I remember Koz and Henry Turner saying that when they saw him during warm-ups he was always shooting 3's instead of practicing down on the block.

So here is our frontline:
Brad Miller, SAR, KT, Pot, Mo Taylor, and Corliss. Softer than a pillow+hobbit ball=Worst Frontline in the League.

I don't think our lousy front line would have been any less lousy by keeping either of those two louses. It just solidifies our lousicity up front.
Seems almost disrespectful that this is it. Every time a shot goes up it looks like 6th graders leaping angrily to pull boards away from 8th graders. I'd say get used to it, but geez we are way used to it.

Looks spot-on to me. I think you can have 13 active now though? So maybe Pot's the only one dressed down--although that'll be Bibby for the first few games or so

LOL SLAB...you are my brotha from anotha motha. 
Maybe GP has someone in mind he wants to pick up. Maybe another youngin'/roster invite-type that will be waived by another team. I'd like to think that Geoff isn't the worst GM when it comes to frontcourt decisions. But at this point I'm not holding my breath.

Its really too bad. I honestly didn't really see anything in Amundson so I'm not sorry to see him go, but Williams seemed like he could be something one day.
Won't make much of a difference this year though.

lol you say that as a joke but compared to Taylor, Pot, Corlis. I'd might take him.

No. Pot's expiring contract is worth more than Mateen-ers. I liked the kid too but then I woke up.

AHA I got it. Pot has been doing Awesome in practice playing defense blocking shots and handling the ball hitting threes fastbreak dunks. so Muss wanted to keep him the secret weapon to use when it counts. I just wonder if he will wait until the playoffs to unleash the beast that is Vitaley Potapenko
That is so true!!! If Brad is our only 7 footer and shoots 3s...why cannot Woods. See he was really trying to stick with this team and be like Brad!

His contract expires no matter if he is on the team or not. Honestly do you think somebody will trade us something we need in return for Him???? therefore not that valuable

Well I for one, am glad.
Every year you get these kids coming out of school all full of themselves with their "rebounding" and their "shotblocking" -- pfffft! All that crap does is ugly up the game and slow down scoring. And so they come into camp thinking they are all the shizznit and they've got all of the "intangibles" and all of that other garbage figured out, and I'm just so glad we've got a GM with the balls to put them in their place. The guts to stand up for all of those championship teams built around small, soft jump-shooting big men and say "No Mr. Young and Athletic, we do NOT tolerate those kind of shennanigans here!"

Every year you see expiring contracts moved for semi-decent talent or as part of a larger deal. I expect there will be some teams interested in Pot come the trade deadline trying to wiggle some cap room for next season.

Makes sense to me. Amundson, who I liked a lot, had no offensive game and can not shoot FTs. He hustled big time and banged with the best of them. But was too much a one-dimensional player.
Williams was more raw than Amundson and too skinny for a 4 or 5 in the NBA. Sure, he jumped and blocked a shot or two. But he also did not have much of an offensive game and looked more lost out there than did Amundson. He bulks up and gets in a minor league he could be worth looking at again next year.
