    Honestly he's got a decent shot to stay. I figure at least Randle and Tarik are gone this summer. They're playing well enough that another team will want them, but not well enough to prove their worth here. There'll be room for him, but he's probably going to have to be cheap.

    I predict 40% turnover in next year's roster, but I have no idea who is going Or staying.

    Interesting, I'd thought he'd want to leave because he wasn't getting much playing time. Not to say he is unhappy but just wants more opportunity.

    Maybe he knows he might not get a chance anywhere else. If its real cheap I wouldn't mind having him back.

    Luke told the press that Robinson has been tremendous not just in his role, but accepting that his minutes and role are completely variable. I love Robinson as a 12-13th man on the roster. He might not be as talented as some of our other guys, but I see no reason why he couldn't be a Turiaf or something on this roster.

    I thought Bass was solid last yr to and we didn't even bother looking his way even for vet min. Hoping that changes with new mgmt., Trob is a good hustle big to have off the bench.

    i liked bass, too. i wonder if it was a mutual parting of ways, though, as bass was at a point in his career where he'd want to lose less.

    for the rumblings about robinson's attitude or off court issues, we heard nary a peep this year. i love how hard he plays, and i'll put up with his limitations for that.

    If Zubac is out, and Mozgov is shelved, is this a 7 game tryout coming up for him to show some things? He and Black should see plenty of minutes.

    Just another undersized player for his position. We had a few too many of them in recent years. *sigh*

    I would try to recall their names if I cared enough or if they had any legit impact on the team.

    He's listed at 6'8" 250

    Yes, I think that's a bit undersized at PF if you are looking for an elite player. Very few great PF were ever that height in the last 30 years.

    Every inch matters.

    He solid in Dallas. Good in Boston. Then dropped of a cliff.

    6'9" and 230 for Larry Nance Jr, but his reach is 25" longer which is incredible.
