    We're not letting Clarkson go. How many times does this have to be said? He's an essential part of this young core otherwise he would've been traded likely.

    The win column apparently. The Ding piece probably didn't help either.

    He's restricted. No way they're that inept to let him go.

    :) Clarkson looks to be a keeper for us and is a key part of the young group we have now. Starter or sixth man if we land a veteran point or shooting guard. I read somewhere that he is not above being first off the pine.

    Welcome to a normal NBA team's prospects.

    It sucks, but it's just the reality we are in by not retooling, drafting and developing players while we were still in contention.

    We will by and large have to gain some kind of team through developing players into someone free agents respect and want to play with. We have to show that our new coach can run modern sets, and have some kind of stable game plan, and our players have to show that they can respond to it by winning.

    That's all we got barring Mitchch's Magic Wand

    At this point Big Al would be a somewhat save. Professional guy that can still score around the basket. Only drawback is it would be a freeway to the basket. But hell, it's been that anyway for the last three years.

    I agree. I just think we absolutely have to add some solid veterans otherwise things can get ugly.

    Right now...meetings are being scheduled by all parties involved even if it is clandestine in some respects. Who really knows who's going to be talking to who? I'd believe we'd be in some conversations contrary to speculative reports and not totally snubbed.
