    :Randallconfused:

    Amazing what one decent Olympic showing can get you. Also, he says he's 28 years old, but Fran what's his name was saying during one game he could be up to 3 years older.

    Maybe Mozgov's injury is more serious than previously thought. Also, China lied about his age so he's probably really 32 years old.

    Somebody is on the move.

    Mozgov/Yi/Black/Zubac
    Randle/Nance/Deng/Black

    I just don't see us keeping that kind of depth.....at those prices.

    Mozgov, Yi, Deng are not movable til Dec 15th? Unsure on the others. Seems like something else is in play.

    Who is the odd man out?

    could be an interesting pick up...... would solidify the front court and give a clearer picture of the rotation. Has range for a big but a really slow deliberate release...... can run the floor a bit, decent quickness for a big... has some NBA experience and has showed really well in international play vs good level talent.

    Could mean that this will be a development year for Zubac.

    Only see Deng used at the 4 during spurts of small ball... not often enough to list him as depth at PF by any means.

    It's only a one year deal. Age shouldn't be a concern.

    Woohoo we just got the Chinese Ryan Kelly.

    We were at around $86 million with everyone and Nick so if everyone stays and signs then this will put us at the cap

    Lots of disagreements about his signing amount. Here's a possible (and hopefully truthful) theory:
