    If he his signed, I think he'll play some 4 (obviously), but I think there will also be a role for him to play some small-ball 5 in very limited minutes of course. Black will probably soak most of those up.

    How can you keep Metta over him? This seems like a no brainer.
    Might be fun to see Metta join Yi in China and see his highlights for a couple of years over there.

    Robinson showed promise and I think we're going to be glad we kept him around.

    I like Robinson's motor... Quick hops, all hustle. With this group and who he's with on the floor, Robinson won't be asked to do things outside his game. He'd be our Garbage Man on the court.

    Glad we kept him. He kind of reminds me of Cleveland's Thomas, grabs rebounds with the occasional put back defends well. May not see the floor much but at least we know when he is out there he'll give max effort.

    I actually tossed the idea out there a couple weeks ago of releasing Anthony poopoo platter Brown.

    Good call

    Having another pretty coordinated and athletic big man doesn't suck.



    I haven't seen this one yet but it's longer and by 1677091 PRODUCTIONS who do a great job with highlight clips. They did Tarik's Houston / Lakers reel.

    Two legit centers (Mos & Zub): check
    One small ball energy center (Tarik): check
    Three legit versatile PF / small ball centers (Julius, Nance, TRob): check
    Best bigs roster in last few years: check
