    I wonder if Roy will reach out to Cap again now that he's closer to the organization.

    7'2 skyhook? Woo.

    They've connected already I believe. There's a pic of him and Abdul-Jabbar in some Jiu Jitsu studio. Maybe they can foster that relationship further. Hibbert's game is not fluid but certainly not caveman primitive like that other guy we had here before. More importantly, he's receptive to learning and developing...

    F*** it ...... I'm down .... keep Swaggy P for his chance at redemption and finest hours ahead too. All of a sudden that seems really right to me now. These guys off the charts are going to feed off the energy on this squad, and yeah we can use another guy capable of lighting it up and playing some minutes at SF. Freaking Bench Mob 2.0.

    I'd love it if he tried. What's he got to lose?

    We need a strong bench if we're going to compete in the west.

    No, I'm thinking of it totally positively. I think we're going to be better than I'd initially thought.

    I think lou and nick can co exist. Also I'm pretty positive we're keeping his salary for future trades (disgruntled players like cousins etc). It's good to have salary to trade as assets. Maybe nick will be averaging 13 to 15 pts before feb deadline and raise his stock ;)

    So I think we still have some moves to make. I think Sacre and Kelly will be dumped somewhere or flat out cut. We have too many bigs and not enough guards. I know I've posted it before, but I figure I'll do it again.

    Hibbert/Black/Upshaw/Sacre
    Randle/Bass/Kelly/Nance
    Kobe/Swaggy/A. Brown
    Clarkson/J. Brown
    Russell/Lou Williams

    We are waaaaay to top heavy right now, and we have no roster spots at the moment. If I had to guess, Sacre and Kelly are gone in some form or fashion and we sign a true pg to get some minutes.

    A big man who actually wants to be here? Strange.

    Really don't see how Kelly and Sacre fit, hopefully we can get a deal for them.
