    No to Dwight. He showed us what he's made of.

    Whoa, whoa, whoa. You are misconstruing what I was saying about D'Antoni. I was saying if I had to choose between D'Antoni for two more seasons or Boron for the rest of this one, I'd take D'Antoni. That isn't a ringing endorsement of D'Antoni. It's more of how BADLY I want Scott out. Obviously I don't want him back as our coach. I was speaking in a hypothetical situation where I had to choose between him and Boron.

    As for Dwight, I look at Dwight as more of a good player who along with another solid veteran might be enough to convince Durant to sign here. Of course I'd take Horford in a New York minute over Dwight, but if we are sporting our 3 young pups and another mediocre journeyman center, Durant doesn't care. At least with Dwight, a conversation starts.

    Except, you forget that Durant probably understands basketball better than most of us. He also sees games up close and in person. He hears stories.

    If we (and Kobe, who called him "soft") can tell that Dwight is an impostor, so can KD.

    I doubt Dwight would be much of an incentive for him so sign here.

    That ship sailed. Dwight has been exposed as an utter clown. You think Durant wants that idiot waving a stat sheet around talking about how many more shots he got than him? If you want any chance at signing KD you don't want a loser like Coward anywhere near this team. I think Hibbert is actually more attractive because he'll play great D and doesn't care about touches. Plus Roy is a great team guy. Dwight is just an a$%.

    Durant knows what Dwight is about. He called Dwight a p***** repeatedly in one game. There's clips of it but I couldnt find a good one.

    Yep. Durant is more like Kobe than people admit and he knows what Dwight is about. Dwight would scare him way more if anything.

    Like Mike Trudell mentioned pre-game yesterday I really want to see if Nance can play at SF. I believe he can, but I want to see this in games. I liked Larry's comments after the game when saying the PF spot for the Lakers is bright with Randle and Him, but I want Randle to get more minutes.

    I think laterally Nance is quick enough to play SF and at the rate his shot is going in he can play SF.

    I prefer a SF that can shoot. Especially when Russ is on the floor. Larry's jumper isn't quite consistent yet.

    I'm still waiting for him to play center. Like seriously Byron what the heck is taking you so long?

    This is true, but lets at least give it a shot. Randle is too talented to not get more than 25 minutes a game and I fear that with Nance playing much better as late Randle coming off the bench is going to continue to happen until further notice.

    Lets see if he can expand his range to the 3 point area over summer. If he can he would make an awesome SF/PF combo off the bench.

    This dude is balling.... I still think JR is much more talented, but JR seems to be getting lazy when things aren't going his way. Larry Nance just handles business when is name is called and is getting rewarded. He plays within the system... (whatever system we have going) and just does a great job at hustling and everything. Def a really good pick.

    I think he is more NBA ready because his 4 years of college ball but I never saw this coming when we drafted him. Really happy he is making the most of his playing time.

    Nance just plays the right way. He doesn't have all skills but his athleticism combined with his ability to rebound, move the ball quickly, defense, and timely shots allows him to have a valuable impact on our team.
