    I’m not seeing the logjam at center that some do. I don’t really want any of our centers playing more than 15MPG. I’m cool with Jordan as a 3rd string big, but relying on him as the primary backup doesn’t excite me. He’s essentially a lesser Dwight at this point. All 3 of our current centers are up there in age, so it’s safe to assume that guys will get dinged up over the course of the season. I’m all for AD getting more minutes at the 5, but I’d prefer another center that can stretch the floor a bit at times.

    Dwight has been working on his 3 for two years now. I'd let him shoot it.

    Better form on 3s than his free throws.

    DJ is a solid backup C option (or 3rd string if gasol returns)

    I was looking at different team rosters this morning and realized that the Pistons don't have a single player from last year. Took them something like nine months to completely rebuild the team. Incredible.

    Maybe it was buyer’s remorse from Ballmer talking them into Ghandi who wasn’t the 2nd coming that started that wrecking ball swinging. Did the GM get shown the door first?

    Dude’s an old Knicks fan though, can’t have any of that old Knicks mojo seeping into our org.

    For the record, I like the Knicks for some reason, and like where the new Knicks are headed, but a line must be drawn.

    Comedians are exempt from curses. This is common knowledge

    I LOVE the DJ signing. 10-12min a night. Insurance for an injury or resting guys. Plus guys like Rondo/Westbrook/Lebron will get him easy looks on the offense end.

    He has accepted an offer to volunteer his valuable services for free. In return all he asks is to get some hardware and be the final team standing at the end of the season
