    So much for Denver being up and coming. Everytime one of these slapass teams make a deep playoff run, they lose one of their key guys. Bye Bye Denver, enjoy a 1st round loss next year.

    I am a little concerned about size. Our only legit center is McGee right now. I'm hoping we have Cousins in the bag. Last season the Clippers lost to the Nuggets because Doc refused to take Harrell out and Jokic continued to abuse him. We need to have an answer for Jokic at some point.

    Wow wow Wubzy. Ox called it. Something was too too too quiet.

    Bazemore still available? He would be a good fit with our other guys.

    Hope we keep Kief.

    Dogs. Dennis. Wes. Trez. Kief. AC.

    Agreed. Our size and defense off the bench last season was one of our biggest strengths. We were bigger than most teams at every position, so far we have gotten better at key positions, but also a little smaller. I really wanted Dwight back in addition to a signing like Harrell/Morris.

    Yes, but in the playoffs, it was Dwight that bodied up Jokic for most of the minutes. AD wouldn't have been able to do what he did on offense for us if he was having to bang with Jokic all game.

    I have a feeling that Gasol signing will materialize. You know he talked to Pau about the Lakers... he knows what to expect. Him and McGee would be enough now when you need to go big, which isn't often anyway.

    Man... Schoeder, Wes and Trez are just nasty guys on the floor. It will difficult to deal with them for other teams. But this only works if your leadership is good, otherwise it's a huge gamble. Of course, this is where Bron earns that fat paycheck, there will be no fooling around in practice.

    That floor spacing looks atrocious... Montrezl is a very good player and hustles but just a bad fit.

    I'm not sure what some of those teams are doing with the new contracts. That's why many of them are always in trouble and not winning anything.

    $20m a year?! That series got this man paid! I guess that's what it takes to convince someone to go play in Detroit.

    Sure, we could jump on that opportunity. We got so much younger with Schroeder and Trez that we could pick up another 35-year old. You want another wing defender off the bench, he can still deliver. Always loved Ariza. :h:
