    Hope we somehow get Auguste onto the DFenders, I like the guy.

    Last two cuts being Metta and Robinson most likely?

    would have liked to see Auguste get some playing time in the pre season. Cuts gotta be made though.

    Yeah, unfortunately, our preseason is being spent figuring out the best lineups rather than finding diamonds in the rough.

    We already have a breadth of talent, Luke needs to find the optimal groups.

    Last cuts should be Metta and Yi.

    These three looked like they aren't NBA guys, but I'd like to see all three of them in D-Fenders.

    Metta has to go. After that, whatever.

    LF2 ... exactly :rock: but stay current! ;) ;) Clippers got him already and the stench of "wheelchair" PP and "douchebag" KG is being implanted in his head as I type this. :Crazyartest: :Crazyartest:

    I like Auguste. High energy guy. Gotta get him on the D team. I really think he can develop into a solid player.

    I hope T-Rob makes it. I like his motor and ability to switch on defense. I like Metta but he's done and we have enough mentors and locker room guys on the team. Yi hasn't impressed me at all.

    A "maxed out" Auguste is a hustle guy, good teammate, glue guy, who can run the floor and give six fouls. He's worth keeping an eye on. The others are probably not worth another thought.

    Keep forgetting about Yi. Cut Yi and Metta.

    I agree that these two should be the last cuts. But Yi is going to make the team because the powers that be believe that he brings something different to the team. A big that can shoot.

    Whether we actually believe that is another story, but that's the most likely reason he still is on the roster.

    I'l like to keep Thomas Robinson

    Excellent article and I agree all the way. MWP and Robinson will most likely be cut, maybe with MWP being kept on somehow as a defensive assistant (his playing days are over realistically), and maybe Robinson goes to the Defenders? Yi will be retained because of that flexible contract. Brown has a guaranteed contract already.

    Yi contract isnt as valuable as people making it out to be considering where the cap is now.
