    If we let go of Dorsey or Black, not sure if any team would pick them up either.

    They wouldn't... so it's stupid why people are complaining. They are all trash at a NBA level. Morey knows we need to upgrade. Worrying about Adrien versus Dorsey over the first half of the regular season is pointless.

    There is something fundamentally wrong with the team. Yes they were shooting extremely well and the Defense looked good early on.

    Adrien alone cannot change that.

    Definitely the wrong guy to let go. He showed flashes during the preseason. Jeff Adrien has improved his game much more than Dorsey in my opinion.

    I wanted Adrien to make the team over Dorsey. Take your pick from last night's game: Dorsey, Black, Dmo all stunk it up on the floor for us.

    15 roster spots. Hard to cut guaranteed money. Had a bad ankle. Is at best an 8th or 9th man, at worst at the end of the bench with Dorsey.

    I'd take him over Dorsey on most days, in most situations, but the math simply wasn't in his favor.

    It's not a matter of being "cheap", it's a matter of managing your roster spots and cap as best as you can. The flub with Dorsey's guaranteed money hurt Adrien a lot.

    How tall is Dorsey? Also, Black is listed at 6'9". Right.

    If you go strictly by height, all of them are undersized, so shouldn't talent be the deciding factor here?

    Btw, isn't high time to bring Adrien back?
