    No,

    but I did stay in Holiday Inn Express last night so it is quite easy to figure it out.

    All these threads are running together at this point - can't tell if I walked into a Ben McLemore thread, an Anthony Bennet thread, a Marcus Thornton thread, or a Terrance Jones one - and thats just from the last page of this topic.

    Words mean little, but nice of him to actually write something instead of just a tweet with one sentence.

    This is what I’m hoping for as well. He can finally have a chance to eliminate bad mid range shots, and focus solely on what he does best. Shoot open 3’s, attack close outs and finish at the rim and draw fouls by staying aggressive. He can also get out and run with Russ in transition with the second unit.

    If he can survive defensively he could be a decent fit as a potential spark plug off the bench. Maybe he can earn 12-14 minutes a game if buys in and keeps hitting 3’s at a good clip. We shoot so many 3’s, bringing in another gun slinger can’t hurt.

    I don’t see any real risk. I’m still hopeful that Morey will get the right forward at some point this year. When he does this team should be locked and loaded for a real championship run.

    camp contract. outside shot at making the team.

    teams can have up to 20 guys in the offseason. I think we have 17 or 18 right now. I'd expect another weak NG signing or two before camp starts.

    As much as I love HTOWN Green.... I think McLemore could out play him.

    some competition is great.

    we have 8 guys guaranteed minutes. the rest seem pretty weak but at least they each have similar players right behind them fighting for their spot:

    clark vs bennet
    green vs mclemore
    clemons vs chiozza

    Camp body on a partially guaranteed 2year?

    Wouldn’t surprise me if Gordon is moved for Iggy now.

    We have a coach whom in his perfect world would play 5 guards all game.

    Having a roster of extreme guard depth and no inside depth fits the philosophy of the lead strategist of the team, if you don't like it than advocate we get a new coach
