    You know thinking about this even more I can actually see DM moving AB instead..

    Philly would have to bite if we offered AB + T-mac for Iggy + Dalembert. Here me out on this.. But I thought Will Conroy was the better of the 3 during his short stint in the off season to break down the defense and find the open shooter. Yes AB is faster and has a better shot but we are not needing a shooter in the PG spot if we are going to get Iggy. Distribution of Shot attempts have to go to Iggy because he is an efficient scorer.

    Personally I would pull the trigger because what Philly offers plugs a lot of holes for this team and we can get Conroy from the D-league.

    Not to mention the fact that during DM interview he said nobody is untouchable after a caller specifically stated AB, Battier, Scola

    AB is dispensable if we get the right pieces..

    DD what do you think about this?

    Three tiers of players in the NBDL. Class A earns $40,000, Class B earns $25,000, and Class C earns $15,000. It's really not that lucrative. They are playing in the hopes of getting called up. Your average Clutchfans member probably earns more than a superstar NBDL player.

    I would think Conroy is next in line for backup PG if we lose Lowry in FA.

    Conroy has game. He was easily our best summer league PG. I was one of those who wanted to keep him on the roster when it came down to him vs. Pops. That said, I hope we don't trade AB or KL unless it's for a very, very good return. In fact, I like AB and KL so much, I'd consider them almost as untouchable as Carl.

    He won't be called up unless either Brooks or Lowry gets hurt.

    Morey already called them, their coach said, If Tmac's willing to accept 8 minutes per game off the bench, then okay...

    Can anyone describe Antonio Anderson's game? Does he look like he could play in the NBA someday? His stats look pretty good, but so did James White and we know how that went.
