    If you play in the nba and you can't shoot then you are either a center or Ricky Rubio

    Clint was playing strong before he got hurt and our defense was in the top 10 . Give him a chance to get his form back before we start singling Him out as the problem . We have much bigger needs at forward

    I've always thought he's a great #2 C. I just don't like him as the starter.

    He is a Center ok.....but a back up Center

    Problem is we currently have two players who are back ups at their positions playing as starters - Capela and Ryan Anderson. They'd both be better off the bench

    We essentially need upgrades at damn near every position.

    Have you guys seen Bev-Trev-Ryno lately? Holy crap we look terrible. We need another big gun to go with Harden so all these guys can take a step back.

    Ariza is just ok and passable as starting SF at this stage. You can't upgrade all 4 positions

    Bev is a back up at any other team but with Harden here, he is ok too I guess.

    I would love to see us get a legitimately athletic, scoring SG next to James. No reason to lose positional size If James is playing PG.

    Realistic suggestions? Remember that guy has to be able to play D too (at least that's what keeps Bev right next to Harden)

    Yeah but apparently what is good enough is having Ricky Rubio take the ball of Harden's hands and be the primary playmaker for a championship team

    Ok carry on.

    Ha. Will be interesting to see who winds up with Rubio. I'll have the last laugh on him.

    We have to call him a center because most NBA PF's have at least a mid range game, Capela is still struggling on the free throws.
