    Yea, that would make me feel better too with a guy like Tyson Chandler. If Capela gets hurt or something then we're relying on Nene who I love but is older, a little undersized and with a history of injuries. Also I hope we make room to keep Wiltjer and Payton. Get rid of Ennis please. Just a wasted trade.

    I am getting Nick Johnson vibes from Payton Jr.
    Not good.
    Does DD like him?
    That would be the finishing touches.

    More like Bev, DMo and draft pick for Okafor. All day, every day.

    Wilter is a keeper for that shot.

    Brown is one of the worst active 31 year old basketball players I have ever seen in my life.

    I want to give Harrell more minutes. I do not understand how someone with that kind of energy, aggressiveness and competitiveness can be a poor rebounder even taking boxing out into account.

    I want Onuaku to practice a lot a lot. A LOT.

    Capela is a starter in this league. It's too early for him to be a solid starter, but at his age and experience, the guy is progressing at a really pleasant pace.

    Wiltjer is always going to be at least a 15th man in the NBA. It's up to him how far up the rotation he moves.

    Where the hell is Joshua Smith? If that kid had gotten into great shape he would be an NBA player.

    He was on the Bucks SL team, but still out there. He's pretty small now.

    In the past four years, Morey was trying so hard to find a stretch 4. Now we have finally found one , I really hope Morey will keep him.

    hmmm. interesting that for somebody who claims to know the team very well, you forgot Dekker, mispelled both Payton and Prigioni.

    Poor Hairston getting no respect. Did no one notice his misspelling.

    And watch out for the spelling police yourself; you misspelled the word "misspelled"

    Is Bigger Alan Williams available, or still stuck with the Suns?

    Just check my first post, I feel I made a very strong prediction to our future roster, even though so many didn't like it!, Y

    You mean the opening post where you didn't mention Capela at all? And you got Ennis and Onuaku getting cut?

    My boring prediction:

    Beverley, Ennis, prigioni, Gordon, harden, McDaniels, brewer, ariza, dekker, Anderson, capela, Harrell, nene, onuaku all make team easily.

    Payton II makes it over Wiltjer, who ends up on the vipers, making lots of people mad.

    Dmo signs in Europe.

    Personally I would waive or trade Ennis and Onuaku (and Brewer of course)

    My preference is:

    C – NENE, CAPELA, HARRELL
    PF – ANDERSON, MOTIEJUNAS, WILTJER
    SF – ARIZA, BREWER, DEKKER
    SG – HARDEN, GORDON, MCDANIELS
    PG – BEVERLY, PRIGIONI, BROWN/PAYTON (OR FA/TRADE PICKUP)

    Reality is probably closer to as of right now:

    C – NENE, CAPELA, ONUAKU
    PF – ANDERSON, HARRELL, DEKKER
    SF – ARIZA, BREWER
    SG – HARDEN, GORDON, MCDANIELS
    PG – BEVERLY, PRIGIONI, ENNIS, PAYTON

    Why do so many people think Payton will make it over Wiltjer? Because of his last name? If I'm Morey, I'm keeping Wiltjer all day every day over Payton. You must remember Harden is our starting point guard, no need to keep 4 more.
