    Barbosa time?

    Deron Williams, Stuckey, Foye, Monta Ellis, Jennings are also free agents i think...event though, to me, they all kinda suck at this point...maybe Foye and Stuckey are still worth a look but i don't really know.

    EDIT: no roster spots...never mind then.

    Not worth it right now and maybe never. He needs to go to Europe and sort iut his game. I don't think he's got it in the head.

    See who gets cut. We may bring back Taylor on a 2-way depending on who else gets cut.

    He can say that but I have seen what we have been doing with our draft picks for the most part of the last decade, I'd be very surprised if Zhou didn't spend a good amount of time in the G-League.

    YESSS!!! I'm glad we didn't get rid of Troy Williams, I was getting worried for him because we gave more of our bench pre-season minutes to Chris Johnson.

    You’re correct. I hope MDA changes his ways and incorporates Zhou. Too bad Cam Oliver was injured. I liked his chances too.

    Can we start calling it Gatorade League? It sounds more obnoxious that way.

    Either way, looks like we've got some future Vipers to sign to contracts!

    glad we got rid of taylor. kid looked horrible. we still need another guard though.

    and wonder what they see in oliver, he barely even played both summer league and preseason. maybe we have to hold onto him until his hand heals up?

    and as another poster mentioned, why give chris johnson all those minutes over trey williams?

    maybe they gave minutes to Johnson instead of Williams in order to see if he could actually play since they already knew what they had in Williams and knew that he would be on the final roster

    I think the most important things for the coaching staff were getting the main rotation ready for the regular season and seeing who could be a 4th guard

    Correct me if I'm wrong: Since he's injured, he can't be cut, right?

    I have no idea if there's a rule against that (reguarding NG players who don't get paid if waived). I think that's an NFL thing. I'm under the impression that any player can be waived, I've seen many injured NBA players be waived due to their injury.

    Yeah, obviously you can be waived due to injury. Maybe it was something about camp invitees. I just vaguely remember one year when we all thought someone was going to get cut, but he was injured, so we couldn't cut him until he came back to the team.

    My memory can be bad on stuff like that. Anyone else recall this?
