    doesn't matter what their listed at. If you don't bulk up as you go through the league you will not last. You saying capella is listed at 240 yet is still being thrown around like a feather. There's different ways of adding weight. Strength being the most important. The point being is you need to add this in whatever way especially being a big in the league.

    I imagine Morey is keeping that roster spot acailable if needed for trades. I doubt he gets a 10 day contract, because that means one less roster spot on Jan 15th.

    I want to go mad scientist and somehow meld Greg Smith and Putney into one person. Instant superstar.

    Putney is a mad scientist creation all by himself.

    This guy is almost guaranteed to be a sixer in the near future.

    Looks like people have been blowing up Morey's twitter about this dude for weeks.

    If this kids shooting holds up after joining the bigs, we could make a big push to the playoffs. Other teams always seem to have much better shooters than we do, while we go on these 8-10 minute lapses where nobody can hit the side of a barn and these guys you never heard of seem to not miss a shot. Then they start filling the paint and doubling Harden.
    If this kid makes them pay for doubling and tripling Harden or putting the whole defense in the paint, it would force them to open things up.

    Beverly, Harden, Putney, Capela, Howard

    I wonder if Putney could throw a lob to Howard and Capela?

    Why not Jordan Crawford? He had 72 pts and 16 boards in China

    Durant is the exception to that rule. Guy can't bench but can play.

    Sign him already, because he's probably better than whatever we're trading for.

    We have a pretty great 3 point shooting 7 footer already, but shooting is the last thing you get to do if you're a big on this team.

    People on here arent satisfied unless you get a bonafide star. Why isnt this man a good backup SF? Because hes got one or two overcomeable weaknesses? Please enlighten me..
