    If the playoffs started today, you'll have a big(s) to help out.

    Usual characters. One doesn't seem to fit, but we need an enforcer.

    All about that treble and all about the shark that stays under the water.

    Don't fret.

    We aren't living and dying by Clint.

    It's coming.

    Brandon Bass (no treble); Whale shark? Return of the Sichuan Blue Whale?

    I would trade for Ricky Rubio and have him start against the Rockets. They would be SCARED!

    I had no idea Brandon Bass was on the Clippers, I thought he was still a laker.

    Not necessarily Bass, but he is a free bird. He plays an old mans game, but he enforces and can easily finish around the rim.

    Do not fret.

    Best example I can give right now is :Ricky. You know the movie. The man who has been shot in the back. He's not dead, but he's mentally out.

    I told you ATL was going to implode MONTHS ago. It's happening. SAC is next, followed by Denver, Detroit and Brooklyn, among others.

    Names as my ear lemme know.

    NeNe is happy here. Unless DM gets a crazy deal, old man Brazil is here for stability.

    Just get rid of Ennis and (K no J) please :)

    Wait, I thought Ricky died in Boyz n the Hood, no?

    What am I missing here? An NBA big who has been shot in the back by his team but is not dead and just mentally checked out? Maybe while rotting on the bench?

    Hmm, someone get @Batman Jones in here to decipher this riddler message please.

    He fits the M.O here, but I think we need to keep digging. Because I don't think there is even a snowballs chance in hell that Cuban would do anything that could potentially be beneficial to the Rockets.

    One thing he does well is rebound but I suspect he is done. Huge body to clog up the paint but well past his best.

    Sounds like Bogut. Mentally checked out and not a great fit in the no post up offense. You hate his guts if you play against him but will tolerate him if you have him on you're team.

    Bogut also fits the "enforcer" profile that Codman mentioned earlier.

    After doing more thinking on this, maybe it wasn't Dallas that shot Bogut in the back, maybe Codman was referring to Golden State here too.

    However, I still don't understand how we end up with Bogut. No way Cuban would allow this to happen but I welcome the idea of it. With Bogut setting screens for our shooters and bruising it up in the paint, I think he would be a good fit here just like he was for the Warriors.

    The only matchup I don't feel comfortable with is OKC, avoid it at all costs

    No we will finish them in 6 at max. Team we want to avoid is a healthy Memphis team.
