    We need more blood stoppers, period. Love that term.

    Blatche is a jack wad but not as big a jack wad as Bogut or Barnes. But he last played in China, everyone's knows the guys in that league can't play for shyte otherwise we'd bring in the younger guys like PG/wing Jamaal Franklin who are actually excelling over there.

    They would share the training room & rehab room together.

    They'd share alternating days off - when Nene needs a game off because he played a game, Bogut can *hopefully* play. When Bogut need a day off, *hopefully* Nene is ready to play.

    Sounds like a plan, no?

    Yao never went through a combine to get the data

    Should have tried to get Okafor or Noel when we had the chance. Capela isn't our future if he keeps getting destroyed. He didn't block out at all and with no help we were killed in rebounds.

    I read an article that if Cleveland commits to Deron and Bogut then Derrick Williams is a goner. Not sold on him; just saying I'm sure he'll be in rumors.

    Yes he is shown to lack charter. That is one of the reasons he is in China. The other is to make more money (Washington and the Chinese team both pay him). He is off Washington's books now and we could pay him while he tries to get his next BIG contract. In China he is averages 30 / 15 now. ( I know it is not the NBA but those still are nice numbers in any league and I have not seen him play over there just read the stats sheets.)
    As a rental for rebounds or a long term solution on a team friendly contract he could be our answer.

    There are a lot of empty spots & I never said no to Franklin. Just throughing out thoughts.

    Franklin comment not directed at you. And like I said, rather have Blatche than Bogut.

    Where did all this Larry Sanders crap come from? Is he linked to us somehow? Or is it just speculation?

    Blatche > Bogut for a MDA offense

    I thought he signed a three year deal with no NBA outs.

    I have no issue with sanders if he's looked ok in workouts to the team

    Morey should sign Larry Sanders, wait until Cleveland signs Bogut and sign Derrick Williams when he's cut

    I know who we can get!
    Playoff tested veteran. Great defender. Free agent yet not that far removed from playing.
    We're all fools for not thinking of this earlier......
    Tim Duncan!
    While we're at it, maybe Ray Allen wants to be our back-up SF.

    Why? Williams sucks at 3 ball, below average rebounder and his D is nothing to write home about.
