    I read somewhere that Machado is injured. We can trade him while he's injured?

    Some places list him as 6'9" and others refer to him as 7'. He's 28, too.

    Another guy who underestimates Lin bites the dust.

    Is it possible the trade was mostly for the pick? Vipers are pretty stacked for the next D-League draft.

    (my apologies in advance: not exactly related to this thread, but just wanted to add this info somewhere.)

    wondering if this is part of the aftermath of DM's recent tradings and MIT Sloan conf.

    We got Brooks. Maybe since our depth at the point is taken care of for this season, and possibly next season, Scott was considered expendable. Daniels helps to replace The German for the Vipers? Just a thought.

    RGV can really use some size now. Ohlbrecht and Jones are both with HOU, Greg Smith is done with his short cameo there and so is, of course, DMo. Vernon Macklin got a job in the Phillipines. I think their front line are Glen Rice Jr at PF and Royce White at C, with Hassan Whitside off the bench.

    You sure need insurance when your self centered Center is ejected once every other game
