    To hell with stretch fours. I hate those p*****s. Was that what Hakeem had back in the day? Don't think Thorpe was a stretch 4.

    Spark plug off the bench. Garcia kind of took him under his wing when they were in SAC together.

    He actually has more size to play the stretch 4 than Delfino. I expect him to see minutes there. I like everything Morey is doing. Casspi is only a 35% 3pt shooter but I expect that to go up when he gets better shot selection. Are lane is already filled with Howard, Harden and Lin. He definitely fills a role here. We only need shooters and fastbreak finishers who are willing to commit on the defensive side. Casspi fits that bill but more importantly Morey must think so too.

    Thank you....the kid has REAL talent and overall skills that will blend well with this team. He will KNOW his role and excel in it....are some of you really questioning Morey and his staff?

    He plays awfully alot like Ryan Anderson. Probably not as good as of a shooter, but with Dwight and Harden, he'll get a lot of open looks.

    What was his injury?

    If he can play defense I'm fine with him, because he looks like he really loves to run. Tall guys that can run are wanted on this team.

    Absolutely correct dobro,
    He will be able to shoot with the spacing (low release).....and he hasn't been allowed to fill a role on a very good team.....It will be at vet minimum...Of course, he'll hustle, but people will be surprised at what else he brings to THIS team.

    He is not a Delfino. Again, he's more of a Parsons. You could think of it as having Parsons as a rookie, but his D may not be as good (could be though, with more effort), but in limited minutes, that's not bad at all.

    He's 25.

    6'9

    Basically a jack of all trades, master of none.

    We're not going to add a game-changing free agent with the minimum. These types of players are available for so low because they are prospects with a lot of question marks. I'm not saying Omri Casspi is going to be the greatest of all time or even a rotation player, but you've got to break a couple James Anderson eggs to make a Patrick Beverley omelette. Sorry, I'm tired.
