    He's not leaving the european champion to play on the D-League. If he comes, it means we plan to give him use.

    Are we planning on waiving MCW or Onuaku then?

    Wheres the roster space coming from?

    Paul / Melton / Williams
    Harden / Gordon / Green
    Tucker / Ennis / Edwards
    Anthony / Anderson / Qi
    Capela / Nene / Hartenstein / Onuaku

    That's 16 players without Taylor. Or 15 if we plan on signing Edwards to a 2 way. Either way, no roster spot open.

    I hope Anderson, Nene(sorry Ne all love), Onuaku and Williams are all gone before the season starts. Too much wasted cap and wasted roster space.

    The skill set I've noticed Morey is valuing heavily in his 3 and D players isn't the 3 but instead fg% at the rim.

    I assume these players will be n the corner anyways, shooting in the high 30's on catch and shoot 3's, but he is ready for the counter attack when teams force us to drive.

    Morey has always said that you can teach players how to shoot, but you can't teach them how to finish at the rim.

    MCW isn't good at finishing at the rim either. The only thing I can think that he does well on Offense is assist at a above average rate.

    You guys are fooling yourselves if you think he would be an immediate contributor.....

    This signing hasn't happened and isn't imminent, based on what I can find. (I could be wrong). Seems like this is just kicking the tires.

    That is the curious signing IMO.

    MCW was signed for his defense, imo.

    Yes, he is not an above average passer. I'm afraid he will decide to go solo, after stealing the ball, to prove that he can score. This will negate the defense, that he brings to the court.

    In other news... Morey is now confirmed to be recruiting from local zoos for any animals that may be able to play defense. Wolves were considered a priority but not necessarily the only target.

    Morey, "Of course we wanted a 3 point shooter, but we couldn't pass up the chance to get a true defender that could take out Curry with one foul. If they can make others bleed... they can play"

    He doesn't have playing time in European league. He sucks.

    He is not worth 2 million. If he is worth 2 million, he needs to play 5 minutes a game.

    I’d be shocked if Anderson were still on the team at the season’s start...why count him on the 15 if you’re already counting Melo?

    And how about Nene? If he’s not lumped into a trade it would surprise me. Onuaku can do what he does. Frankly, out with the old in the with the new. Hartenstein, Qi, Onuaku, 2 draft picks that might actually make the team? Pretty friggin decent for a team that definitely could’ve not used some young legs last year. Then you have a roster featuring a few stars, a few role players like Gordon, Capela and Tucker and you have a bunch of young guys who have potential.

    Fun Fact: We actually drafted Jeffery Taylor's dad, Jeff Taylor, in 1982.
