    Brains of the Internet and CBA,

    1. Now that we are solid at 1-4 , what is our next move? I have heard Walt for White but nothing serious. Any rumors? Moving any forwards?

    2. What exactly is our Salary Cap situation? We have renounced and signed and traded and I am lost. Can anyone clarify our bank balance?

    3. What does the opening day roster look like? Will we keep Rice, get a center, resign Mooch,Bull,Colson? Will we keep Kyle Hall?

    - G - Franchise, Cat Mooch?,Kyle Hall?

    - F - MoT, Rice Langhi,Griffin,TMo,Collier,KT,Walt,Bullard?

    - C - Crapo, ???

    We obviously have too many forwards. Hopefully via trade we can bring in a center.

    Thanks in Advance for your insight! :D

    Here's the 12 man roster as I see it now:

    Steve Francis
    Cuttino Mobley
    Glen Rice
    Kelvin Cato
    Eddie Griffin
    Mo Taylor
    Jason Collier
    Terrance Morris
    Moochi Norris
    Walt Williams
    Kenny Thomas
    Dan Langhi

    I wouldn't be surprised if Terrance Morris spent some time on IR.

    1: Francis, Mooch
    2: Cuttino, Hill
    3: Rice, Langhi, TMo
    4: MoT, Griffin, KT
    5: Cato, Collier

    IR: Walt, UT guard (high energy) or Omar Snead

    On or after September 15, Walt will be traded for Jahidi White.

    Cato or Collier will go to the IR until the schedule dictates that Hill, TMo, or Langhi take their turn.

    I'm out on a limb here with Snead and/or the UT high-energy guard. I like their aggressive explosiveness.

    And I always root for the underdog-- unless the Rockets are favored.

    We don't need Bull anymore; time for young talent. Let Bull cash his chips in Charlotte and come back as a broadaster then assistant down the road.

    PG - Francis, Moochie

    How does Hill(not Hall) make the roster before Darren Kelley.
    Terrance Morris will take Langhi's spot in preseason.(word)

    We are down by 1 forward. Channel 2 reported at 10:30 that the Rockets renounced their rights to Bullard.

    Hey, I had that on here long before Ch 2...how about some props?? Seriously, that's why I didn't have Bullard listed in my roster above.

    I expect Morris and Hill to rotate in and out of the "fake injury" roster throughout the year.

    u guys realize hill is a 2nd rounder and his contract is not guranteed.... highly unlikely to make the roster...

    Because Hill was selected in the middle of the second round, while Kelly (not Kelley) was not even picked. That being said, I love Kelly and don't know if Hill is clearly better. I just think it's silly to ask how a 2nd round pick could possibly make a roster over an undrafted player.

    I'm thinking:

    PG Francis, Norris(hopefully)

    SG Mobley, Davis(from Washington/maybe)

    SF Rice, Langhi/Morris

    PF Taylor, Griffin, KT

    C Cato, White, Collier

    With Collier being on the IR to begin the season....

    Not sure if Davis is attainable(if Walt is traded to the Wizzards)but if so not a bad back up and he can shoot........
