    That's what RGV is for. If Morey continues to deal the young players with upside have more value than players like Livingston. That's why Morey signed Smith last season.

    JJ, Brockman, and Machado. Livingston and Douglas are too good to cut. Smith has too much height and he's showed improvement.

    i think we really need a trade for picks..there's a player or two who are too good to get cut..at least we get some value in return.

    But who would trade for them when there's a very good chance they pick up that player in a few days when they get cut.

    Or worst case, we don't cut the player AND THEN they make the trade offer.

    NBA teams are only allowed to send a maximum of 2 players to the D-League. Some of our players are already heading there as it is, it makes no sense to keep more rookies.

    You might as keep veteran players who would serve a purpose in practice and certain moments in games.

    I think it's because he duplicates what Delfino does and Delfino has a cool Argentinian accent and kind of looks a mix of Parsons and George Lopez.

    Not sure you are limited to sending only 2 NBA play to DL.

    I wouldn't cut Forbes, personally. I would keep him over any of the 3 back up PGs.

    Lamb, R.White, Machedo and D'Mo to D.League.

    Start of D. League is not until Nov 23. I guess assignment don't have to be made until then. Give the rookies another 3 weeks to impress.
