T-Mac Yao Battier Mike James Bonzi Hopefully Scola is in the middle of the list somewhere, but since he's never played in the NBA, I didn't rate him...
Actually what matters more to me is the worst 5 players and who we could/should unload........ JLIII Novak Snyder Rafer Sura Reed - after expiration of the trading 60 day trading period ....and what we can get for them! Just because they are not front line for us does not mean they are not valuable to other less fortunate teams....One man's trash is another man's treasure. Point guard bereft teams may look highly on Rafer and JLIII. Cap strapped teams may desire Sura's contract, etc., etc.
i don't like rafer as much as the next guy but he's the only true PG on this team. and plus, when he play 22-25 mins, i think he would be a GREAT addition to the team. he was overplayed and overused last yr by JVG.
Judging by most recent play T-Mac Yao Battier Rafer Hayes If things go well, by the end of the season Yao T-Mac James Bonzi Scola
=1 Yao =1 McGrady 3 Bonzi 4 Scola 5 Battier I think Bonzi still deserves respect for what he can do on the court, regardless of his questionable attitude and professionalism. He has proven he is capable of dominating quality opposition in big games. Being one of the two biggest stars for the Olympic champions, I'd like to think that Scola could be our third best player before too long. His defence at the Olympics leaves me with some doubts.
1) Yao 2) TMac 3) James 4) Battier 5) Luther Bonzi hopefully regains ability and jumps ahead of James and Battier. I haven't seen Scola, but hope he can jump ahead of Luther.
People need to remember justunder 18 months ago bonzi was destroying the spurs under the motion offense. 24 and 11 were he's numbers. i'm confident he can regain that touch under Adelman. Tracy Yao Bonzi James Battier Scola Brooks Hayes Deke landry Novak Big jake

Bonzi?: Jury is still out on this guy 6. Mike James biatch: I hate him...take you and your trade kicker elsewhere. 7. Chucky:Hard worker and post defender. Important next to yao 8. Louie Scola?: Untested 9. Luther:Threepointer specialist and kinda clutch 10. Snyder?: Athletic.. and err. ya. 11. Brooks?:Untested. Fast. But untested 12. Butler?: Untested 13 Deke?: DNP: Too old xP 14. Novak: cant defend a chair, but i remember he defended pretty well against Antoine Walker during one of the first games last season 15. Landry: Large forehead should be able to block the view of the basket. JL3 should not be allowed to play in the nba.
