    Very excited to see how this season rolls. There's actually time for them to gel as a team before starting the season so I expect to see a bit of chemistry come the regular season.

    No freaking way Joe Barely Cares belongs on that list....

    So much talent just wasted... This is why Kurt Rambis was one of favorite players.. no talent and worked his butt everytime he was on the court.

    DH is free agent. Others were trades. And no, TRob was traded for 4 2nd round picks..... Royce White was a waste of time and cost Rockets a 2nd pick to dump.

    This is big as all major players remain. Scottie for Rogers was a trade.

    The Harden acquisition probably needs to be higher already, because without him, there's zero chance we land Howard.

    Not saying he was a GREAT player, but man, Veron Maxwell was a helluva bargain pick up from San Antoinio. Straight up trade for cash.

    Great point about Rick Barry and I should've included him in that list. Pretty cool that his both his sons played here too.

    Believe it or not but there was a time that joe Barry Carroll was considered a top center. When that trade happened I had just moved to the Bay Area and followed that trade really closely.
