    "Pig" Miller is the new guy in, and those two are out.

    Cornell did look pretty solid this preseason though. Oh well. I hope they are making the right choices...dang Griffin really makes me mad.

    Come one guys,

    Cornell has been in 5 or 6 camps and has never been signed to a team. We are not missing out on anything. He was cut because JVG et al determined, based upon closer evaluation than we all have, that others were better.

    It's time to get on with things.

    The Rockets also need to get rid of.

    Amaechi - for a second round draft pick or anything we can dump him for.

    Muoneke - Braggs

    Then it's time for Pig, Scales and Wilks to get injured whenever everybody heals up.

    If they don't want 3 players on ir they can always release Pig and sign him later if needed.

    i'm sure these are nice guys and hardworkers but they're far, far from make or break pieces. maybe another team took notice and will sign them.

    Thanks, Sub Shot. I figured it had to be something like that. (And that is how you spell groin.)

    I think we woulda kept Cornell if it weren't for needing Pig, but I'm glad we got Pig and I favor him over the Animal. Here's how I see our 12-15 guys, in order (regardless of starters vs. bench or minute allotment):

    1. Francis
    2. Yao
    3. Mobley
    4. Taylor
    5. Cato
    6. Jackson
    7. Piatkowski
    8. E. Griffin
    9. A. Griffin
    10. Norris
    11. Nachbar
    12. Amaechi

    13. Wilks
    14. Miller
    15. Scales
