    Ditto. Its been a very long time, Im actually very optimistic about this team now. It took last years midget front line to open DMs eyes as to what they really needed down low.

    I still wish we coulda got Fesenko from the Jazz, but Dampier is the 2nd best center in the league.

    We really can't until Kyle Lowry comes back, IMO. Courtney Lee isn't quite ready to run point.

    I'm guessing we'll just send JT back to the D-League and then swap him with Ish Smith when Lowry returns.

    I don't think so, Taylor should be the odd man out.

    Love the signing. First defensive back up center since Deke. This team is ready to roll!

    Clutch is reporting that the Jermaine Taylor experiment is likely over.

    Ish fans rejoice!

    You can't just "send someone to the d-league" to create a roster spot. You have to cut them.

    By reading his last tweet, I assume Taylor might get cut or traded for a 2nd round pick.
