    When was the last time we had to think about who we want to push out to the injured list because we're overflowing with TALENT?!

    Talk about good worries.

    Current roster:

    1. Francis
    2. Mobley
    3. Griffin
    4. KT
    5. MoT
    6. Collier
    7. Cato
    8. Rice
    9. YaoM
    10. Hawkins
    11. Moochie
    12. Nachbar

    13. TMo
    14. Tito
    15. Pete M.

    What do you all say... Nachbar or Collier? I say keep Boki around and let Cato and YaoM share minutes at Center.

    Of course Rudy has the last word on this...

    Take Terence off the IR list. He is versitile, can play the 3 and the 4. Put Collier on the IR list. With Cato, Ming, Taylor and Griffin they can quite easily handle the center spot.

    I think it's going to be Collier, and none too soon.

    I think it is Boki. Maybe Collier later in the year, but right now I just don't see a situation in which boki gets minutes behind Rice, KT, Hawkins and soon TMo. I know all of those guys can play other positions, but still Boki would be fifth in line.

    Boki might still not be completely healthy. If so, he should be send to the IR. If he is healthy, I'd like to see him on the active roster. We all know what Collier can do (or can't do). We have yet seen what a full strength Boki can do. Besides, Boki clearly has a better upside than Collier. He should be given a chance to earn his PT.

    Boki has not played in over 3 games, what makes you think he won't go on the IL?

    Rudy should just "accidentally" step on Collier's foot and say "well lookie there ...looks like you have a sudden case of plantar fasciatis ...looks like a little down time will heal that right up!"

    It's a toss up between Boki and Collier. They are in the end of a deep position.

    Cato, Yao, Griffin, and Taylor will all get minutes at the center.
    Thomas, Rice, Hawkins, Morris, and maybe Griffin get time at SF.

    So, my hunch is that Boki goes on the Injured list.

    Didn't the league change it so that I in IR now means "inactive"?

    I would like Collier to be available for all Laker games. So we should delay despatching to the IR for a week. Boki is as good a choice as any.

    I also get the feeling that Boki is not healthy. He should go on the IR until he gets fit and then work him slowly back into the rotation.

    I remember hearing that the league did away with the Injured List last year and changed it to an Inactive Reserve. But both the Chronicle and posters here talk about it as an Injured List. This is something that's confused me for awhile. Can anyone clarify?

    Btw, presuming Cato comes back shortly, Collier takes TMo's place no question. Play Griff/MoT more if neither Cato or Yao are on the court, and find more minutes for our 3-men.

    I think we see Collier before Boki on the IL (or is it IR?!).

    Not because Collier is not good though. I went to that open practice at the Summit and he looked REAL good. I'm sure yall read the thread on how he was playing there.

    I think Rudy wants to develop Boki, so putting him on IL/IR might not jive with that plan.

    And what's the deal w/ Cato? Is he not coming back for Phoenix?
