    Yes, Hawes can play the stretch-4 role well offensively. But defensively he's toast.

    The whole team needs to spend the summer with Dwight working out. Imagine Jones, Parsons, Asik, Daniels and Harden getting pushed by Howard in the gym with the strength and conditioning coach we brought in last year. The team would be on a whole other level next year physically. That's what TJ needs specifically. Hope to see a lot of tweets from the team this year with mentions of staying focused and getting stronger.

    Why does everyone keep saying Jones is undersized? At 6'10", he's quite normal for his position. He's as tall as Blake Griffin without shoes, with a longer wingspan (7'1") and higher standing reach (8'11"). He also came into the league weighing 252 pounds to boot, which is heavier than Griffin as well.

    Love, Griffin, and Horford are all the same size as Jones, but the other three are never considered undersized. If it's because he "plays small" then you might as well call DMo undersized as well. It's not like size matters anyway, as Paul Millsap is 6'7" and would kill on this team.

    According to player efficiency rating, he is already your third star. I wouldn't, just saying

    I think I already know the answer, but does Channing Frye play any D at the 4 spot?

    He is certainly not a weapon, but yes Frye is much better than Jones defensively, which is more about Jones than Frye.

    I would love to add Frye in the rotation, but we should aim higher for our starter. He would be an upgrade though.

    I'm not even about to react to this how I was going to, because it would be putting down DMO. But at a certain point saying DMO is a better offensive player than Jones is doing it in spite. That's how far from the truth it is.
