    Look at our team. We have promising Stars like Griffin, Nachbar, and Ming. We already know what Stevie and Cat can Do. Now lets let this team be. We dont need to bring in Rashard to r****d Nachbars development. We also cant trade for another PF we already got Griff. Let them develope and learn to play as a team so the Chemistry will be there. When we got players to be here in the long term why bring someone else from another team just to slow down the experience of being on the court in big time game winning situations. I think Rice would be a nice back up SF at this point in his career. And Taylor would give us an offensive spark off the Bench.

    So here is the line up i would love to see

    Francis
    Mobley
    Nachbar
    Griffin
    Ming

    Important Role players

    Moochie Norris
    Maurice Taylor
    Glen Rice (Until his contract is up)
    and When Rice leaves we can address our SF backup in the draft, or hope T MO develops into a valuable Role player.

    Right now we are sitting pretty so please dont screw around with our Roster this summer CD.

    All Cato is doing is taking up Salary Cap Space. The only way he can Score is to Dunk cmon your kidding me. He should work on his damn jump shot. He should get Ming to teach him how to shoot the ball. Cato is just pathetic at Center. I used to be a Cato supporter and defend him when my friends dissed him. But now ive had enough of him he cant do anything (Except Dunk). I thought well since he cant play O maybe he can play alittle D but nooo he cant even do that. Jeez lets trade Cato for a 6 Pack of Budlight, and a ham sadwhich.

    Hey, Cato's no superstar, but would you REALLY rather have Collier as our backup center?!!

    How can a 6'7 guys be a big small forward? They need to clear some players out or it will be some unhappy campers. Prime candidate is Thomas who is going into a contract yr. If he doesn't play good minutes, he will be very sour.If you could package him,Cato, and collier for Thomas and a contract, then you do it. i haven't really went into it but the log jam must be cleared.

    well, he uses his quickness against PFs. i think if he moves to SF he will use his strength to post up.

    having a post player, rebounder at the 3, instead of a 3pt shooting, crossover dribbling, perimeter player would make him seem pretty big.

    :p

    The only thing left to add this season is a willy vetren, to back up at the 2 & 3. Someone with playoff ex. Somone named BYRON RUSSELL!

    For the most part, I'm pleased with the roster, but I wouldn't be against a little roster tweaking as long as trades don't include Ming, Griffin, Nachbar, Mobley, and Francis. I think the team could still use a big man to do the dirty work and add a little toughness. It seems like the roster has a whole lot of scorers and not enough role-players to do all the little things (Horry, Christie, Elie, etc.). I also would really like to get rid of one long term contract, preferably Taylor or Moochie. Maybe packaging KT and Moochie for a defensive minded 2/3. Or sending Taylor to a team in need of some scoring for a player with only 1 or 2 years left on their contract.

    As evidenced by some of the games against most of the 3's, he wasn't really that big of an advantage at that spot.

    Yes, if we are going to play the high post offense, where the center needs to be able to shoot from there as well as pass.

    Collier is much better suited to that role then Cato.

    Yes, we need to do something.
    Most likely......find another team for Kenny Thomas.
    I like him more than MoTaylor, but he's the one without the contract.
    Plus, he gained value this season by playing a lot of minutes and showing his skill.

    I'd like to get rid of Moochie, but that's very unlikely. :(
