That's awesome, thanks for the clarification! In that case I would let him enter the D-league draft, and keep the rest of the players until a roster space clear up. That's surely better than signing him and sending him to the D-league anyway, and at least he will get good playing time to develop. So, for me, unless more moves are made, the 15 spots go to, in no particular order: 1. T-Mac 2. Yao 3. SF 4. Battier 5. Barry 6. Scola 7. Landry when signed 8. Dorsey 9. Hayes 10. Head 11. Mt Mutumbo 12. Alston 13. Jackson 14. Novak 15. Brooks With Greene playing with the D-league team that drafted him.
PG - Alston, Brooks SG - Rip Hamilton, B Jackson, Green SF - Battier, Prince, Harris PF - Scola, Landry, Hayes, Novak C - Yao, Deke, Dorsey I don't really know if that will be our roster. I just wanted to see what it would look like if we sent TMac to Detroit. I think we are a much better defensive team with this roster and I LOVE the depth at the power forward and small forward positions (all hard noised, high energy players). I just don't know if we have enough offensive. A Hamilton/Prince/TMac trade is a wash point wise.
If no trades go down before opening night: Alston, Brooks, (Barry) McGrady, Barry, Head Battier, (McGrady), (Barry), Greene Scola, Landry, Dorsey Yao, Hayes, Deke Trading Block: Jackson, Francis
UPDATED!!! 1. Carl Landry 2. Tracy McGrady 3. Yao Ming 4. Shane Battier 5. Rafer Alston 6. Steve Francis 7. Luis Scola 8. Aaron Brooks 9. Steve Novak 10. Mike Harris 11. Brent Barry 12. Deke 13. Chuck44 14. Ron Artest 15. Joey Dorsey Starters in bold, inactives or D Leagues in red.
1. Rafer Alston 2. Tracy McGrady 3. Ron Artest 4. Luis Scola 5. Yao Ming 6. Shane Battier 7. Aaron Brooks 8. Steve Francis 9. Chuck Hayes 10. Carl Landry 11. Dikembe Mutombo 12. Brent Barry 13. Luther Head 14. Joey Dorsey 15. Mike Harris
This isn't a depth chart, but this is how I'd rank players in order of likelihood that they'll be on the roster on opening day: Almost certain to be on the team: 1. Yao Ming 2. Tracy McGrady 3. Ron Artest 4. Shane Battier 5. Rafer Alston 6. Luis Scola 7. Brent Barry Probably will be on team: 8. Aaron Brooks 9. Chuck Hayes 10. Joey Dorsey 50/50 will be on team: 11. Luther Head 12. Dikembe Mutombo 13. Carl Landry It's iffy: 14. Steve Francis 15. Mike Harris Almost certain will not be on the team: Steve Novak

i hope so mine: yao tracy rafer shane luis ron francis barry dorsey hayes brooks deke landry (if resigned) novak head harris isnt on the team but i think he'll be signed i think the guy most likely to be dealt is Head if there are more trades coming up "minor" ones that is. Head has value and is expiring (though small) but can be an asset for a team. I wouldnt be surprised if Morey tries to trade head and maybe a future 2nd for a first round next year in the 18-26 range.
rafer battier landry barry t-mac yao sf3 novak artest mutombo harris scola 12 active players Luther Chuck Novak 15 man
Adelman should try to find Novak a spot. The guy can shoot. He has shown that he can hit the perimeter shot in meaningful games. Novak makes my 12 man roster over head.
