    IF you take away Yao and Cato, the rest of the team has a horrible fg%. Perhaps Taylor will need to play some 3, at least he can shoot!

    We really need to trade Mobley, EG, et al, for a quality shooter.
    Mobely's quick step has half the value of a set or screen shooter for this team.

    Francis is all the slashing we need.

    JJ can't shoot. AG is bench talent. Boki is maybe finding a shot, maybe ??? Pike is no starter. Moochie? Wilks?

    I love Artest, but maybe we need Micheal Redd even more.

    I sure hope this is not news to you. That has been a problem for some time now.

    lets give JVG some time to change the way we make better shot selections. I'm sure we will see a big improvement this year :)

    Yes, I've known about this for some time, but JVG mentioned it recently, and I thought it might become a priority.

    There are different ways to get good shots, but you need guys that can knock'em down without having to sub in a D unit every 24 seconds. That balance is missing on this team.

    No one bit on my Taylor bomb. I'm disappointed. Shoot, he might play well in a big lineup. Who knows? At least he can sink the ball if you leave him wide open.

    Personally, I'd love the rox to get a two that can shoot off screens, play d and set picks. I'd love a 3 that can d, pass, shoot, board, and pick. Picks are important to me, esp. with Francis out there able to blow by or get the angle to deliver to a 7'0+ tower. Tiny tots and weak sisters can play elsewhere.
