    Here is my projected 15 man roster at the start of the season. I expect it to change at the trade deadline as we deal expirings for leget bench strength:

    Alston, Brooks, Bjax
    McGrady, Francis, Head
    Battier, Greene, Harris
    Scola, Landry, Hayes
    Yao, Dorsey, Deke

    My 12 man roster

    Aston, Brooks, Bjax
    Mcgrady, Head
    Battier, Hariis
    Scola, Landry, Hayes
    Yao, Dorsey


    Novak, Woods will probably be cut or traded possibly for TE's. We will be keeping BJax, Francis, Hayes, and Head for a trade deadline move. If we sign Barry, Harris will have to be added to the cut list. Morey will really have to pull some magic to not add 5M or so to dead cap space.

    Probably too realistic. Most people would much rather dream about the impossible like Artest, Maggette, Miller, etc.

    We will cut Harris before Novak.
    Harris is not gurantted koney Novak is.
    If we can get Barry then probably Novak or Francis will be cut.
    Novak has more value but Francis has a bigger expiring contract.

    I though Harris signed a guaranteed contract. If not, I agree.

    Hope you're right, but I don't know how we get Pietrus. If we sign Landry we won't have enough money for Pietrus. I also don't think BJax and Novak will net Miller, either in talent or money. Maybe I'm missing something though.

    Francis will be off this team after the deadline, one way or the other.

    I think there could be as much as 33% turnover, so I am going to just wait and see.

    no idea about projected roster, but a dream roster will be

    PG- SF3/Alston/Brooks
    SG- VC/Finley/Green
    SF- Tmac/Barry/Greene
    PF- Brand/Scola/Horry/Novak
    C- Yao/Dorsey

    what a dream that would be.

    Not only is that trade improbable, but the free-agent signings don't make sense at all.

    Why would Posey and Cassell leave the Celtics where they just won a championship? Why would Chicago trade Hinrich for 4 point guards? Unless you mean Gerald Green, I don't think Donte can play the 2 position.

    Steve Francis is the starting PG on your dream roster?

    Are you kidding me? Tinsley is garbage of epic proportions. Rafer is 3x the player he is.

    I don't know which new players we'll bring in (although Horry and Barry sound like possibilities), but I do have a good idea of who'll be gone:

    Harris and Woods will definitely be gone.

    Head and Hayes also should be out of here.

    Jackson will be gone by the trade deadline.

    Francis will probably be gone too.

    I use Novak instead of Harris. But there is rumor about Brent Barry, then Head will be gone. I definitely want to keep Novak for more time.
