Not a staggering loss or anything, but why didn't we sign him? Did he not want to come back? I thought he was alright last season, and he did have that one good game in the playoffs.
Two years at the minimum don't seem bad at all.

He's essentially replacing LeBron on the Cavs so it was a good choice for him to get minutes, whilst we have added Harrington.
The 3 spot should be ok to find anyway... would love to find a vet somewhere that's achieved something (not Malik Allen or AC).

As long as Balkman gets plenty of play this will be fine. I just hope the FO doesn't take for granted what role players do for the team.

we added harrington who plays the same position(s)....and already have balkman as a benchwarmer to play the same positions as well.
rather have the roster spot for another true big guy. even a d-league all-star level one.

Are you on crack? Joey had a better handle than Melo and looked better in the final games of the playoffs against the Jazz. The team should have traded Melo and kept Graham....
He doesn't fit anymore, so what Corona said was spot on, but he was too nice about it. Graham is gone because he doesn't fit the team going forward.
