Not a lot we didn't know already, basically says were looking to add bigs and improve our wing position in the draft and free agency. Have a look if you please

Good find! What intrigued me was the comment that Billy made about talking to Brook after the walkthrough and how Brook is already seeing how he can get easier shots playing with D-Will. That confirms two things for me:
1) Devin wasn't helping Brook or playing to Brook strengths and giving him the ball where he is most effective (which most of us saw anyway)
2) Brook's numbers should go up even with recovery mono. If he's able to put numbers 18/6 with Devin, his comments basically just admitted that he should get more opportunities with D-Will.

It's also funny that he talks about how trade talks get leaked and he specifically mentions the fact that sometimes other teams will leak stuff and then blame you for it. Hmmm...I wonder who he's talking about...cough..Nuggets..cough..cough.

I thought the fact he was willing to answer someones question about getting rid of bad contracts in Outlaw and Petro shows he is obviously being proactive and looking at how he can trade away their contracts just like we want him to do.

It's becoming more and more obvious by the day how we are looking to bring in Howard and this video backs it up. He mentions the 2012 fa class and keeping flexability for it, well obviously he means Howard. I'm just preying he doesn't keep max contract space under the cap without really doing much at all with the team we have which would just be to dam risky.

Lets face it we're playing poker right now, we've got the King in D Will and we're looking for the Ace in Howard to add to our hand but we could end up with nothing but a Queen in Lopez.

Make no mistake about it, we're either going to be a contender soon enough of back to square one with no real assets.

Yeah, we're definitely taking the 'go hard or go home' approach, which is kinda cool but kinda scary because we've never really done this before. But I do like the fact that we're unwilling to be welcome mat for the NBA and we're going to do things to make us better.

It seems kinda funny but it appears that all of the things that we see, the management sees as well. They know they Outlaw and Petro weren't good additions and they will do what is necessary to remove them from our team. But as most of us have hoped and so far from what we've seen, King's favorite word is "cap space". Every move that we're going to make is going to be with keeping cap space in mind for a max contract. No matter what happens with the new CBA we'll have enough for at least one max player.
