one season ago, and the only year in the nba that Rolo averged more than 30 min----he averaged 8.5 rebounds
I expect him to play over 30 min.

But yes we need another rebounder and Booxer is not the answer.

Trade Calderon and sign Prigioni!

Well, in reality Prigioni will probably sign with the Spurs and win a well deserved chip.

Either or.

WTF is Phil doing? That dude can shoot and would have been a good reliable SG behind AA. Man, if the Knicks don't make the playoffs I want both Fisher and Phil gone. :noway: :nonono:

I must be thinking of a different John Jenkins, because the only John Jenkins I know doesn't deserve this much attention.

Meanwhile, JR Smith is about to go into the Cavs FO with those big doe eyes and ask for a raise

Asked if he regretted his decision to decline his contract option, Smith said "Uh, I mean, yes and no.

"No because I've gotten offers that I wanted, I mean numbers that I wanted, it's just different situations," Smith said. "Right now it's just a matter of seeing what the Cavs come back to me with. Right now they give me the best opportunity to win."

It is believed Smith was seeking somewhere in the $7 million to $9 million range annually.

The Portland Trail Blazers, Philadelphia 76ers and Indiana Pacers are the only teams beyond the Cavaliers that can offer him a raise.

Grant
Affalo
Melo
Oquin
Lopez

Calderon
Gallo
Williams
Boozer
Porzingis

I like grant in the starting lineup, we get to play quicker, break down defense and contain point guards from easy drivesto the basket

Calderon can control the second unit and give them some extra scoring.. He"ll also have more room to operate with boozer and porzingis opening the court.. Can play some pick and roll with porzingis if he wants

Dwill (great cutter can also benifit from the floor spacing porzingis and boozer can give you)

I guess its decent, if dwill plays wells that unit is more than capable of holding its own ground

Id be surprised but not shocked to see Grant or Gallo start over Calderon for both defense and speed

I don't think O'Quinn starts because of his foul issues and he's never played major mins

I actually think Williams starts
they seem pretty high on him


if we did land boozer Id like to see him start, if he can hold his own on D, or help the bench unit out with Porz playing spot mins at 3 or 4

Just run with:
Lopez
Melo
Afflalo
Grant
Jose

If KP plays well throughout the season in his 15-20 minutes off the bench then start him after the allstar break.
