Tells me Stan's plan for Harper is definitely at the 3. I like that. I think that's where he fits best. Reminds me of a Lamar Odom skillset.

SVG asked Glen Big Baby Davis whether to call him Glen or Big Baby on the first day and now Stan will refer to him as Glen.

Hoopsworld said this was the day "the dominos would start falling" .. Can someone push the first domino please?

that's up to david stern to accept that VERY reasonable offer from the clippers... then the chips will fall - first nene will decide one way or the other and then we move from there

i know its frustrating.. everyone is waitin to see where cp3 ends up imo.. there are other teams besides us that havent made a move yet that needs to do so.. something is gonna give.

Fernandez yet to play for Mavs after draft-night trade but wants to move elsewhere now that Mavs added Lamar Odom/Vince Carter/Delonte West

Probably gonna go like this:

SVG: "Glen !!" .. "Glen !!" .. "GLEEEEEEN !!" .. "Baby !?"
Davis: "Coach?"

Apparently his new name is Glen 'Don't call me Big Baby or Shrek.......just Glen' Davis

Stan has said he doesn't expect the rookies to play much at all this year because they are months behind where they would normally be. Even if they'd gotten an entire summer in with Stan, we know he'd hardly play them.

I'm curious about this, too. I've heard his name brought up here a million times, even before all this FA madness.

I wouldn't say he's called anything in particular but he hasn't really been wrong on anything but the CP3 trade on draft night (Him and Rev) which i wouldnt say was wrong, i would say hornets backed out on n those guys blew there loads 2 early.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I heard that rumor around quite a few places.

He's saying he was the first to say that Orlando asked for Gasol/Bynum, don't know if it's true or not.

That sounds about right...come on you know Stans 1 year rule. You really think that stubborn guy is gonna change?

That would be stupid, but I can see it happening given Stans hard head.

Wow I hate Stan's stubbornness. I'm surprised he played Courtney Lee that year because I was sure as hell he would give him any PT. I was banking on Liggins being our Tony Allen. :oops:

PG: Nelson-Hughes-Duhon-Pruittt SG: JRich-Redick-Wafer-Liggins SF: Hedo-Harper-QRich PF: Davis-Anderson-Clark C: Howard-Orton-?

idk..and i heard hughes can play pg and svg was impressed by him at practice. i think pruitt will be cut. i also think wit the logjam at sg there will definitely be a deal.. its just a matter of when

i cant say its stupid because we know nothing about harper and how he plays yet

If season started today, the 3 bigs who'd play regularly would be Dwight, Big Baby, Anderson. Baby is backup center for now.

Guessing Orton isn't looking all that great at the moment???

It's unclear who would start at power forward. Hypothetically, Baby could start at the 4 & be DH's backup at center.
