It's clear that we need something to save our season, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if managment didn't make a move. I want us to, we definitely need a shakeup, but I don't see anything major happening.

I don't think anyone is expecting it, really.

Outside of hoping that RJ gets traded for anything with a pulse, I think we stand pat. I think Pop will just use the break to figure things out internally and tinker with lineups here and there. I am hoping that Mason gets some more burn. Hopefully TP comes back less hobbled.

I'm not expecting a big blockbuster trade, but I do hope the Spurs make a small trade. Hopefully bringing in a frontcourt player or a SF/PF type.

I was thinking about our defense. With David, we were huge. When he retired and Bowen came, we were dirty. What are we now? We're not long. Not big, Not physical. Not dirty. And we're not even smart.

We're not physical at all on D, that's what hurts us the most. Plus, our rotations are way too slow. Timmy has slipped defensively as well. When he was at his peak he covered a lot of other player's deficiencies.

Denver are very physical on D. This is what I think will help them in the playoffs.
