I kind of hope this board becomes a proxy for online battles between Big Blue Nation and Big Lin Nation.

Then again, that would probably mean that Lin is playing terrible, so I guess I take that back.

I'm pretty excited about this signing, at least as excited as you can get about an undrafted rookie who will be our 14th man and most likely spend part of the season in the d-league. He has good size for his position and potential and that is all you can ask for in this situation. Also makes it very easy to move Roberts mid-season to a team that finds itself in need of a vet backup pg. Or to cut ties with PJ.

In honor of being a twin and also my new favorite tv show, his thread needs a Twin Peaks themed name.

no it is not.

this is the SG brother, the one who is supposed to be the better shooter, & also the one who hit the clutch shots in the tourney.

but he is also considered not as good as his brother, largely because his brother is a PG & has great size for that position.

if Aaron can develop PG skills this could be a steal.

Couple minutes after this signing I found an updated 2K roster featuring a detailed create-a-player Harrison. Crazy.

They (Cho, Clifford, & Ewing) had their minds made up that Aaron Harrison was going to make the roster. His summer league play wasn't really impressive, but they made a point to give glowing reviews about him every chance they got. I don't dislike the signing, but I hope they're planning on adding another solid wing to the depth chart

Great, another wasted roster spot on one of Clifford's coachs pets.

With only one roster spot left, I'm inclined to think they'll add another big. Especially with Cho implying Marvin will move back to SF.

Surprisingly sensible move by the Hornets - use your end of bench spot to develop an intriguing rook rather than hire an overweight, elderly mercenary to steal minutes and cripple player development.

Best thing about this signing is that it hopefully indicates a move to get rid of some of our other dead wood is upcoming.

I thought he played well enough and showed enough potential to make the team. We will see what happens but I believe he will be stashed on the d-league most of the year.

They did it with Southerland and Higg...nevermind, can't even type it.
