Our bench is pure garbage and we are going nowhere with McGrady, Stackhouse, Zaza until Hinrich is back...


IMO, it would mean that Benson, Rolle and Sy are already in the roster (they have contract signed, even if not guaranteed), so Drew knows their values.
He just let Wanamaker and Sloan play more to have a chance to see anything that could justify cutting a player to keep them.

I am not sure that we can consider Stackhouse as a keeper.
I updated the salaries information, and if Pargo is a keeper, then Stackhouse is not.

We are just under the tax threshold with :
Joe, Josh, Al, Marvin, Hinrich, Zaza, Teague, Collins, McGrady, Radmanovic, Sy, Rolle, Benson , Pargo

and Pargo is a keeper is Teague is seriously injured.

No He's probably won't play in the preseason game as he shouldn't, but should be ready for the opener vs the Nets. And if not then he'll return soon anyway.

No Rolle or Benson must mean both are safe. Wanamaker is cutting himself. This team will have to win ugly, which means defense because they are far from explosive and a offensive juggernaut.

Ivan Johnson, Ivan Johnson, Ivan Johnson...

He is what the DL is supposed to be about.

I think Rolle and Wanamaker get cut. I don't see how we keep Stack.

Pape and Benson get a D League assignment.

13 on opening night

Jeff/Sloan/Pargo
Joe/Willie Green/
Marvin/T-Mac/Rad
Josh/Ivan
Horford/Zaza/Collins
