Agree with most parts.

Joel Brigham is dumb. Same team except for Beas instead of Al? Does he not realize that last year's roster was filled with NBA rejects who aren't likely to land spots on any other team?

Seriously. We have, what, five returning players from last year's team? Yeah, that sounds like the same team to me.

That was my biggest issue with it as well. Poor research. Sad because it would have taken 5 minutes to figure out that there were lots of moves.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

If you remove Joel Brigham's stupid comments (even if you don't agree with the moves, we are not the same team as last year), I think this is the most positive analysis I've read so far. They even gave Darko and Kahn a bit of love which I haven't really seen anywhere else.

Well, I also didn't know if Yannis Koutroupis was speaking in jest be referring to Kahn's first year as "quiet." A pretty silly thing is say if he was serious, considering he was the media's soundbyte whipping boy.

Other than that, is is a pretty fair analysis. I mean what more can you say? Yep, they probably suck, there are some some guys we like, and they have flexibility.
