Game 8: Los Angeles (1-6) vs New Orleans (6-0)

[kombayn]

When is it time to panic about winning 10 games this year? Neil Olshey needs to ship out the veterans before the trading deadline. Baron Davis & Chris Kaman are our best assets and that's sad. Randy Foye, Ryan Gomes & Brian Cook were terrible signings for our bench. They need to go as soon as possible. These are the only players I would keep right now

PG - E. Bledsoe/(Sign D-League PG or trade for PG?)
SG - E. Gordon/W. Warren
SF - A. Aminu/R. Butler
PF - B. Griffin/C. Smith
C - D. Jordan/J. Collins

Out of respect I would try to trade Butler to a playoff team.

But right now I like Warren & Smith to go with our young core. Vinny needs to win some games though, otherwise could Sterling actually get a trigger finger for our Coach and GM?

What a frustrating loss, im gonna be interested to see how our centers go without Kaman, maybe a sign whether we'd cope or not if we traded Kaman

good for Aminu to get that 20 and 8, and not attempting a hell of a lot of shots

how was Baron for the few minutes he played? did he look ANY better?

Down goes the next guy.

Without any outside shooting and Kaman missing the game as well it wasn't all that hard for NO to win that one.

I really hope EJ will be back soon and we'll need another big body, with Kaman out for the next 2 - 3 weeks.

Earl Barron? He sucks but he can score some pts and grab rebounds.

Robert Swift might also be searching for a job...

For all of you who didn't follow the Sonics about 3 - 5 years ago, he're some nice picture of Swift.

Probably one of the most clueless guys I've seen on the court the past 5 seasons. /Dear god that was awful.
