I feel better about our fanbase when I visit any other forum. Our posters are great

Except for the "Stuckey for Harden" Pistons right?

I was talking about the genius that goes on over on the Pistons' board. They proposed a Stuckey for Harden deal and there was a huge, serious thread about it.

like harden is even close to good enough to be worth a stud like stuckey!

Uh, so, um. Free agent bigs? Preferably ones with stretch arms like Dhalsim so that they can guard the corner 3?

Kembastockton · Post #108 » by **Kembastockton** » Sat Jan 5, 2013 2:15 pm

Our problems guarding the three are because our guys cheat off their men to help defend the paint. That is a problem that will get better as our front court improves defensively. Teams were able to do that to us successfully in the past, because our guys couldn't shoot. Hopefully that problem is getting better.

Cavs have waived Samardo Samuels. Hope the #Bobcats give him a look. Strength to bang with 5s, good hands and can hit the midrange shot.

He's garbage, but I wouldn't mind us giving him a ten-day contract.

Well we need some garbage bodies. Our only 7 footers are injured or can't play more than 20 minutes a night.

As weak as our frontcourt has been Samardo Samuels would probably look like a godsend if we give him 20 minutes compared to the production that we have been getting. Within saying that I also want to say that Samuels is trash before any of you take it the wrong way. I'm more interested in trying out Sean Williams with a 10-day contract.

The D League Showcase begins today. For the next 4 days all 16 D League teams will play games in Reno, with talent scouts from the NBA on hand.

With Tyrus back, Warrick and Adrien in the fold and Mully returning, plus Haywood and Biz, maybe we don't need another big . . . but I think we do! With guys like Arinze Onuaku, Tim Ohlbrecht, Jerome Jordan, Keith Benson, Henry Sims, and more to consider, and 10 day contracts starting Jan 10, might as well check some of these guys out. Or, if we want to consider an extra shooter, maybe look at Carl Landry's brother Marcus, shooting 48% on 89 3pters , or Jrue Holiday's bro, Justin, a 45% 3pt shooter.

Here's a link to the website where you can see prospect lists and watch all the games live on youtube feeds or see highlights. http://www.nba.com/dleague/prospectwatch/

I'm liking what I'm seeing from Hassan Whiteside right now. He looks huge out there, put on a lot of muscle and weight since college.

...but we don't even give Adrien minutes despite how solid he's looked. During this developmental stage I doubt that we'd get a good enough look at a D-League'r to make it worthwhile. We have too many projects of our own already.

Snidely FC · Post #115 » by **Snidely FC** » Mon Jan 7, 2013 8:40 pm

Whiteside put up 19 pts & 17 rbs in 19 mins in that game. NBDL lists him at 7' 260 which means he's put on like30 lbs since leaving SAC. I don't see where having an extra 7 footer around could hurt. Teams like OKC, for instance, sign a Daniel Orton, because he's big with potential, and then just repeatedly assign him to the D League in order to get playing time. Rules changed this year allowing as many assignments/recalls as a team wants. GS regualarly sends Tyler & Bazemore to their affiliate then pulls them back for some time with the big team. Not sure what the downside is. Maybe that doesn't work for us if we don't have a D League affiliate?

Right on. He might can be Bustmack insurance since Mullens isn't panning out with a little bit of consistency like I expected this year. Besides, I have a feeling that Haywood will be hampered with injuries the last couple months of the season.

17 rebounds in 19 minutes is absolutely insane, even in the d league. if this was 2k12 I'd have him on my lineup immediately

Don't forget the 5 blocks in that span as well.

5 blocks is good but we've got 2 guys on the roster who can do that any given night, also I didn't even know he had those blocks, I just skimmed the post
