The team has a lot of young talent who seems to have already made some strides, and Afflalo & Nelson are very solid players. Or maybe it's a dumb question, and you want to see them win (make the playoffs) this year. The team may not has a young guy with superstar potential, but it has a handful of potential future all-stars. I think that last big piece from that draft wouldn't hurt though.

A lot of overreacting here. They want big numbers and elite coaching right away.

You guys think Memphis would be interested in Hedo? As bad as he is, he is still a career 39% 3-point shooter and Memphis needs that A LOT.

It would appear that someone must be interested in him, since he's still on our roster. Memphis could work.

They shot 8/15 tonight and Hollinger is way too smart to trade for someone like Hedo when he knows he can probably get him for free after a buyout in March. Their problem is more that their perimeter guys don't get to the line, and Turkoglu doesn't help there.

I agree in principle, but when is the last time Prince and Miller had a healthy season? When one of them goes down, it will be the same old story of clogged lane again. I guess timing would play a crucial role.

I'm just messing around. With all the recent arguing I had to chime in. Plus I thought it was hillarious when my phone autocorrected Harkless to harmless.

I am looking forward to Harris coming back though, and am also impressed with Nicholson 2 games in. He may have more rebounds then all of last season already

Is Harris playing, I am under the impression he is going to be out the whole first week. Rob is going to be cautious with injuries.

Damn, MCW with a near quadruple double against the Heat in his first game. What a massive debut.

Jordan Brand is still a part of Nike.

When did this signing happen? Within this week?

Some early PER36 numbers:

Harkless: 13.4PPG (+2PPG), 1.7RPG(-4.3RPG), 0.8SPG (-0.8SPG)
Nelson: 15PPG/7.5APG, 4.5RPG(+0.7RPG) (almost exactly what it was last year)
Vucevic: 14.2PPG/12.3RPG(-0.6RPG), 1.9BPG(+0.8BPG)
Afflalo: 18.5PPG(+2PPG), 6RPG(+2.3RPG), 3APG (-0.2APG)
Oladipo: 15.9PPG/3.7APG/5.5RPG

Via Neon:

Nicholson: 29.4PPG/8.5Fouls/10.4RPG/2.8 3PA

Afflalo taking 1 more 3 and 2 more 2pointers a game from last season. Harkless also taking 2 more shots a game. Nelson and Vuc seem stable.

Will try and update these every two weeks or so to watch how things change and see how players are progressing, especially Harkless, Harris, Vuc, and Oladipo.

What? No EARLY Andrew Nicholson and his 29.4ppg 10.4rpg 8.5fpg? This is inexcusable....

I feel like Kyler is trolling me on twitter.

His top 3 surprises last night were Dwight getting 24 rebounds (which wasn't even correct), KD scoring 42 (happens plenty), and Lillard's 32 points.

I asked him if MCW's best debut of all time (arguably) was a surprise and he said...

A little.
