THUNDERCATS no thanks. He's not a bad player, but he'll probably go undrafted pretty easily. Physically, he's actually very similar to Lazar Hayward (ew..) except he can't shoot (not that Lazar has shown the ability in the NBA, but in college he was heralded as a solid spot up shooter). Thick but undersized and underathletic small forward with tweener skills doesn't translate well to the nba

thunderstruck87 then we'd have our Resident Okie that we have sorely missed for a couple of years :P

PlusMinusGod

Cool - thanks. Who did that?

PlusMinusGod this will make me not as angry over the next few games when serge drops passes thrown his way or pump fakes instead of taking an open jumper

PlusMinusGod Awesome find. Thanks for posting. I wonder if his younger brother is still playing and progressing? Maybe we could pull a Memphis and let one big man brother go only to draft the younger brother?

The_Beard_Knows Time for Darnell to start pushing those start Cole articles

The_Beard_Knows Quick. Have Presti tell Otis Smith have Aldrich-Howard is a fair one-up trade.

An exemption to spend means to spend money you have to come up with. Permission to spend aside, is it smart right now?

Crownme right, which means extra money we didnt have to spend. Maybe it could be used for a trade of some sort for a vet. But its still premature to go there. Still interesting. I look at it as insurance money just in case come playoff time.

D@nny wow... that made me miss that man

D@nny I was at that Atlanta game. Awesome moment indeed

PowerSerge I'd rather keep playing and developing Jackson, but if we do sign somebody, Hinrich would be great.

PowerSerge Wait, Hinrich is still with the Hawks. He played yesterday.

SammyThundererPowerSerge Would love Hinrich if we could get him

dancassidy35SammyThundererPowerSerge Huh? Kirk Hinrich is not a free agent - he's in the last year of a deal paying him about $8 million this year.

SammyThundererPowerSerge

Yeah man, It isn;t like really Jackson's fault we had to throw him in the fire, but it will be good for him man.

PowerSerge Earl Boykins!

PowerSerge i'd just like to get someone that can either score or make plays for insurance, cook is extremely streaky and harden somewhat, if westbrook has an off game in the playoffs and cook and harden don't show up who's going to step up, Nazr? Lazar?

OBoymuzik Shooters are prone to streaks. That's just the nature of being a shooter. Also, FWIW, I think Harden has been our second most reliable player.

SammyThunderer it's tough they've both had their share of poor games this year to me when westbrooks off he plays like an all-star having a bad game, might shoot too much but still attacking, harden plays like a different player and tends to give up when having an off night or not getting calls

hopefully we'll be fine with the roster we have now for a championship run, but I don't think it would hurt to bring someone else in

OBoymuzikSammyThunderer We have the exemption, we might as well use it, even if the guy never sees any real playing time.

OBoymuzikPowerSerge

Lazar is outa here, maybe not today maybe not tomorrow but give me a break.

PowerSerge Craig Smith would have been a perfect acquisition in December. I've always wanted a frontcourt bench scorer like Rhino, Landry, Booker, or even DJ White (though he has sucked on the boards). Smith is rebounding better than usual, limiting his turnovers and scoring a bunch of unassisted baskets this year. No way Portland deals him to OKC, however. oh well

ATH JR Smith? Landry Fields? When do they get back from China?

PowerSerge JR Smith is a great talent but horrible knucklehead. I don't want to see him on our roster.

PowerSergeATH landry fields plays for the knicks, the china players get back sometime in march....theres JR, Aaron Brooks, Wilson Chandler(most likely signing to nuggets) and Kenyon Martin

ILikePancakesPowerSerge I would much rather have a knucklehead like OJ Mayo or even Beasley, JR is too far gone

OBoymuzikATH Oh yeah, I always get Landry Fields and Wilson Chandler mixed up...

PowerSergeOBoymuzikATH id love to pick up aaron brooks

RodneyRosavelRusanWilsonPowerSergeOBoymuzikATH Aaron Brooks would be great for a playoff run on a 1 year deal. Also, in regard to Reggie, he needs to find his 3 pt shot. He had pretty good range in college but I'm not confident any of his shots are going in right now except for his floater

SammyThunderer largely because of this (what i've heard around the big 12 anyways): http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_...

The_Beard_Knows I saw that. So he'll take some babysitting. It does seem like he's a genuinely good kid. Seems sensible to take a flyer in the late first for that kind of talent.

SammyThundererThe_Beard_Knows agreed. It's a relatively humongous flyer, but if we can wait 30 years for Pleiss to come over or take Byron Mullens, whose issue was not working hard (which i feel is worse than legal issues and/ or other mental problems), then we can dang sure take a run at this guy. He's frikkin ridiculous

SammyThundererThe_Beard_Knows and really, I think his fight against the anxiety issues shows some pretty solid character. In the right environment (ie Loud City), we could be looking at the steal of the century. I mean dude's not even ranked in a lot of people's top 100 and is 47 in the sophomore class. Getting him in the late second would be awesome
