YOU FORGOT the other catergory: if isiah is gone do you want to keep the same players

Do you really think any fan wants this roster? I would be shocked if anyone on this board could name more than 5 players on the team they'd actually want to keep.

I still wish LB were here with a GM who knew what he was doing. WIth that type of tough-nose backdrop I would keep Lee, Nate, Jamal (sixthman), Balk, Chandler. Dang that's not a lot.

I would keep:

Lee - He can be a serviceable starter or a nice piece off the bench.
Jamal - I think he's coachable and you can use him as a 6th man when he's on. A Vinnie Johnson type.
Balkman - As an 8th or 9th man to come in for 10-15 a game and let him cause havoc. No basketball to speak of but still useful in spurts.
Chandler - Who the hell knows with him at this point? Can't really judge him.

That's it. How pathetic that after 4 years, spending hundreds of millions of dollars, trading away multiple lottery picks and all this roster turnover, you barely have 1 starter to show for it. It's mindboggling.

I bet even the former CBA owners are laughing at us, that Isiah managed to screw us over more than he did them.

I'd add Nate to that list, maybe drop chandler off, maybe expand the list to five... because, you're right, who knows with Chandler? As for Nate, I'm not a fan, but he seems to play hard when given the chance.

Nate is a ball hog loser. If Nate is playing a big role, you're not winning. I give him credit for hustling but for a guy with the ball in his hands that often, he doesn't do nearly enough of the other things to help a team win. He's more interested in chucking up shots at record pace, taking as many buzzer beating half court heaves as possible and practicing new dunks, than improving as a player. He's a loser.

The bolded comment applies to all the players on your list. I didn't say what roles I would take these players at, only that I thought they could contribute. I like Nate fro 15-20 minutes a game, and I think you are wrong about "improving as a player." His averages this past week are 18 points, 4 rebs, 5 assists, 1 TO, on .551 shooting.

I know you like to bring up all the instances that you were right, but I'm willing to bet you've been sour on NAte since day one and aren't going to give him a chance to prove you wrong, which he has been doing since getting an expanded role.
