He’s the perfect back up 2 guard who is a sharpshooter and a defensive wiz. If frank comes along this year, frank and Reggie would lock down on the defensive end for our second unit.

I’m really hoping Fiz can build a winning culture we need stability from a coaching standpoint. Since JVG it’s been a revolving door of coaches. How can you build a winning culture when we have a new system in place every 2 years.

I feel we finally have a REAL team that’s deep. Mitch,Knox,DsJr,Randal all have star potential I’ll add RJ to the list as well after we see him play vs NBA competition. I see him as a stronger derozen.

I think Knox is going to break out this year or next.

When you have backups like Morris,Payton,Frank,Gibson,Portis,Dot,trier, bullock, Ellington your not giving opponents a break anyone on our lineup can have a great game and effect the outcome of the game.

This team should make the playoffs

This team "Could" make the playoffs. I agree with what your saying. We have some real deep blue chippers on the team. Still a very young core.
Many ways to measure things inside a season. We are just not privy to much of it. 82 games broken into increments and evaluated would be interesting. What is the focus for some players game to game. Winning or losing is a symptom of organizational process.
If you extract Mills, does the flood gates of FA's happen? Is Dolan really day to day influencing players to come or not? Im Mills was gone, what would change? Naturally over time there is change of course happens all the time, but from an organizational directive what process is there now, where does it go, and what influences it.
At some point you make trades, at some point FA's see attractive talent. .

Perry Mills is a genius!

Sorry - none of the guys we signed are locked in past this year, with the exception of Randle.

Of everything to criticize, this I think is lame. We did the guy a solid favor - we felt obligated after agreeing to a deal.

I hate seeing the way the NFL works, where players there are treated like scrap meat - injured, jettisoned. Next man up.

Our front office, I think, did the right thing to a player who needs to rehab. We obviously like him, and if he recovers, we get a nice player at a discount.

But 2nd year is team option? We need to jettison someone, we can.

Agree. Especially with the part not becoming like the NFL. I thought I was the only one bothered by how the NFL treats it's (non-marquee) players.
