I'm suprised nobody has Houston. I'm not saying he will last the year but doesnt anyone see him coming into camp at least able to play?

I threw him in there for 15mins a game if we don't improve the SG position. Any more than would land him back on the IR for the entire season. He's had all this time to rest his knees so he should be ready. the key would be to keep him under 19mins. We have t get something out of his $20mil per year!

damn I forgot about Big Z! let me edit my lineups!

Minny getting Greg Oden is unrealistic b/c they are gonna change the age limit for NBA players.

I think things became pretty clear when Isiah said that he was going into next see without expecting to have Allan Houston playing. He looks like he's having a Jamal Mashburn type of recovery. I think the most optimistic scenario imaginable is that he could handle playing 15 mpg for the rest of his contract.

Realistic:
K. Thomas
M.Rose
T. Thomas
Crawford
Marbury

Dream:
Petro
Taft
L.Odom
J. Johnson
Marbury

Bench: Crawford,Ariza,JYD,Butler,M. Rose

yup..it's only a dream

Why do people keep saying Joe Johnson? Do you realize we have absolutely no shot at him whatsoever? He's going to command a ton of money, he has earned it. He plays defense, is a terrific passer, shooter, is unselfish, knows how to actually play and is clutch. Can you explain to me what the Suns would take from us that would make up for him? Absolutely NOTHING, unless we won the lottery. And if we did that, I say keep the pick instead and just draft Bogut.

Dream, slightly more realistic than getting KG, but still, a dream:

Marbury, Nate Rob (at 30)
Jalen Rose (for Penny), Jamal
Ariza, Jalen plays some, JYD
Warrick (at 8), Sweetney, Malik
Zydrunas (for Kurt, spurs 2k6 pick), Chris Andersen (full MLE)

IR: TT (trade bait), Mo T, Houston.


Prediction of what will actually be:

Marbury, Damon Stoudamire
Jamal, Julius Hodge at 30
TT, Ariza
Taft (at 8), Sweets, Malik
Kurt (never leaving, folks), Mo T

Sigh.

I wouldn't even MIND the prediction, if they could JUST SIGN CHRIS ANDERSEN so we have one legit center somewhere on the roster!

Why Stoudamire?!? Isiah picked him a long time ago. So? This team definitely doesn't need him at any price, even free. Any PG we can take with our 2nd roung pick is good enough to back up Steph. Like he will play a lot of minutes... No Stoudamire!

several papers have mentioned him as a possibility, Damon has said he would love to play for Zeke, he's going to be dirt cheap, Zeke always likes small PGs, and MOST importantly, guess who his agent is?

Aaron Goodwin.

I just feel this happening. I think Zeke is going to address the need for a long SG in the draft and possibly a project big like Blatche with the later picks.

Damon would have helped us this year.. especially late in games. Do I want to target him? No, but some 2nd round player from CBB isnt as good as a guy like Damon to backup PG. He can score, handle, shoot, score and score.
