Ok as of right we have exactly 15 men on the roster thats including Hudson an un-signed draft pick. Also Dan Dickau ::) Is here for Training camp as well. What foresee happening is that Dickau gets cut we end up sending Hudson To the D-League, and letting Eddie and Daniels handle to Bring the ball up. Now with Tony Allen I am not so quick to give up on the guy. Last year was suppose to be his year, but it was his first year fully healthy. His numbers were not all that bad for 19 mins. a game his AVG. was 7.8 ppg and 1.2 steals per game. So I can see us holding on at least till All-Star Break. Why because he could actually bring something to the table. We all looked at him saying well you better replace Posey or else you suck. Well thats tough because I think everyone knows Tony get shoot an outside shot to save his life. So i think we kinda gave him a unfair chance. I mean he has some potential to be a decent defender and can drive to the cup. If they would just really work hard with him this Training camp then he could turn out to be a really big key off the bench. So i see him going out of control to the rim last year if they could just work on him containing himself he would be fine. I mean when he replaced Paul the year Paul got hurt he was playing great! Everyone was on the Tony Allen Express! I really think people are just looking for to much from Tony and i really really think he is going to have a bounce back year this year, and by all means if he is not showing up by around all-star break and we can get some vet expiring for him then fine, but i really think he could be a key Enegry guy for us this year, just because we wont look for him to be THE GUY off the bench for us! Sorry for the Long post just was thinking about it!

I agree with you, TA isn't THAT bad. He is defenitley worth holding on until the deadline.

PLEEEEASE put spaces next time you post something like this my head is killing me.

Well, he's in the NBA, so he can't be "that bad", but for an NBA player he pretty awful. I'm sorry, but the guy has some skills but he has zero basketball IQ. It's get the ball, put your head down and go to the basket. He's a turnover waiting to happen and to be honest, I don't understand why people think he's such a good defender. Again, due to he low understanding of the game, he continues to fall for up fakes and commit stupid fouls. I don't reaaly care if he stays or goes as I don't see him playing or even dressing for most of the games.
