I noticed Kevin Love is trying out. Was Big Al invited? If not, why not, especially given the dearth of big men on the team.

  Judging on who's in camp, maybe they have no idea what to look for in a big man. Or, maybe there's some international rule that disallows good low post play.

  If you could clone Rondo, most of the lineups he was in last night would get beat handily by Rondo/PP/RA/KG playing 4v5.

maybe they don't want guys who get injured a ton and don't play defense?
