Please tell me that we made these picks for another team. If we don't re-sign Green, We traded Perk for Fab Melo.

we didn't trade Perk - we gave him away.

I can live with Sullinger but here's the question: Brandon Bass proved to be an excellent fit and he brings the same things that Sullinger does and he's proven in this system. Melo provides defense, shot, blocking and length, the same things that Stiemsma brings and he's proven in this system.

Seems like DA has decided to let Bass and Stiemsma walk...that I have a problem with.

I think that's a bad assumption that they'll walk.

rumor is Bass in a S&T for Mayo which makes sense if Ray leaves.  Steimsma is a bargain deal and would be the back up center ahead of whoever they sign as a starter (because it just can't be Melo)

where is this rumor? I'd love that.
Grab a few boards, keep the TO's under 14, close out on shooters and we'll win.

didn't miss him or JO ............he'll be available soon I'm sure ..after that awesome performance against the heat  ::)....so maybe we can get him back for less than he would have sighned for originally.

J. Johnson is looking like he is a big part of the puzzle. he is perry jones without the knee issues.

He's really not, though. Yes, he's long and athletic like PJ3, but he has a fraction of the overall talent and skill-set. We will regret this a few years down the line, if not sooner.

Yeah, Derek Fisher's teams too.  And more often. Maybe we should sign him.   ::)
