We need someone who can handle the 4 if we trade Smoove. Marvin, Tayshaun, and Howard - No way they can do it. Maxiell is interesting though. He's got a shot to be a double double type guy with a 1.5 blocks a night. ASG has just messed EVERYTHING up. This looks good: Bibby/Law/Speedy JJ/Mo Evans/ Marvin/ D. Brown Smoove/Zaza Horf/Brown/Morris But doesnt sound likely anymore. Too bad b/c that would be a quality squad

Thats terrible depth with the bigs. We need to sign Kwame as the Backup C. He along with R. Morris, who Sekou says we are signing soon, sounds great to me. Morris alone isnt good enough IMO though.

Sign the Browns(Kwame and Devin) and Smoove and lets get ready for the season. I think we'll have a great D next yr.

Maybe I didnt watch Evans close enough, but he seems like a quality player? What does he lack that Chillz was giving us besides rebounding(Hes a better defender, which more than makes up for rebounding to me)? What makes him a downgrade? He could definitely put up 11 points a night if given Chillz minutes, what Chillz was giving us. What makes him worse? But going along with what you said(Adding Vujacic and Kwame along with Evans), Id view this as a successful offseason: Bibby/Acie/Clanxton JJ/Sasha/West Marv/Mo Evans Smoove/Horf Horf/Kwame/Zaza

Quote: Maurice Evans is lame, he doesn't produce many wins at all. Looking at his Wins Produced per 48 it is roughly 0.016...average is 0.1. He is not going to help this team much at all, but I have a feeling this is who the ASG is going to pawn off on us as our replacement even though its clearly a downgrade. He'll probably give similar numbers to what Chillz gave us if he plays 30 min a night. Evans isnt the rebounder Chillz is, but he is a better defender. Hopefully this is the 1st of about 4 signings.

Quote: cant really get excited over evans coming to ATL but would probably help the team I guess. He does play good in atlanta though since his career high of 27 was played against us this year. Why cant you get excited? If given the same minutes, he'll basically replace Chillz numbers...For about 1/3 the cost.

So he called out Marv and Chillz too? Good.

When Shell got his one chance to play JO in the post tonight, he didnt give up a hoop...Looked 1003294503245 times better than Z.

Z isnt even playing material...He should be the 3rd C at best on an NBA team.

Just like Harrington. I HATE Zaza. He is the worst defender in the entire Frickin' league. Shell comes in at C, no more layops... 3 or 4 min later Z comes in and the layup drill starts over again. Z SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woody KILLS Shell for 1 defensive laps, yet he plays Z through A TON of them every game

subtraction JUST LIKE Al Harrington. What a pathetic defender! Shell comes in at C, the D goes up A LOT...No more layups. Z comes in, time for the layup drill ALL OVER again.

Boy, we could sure use Oden. Zaza is a frickin' ghost on D...F'n pathetic.

After watching, here are my thoughts: Marvin really played well that 1st half...He only ended up with 10(in the 1st half), but he could have (and probably should have had) had 15-17. Now, why does he fade the 2nd half? Smoove is a beast! I wish Salim would get more time at PG...He is playing a lot more under control now. As much as I dislike Z, he is playing some ball right now!! Shell needs to get more PT...He is the only one out there setting the hard picks, and doing much of the dirty work. If Z keeps playing like he is(Ill believe it when I see it), then that is the only excuse that Shell should be on the bench. Lue is useless...worse than useless when he cant knockdown shots.

Hopefully they get yesterdays game up soon...I want to see Smoove's performance!

Shell is not too small to play the 5 MOST nights. Smoove gives us the shot blocking presence, and Shell would be the great position defender we need down low. The only nights he could not play there regularly are when we play Shaq and Yao.
