Hey hey, there we go. So our guaranteed salaries are:Teague/HarrisL.Williams/Morrow/Jenkins/StevensonKorverSmith/I. Johnson/Scott/J.WilliamsHorford/Pachulia/Petro14 roster spots filled with Anderson and James as the two unguaranteed camp invites competing for the 15th spot.

That's assuming that we're not going to make any trades to cut the roster down a player or two. But good looking group that isn't too top heavy or bottom light.

[lethalweapon3]

Good deal! Hope he doesn't fine half of it away this year!~lw3

Hazey likey!

There is a big hole at the wings. Stevenson should be cut. Jenkins and Morrow are redundant and I think someone between J. Williams and Petro should go to make room for K. Benson. Damion James should be definately on the team, if J. Anderson makes the team Morrow should be traded and we definately lack a true starting SF as D. James and Korver are only backup unless Smith plays SF, in that case the team looks better for me. Teague/Harris L.Williams/Morrow/Jenkins/Stevenson Smith/Korver/D. James Horford/I. Johnson/Scott Pachulia/Petro/J. Williams Still I would cut Stevenson for K. Benson, Stevenson should not be in the team.

Team is very deep now. Somebody has to go cough Korver. Hopefully something arises between a Anderson and James head to head battle.

I really gotta adjust my screen settings... I'd have caught it if he had smiled! ~lw5

[PSSSHHHRRR87]

Think Ivan could be involved in a trade?

[capstone21]

We currently have no small forward...Korver is a spot player...that is probably the biggest need.

[DrReality]

Ivan may have some value to a specific team. His history of being consistent is not good. If he doesn't come in with the right attitude ship him out

[BrazilianHawk]

I'm glad. I hope Drew gives him more minutes this season. IVAN is a great addition with a very small contract. As of right now, I see no reason to trade the guy.Welcome back #44!Maybe we could pack some of our many expiring contracts for a decent SF. We don1t really need Korver AND Morrow in the team. Keep one of them and deal the other plus Petro or Williams, maybe a pick for someone like hmmm... dammit, Marvin. I dunno. Prince? Ariza?

I think Ferry has something up his sleeve for SF. Not just one, but a few of those off-season acquisitions will probably be moved for a starting SF, just my gut feeling. And there's Smoove and James who can back up the 3. I'd love to know who Ferry has in his sights for that slot, because you know he's got somebody in mind.

[AnthonyI11]

I'm surprised no other team made a chase at him. They probably knew we would match any offer that wasn't ridiculous. Still got him for very cheap.

[DrReality]

He is not without some risk from his antics. His attitude is both an asset as well as a liability

[TheFuzz]

Good stuff. We need some attitude.

[frankthetank966]

Yes! Glad he is back. He deserved more playing time in the playoffs. We need his grit. He is like a roman. Just not as good

[Swatguy]

I like it. With Ivan and Stevenson we have attitude on the court and the locker room. Al will have to get grown around those guys. We are moving towards a tough team. Josh will be playing some 3. DS can play the 3 and Korver is a gritty man defender at the three. Anderson and James may force a trade but I like DS and Ivan both on this team.
