This.

I am definitely for bringing in Jeffries. I just don't understand why we cut Brewer over someone like Mason. Not that it really matters though, doubt Copstache would have given him a decent shot at a rotation spot.

Brewer makes 3.7 mil while mason makes 1.4

Is that an issue at this point in the season or does that no longer matter?

Mason seems like the perfect person to be cut from the team. I thought Brewers defense was an asset too, a little confused but whatever.

Yeap, thats pretty much it. What i don't get is why wouldn't they go after Troy Murphy or Mike Bibby? Murphy is ++ on D and can rebound and Bibby can be super useful for a playoff run. With 13m+ trade exception we can offer them most money and keep them away from Bos\Mia. which is equally important imo,

Would much rather Billups + Toney than Bibby but that's me. I think Murphy would be a perfect fit with his rebounding and ability to stretch the floor. Why did we just buy out Kelenna too?

Murphy sucks at defense how is he a ++?

I'd take him for rebounding ldo but he does suck at D.

Gadzuric a possibility if he is bought out.

Looks like Derrick Brown (Bobcats) is about to be signed. Athletic wing with raw potential. Meh, would rather have a big.

Nothing to get excited about, he doesn't do anything particularly well, needs to find a niche. Almost like another Balkman.

Low expectations for tonight but excited for the game nonetheless.

Would be nice to have Jeffries as a tall slightly warm body for this game.

Good start, especially defensively/rebounding.

pretty hard to win when howard can basically do what he wants

also tough to win when anthony carter/bill walker/sheldon williams are getting heavy minutes

wow, pretty awesome 2nd Q

the huge difference melo seems to make is amare seems to take a lot less long jumpers and gets the ball closer to the rim a lot

if we can keep playing this well when melo isnt at his best were pretty scary when melo starts to turn it on

Three point shooting was beyond atrocious. Bad loss.

Meh...we shot poorly, they shot lights out in the 4th. Howard manhandled us and our lack of size was really exposed (although he seemed to get away with a few offensive fouls). All in all I thought they competed hard, and if we make a few more shots it becomes a winnable game. Not too upset about this one.

Also, Toney Douglass is not bad at all wtf? He just had a bad night.
