outstanding "state of the roster address" on TBW

They've been putting out great stuff this season. Thanks for the link

within the humor/hyperbole of the article is one inescapable conclusion, with which i agree...

evans at SG > evans at SF

which means...EG you go sit over there till i call you

In talking about Salmons

I wouldn’t have minded this signing as much if it was for the minimum, but if you combine his salary with Fredette’s we could have retained Anthony Morrow with whom Anthony Davis and Tyreke Evans had great chemistry, provided a deadly shot, had some backcourt length and was clearly a great bench/veteran presence.

Overall a good article, but this is incorrect because you can't add 2 guy's salaries together and say we had that much available. Our biggest exception available was the $2.7 million Cap Room MLE. It wasn't Morrow vs. Salmons/Jimmer, it was Morrow vs. Asik, and you choose Asik every time in that case.

I affectionately call him, "My Chemical Small Forward" because he looks like he was in that band. If Rivers was the Bud Light to Tyreke’s Budweiser (although, Tyreke is a much better beer than that, actually maybe he’s a cognac), Babbitt is the Michelob Ultra to Ryan Anderson’s Michelob AmberBock.

This was an enjoyable read. His breakdown of contribution by each player is pretty spot on; however, I don't get the need for another 2...that's the last thing on earth that we need.

The best quote was:

Alexis Ajinça

If Ajinça could learn to not foul, he’d be a very solid bench producer for us.

He is slow, but he has great length. He’s a good rebounder, has a nice jumper and post arsenal and is a good passer. It’s a shame he gets 3 fouls during player introductions.

I actually think he looks a lot like Judge Reinhold if he ate one of the growth mushrooms from Super Mario Brothers. I wish they’d play the Beverly Hills Cop theme when he scores instead of the Turkish national anthem.
