This is a tough one...
The guys most of us would like to see go ain’t goin’ nowhere [Steph, James], although I would keep Steph no matter what. I here a lot of clamoring for Q-Rich to get missing, but I don’t think he’s shown us his true shooting game yet, and I think we’ll like to see him light it up. Malik Rose has a desirable contract, so we can’t just cut him, and that goes for the other desirable contracts as well. If I understand it correctly, we can dress 12 and roster 15, with 3 deactivated. If that’s the case, the answer is clear, we keep them all!!
The rotation, however, will be a little easier to determine. Here’s my thoughts on that:
1) Marbury, Crawford, Robinson
2) Francis, Q-Rich, Marbury, Collins, Robinson
3) Jeffries, Balkman, J. Rose
4) Frye, Lee, Jeffries, Taylor, M. Rose
5) Curry, James, Frye
Naturally, some of these guys are interchangeable [Q-Rich, J. Rose, Jeffries, Frye, Marbury, Francis, etc.]. And, of course, playing time will be determined by production, with some continuity with some players.
As to who gets deactivated, some guys will make that choice easy [Jerome James comes to mind]. Qyntel Woods signing would change that, in which case I would seriously consider eating Jerome James contract. But since he is the only true backup center, I’d let Mo Taylor go.
Udoka is simply the odd man out. Sorry!!
The fact that Larry Frontrunner is white had nothing to do with why he and Steph clashed. The fact that Larry Frontrunner trashed him in the papers is. If Steph has a problem with white coaches, he’s an idiot. That would mean he has a problem with white authority figures, and he’s in the wrong country for that trash. He’d better get traded to the ABA [African Basketball Association].
Relax, I’m a black man!!
