I'm excited about Mayo and his star quality. It looks good at the 1-3 with Conley and Lowery, Mayo and Rudy Gay. I hate to lose Miller, just like I did to see Battier go.
We need to get a PF in free agency unless Arthur can be the guy regardless of his alledged kidney problem. With 9 Million coming of the books with kwame's contract expiring. We need to use Conley Mayo and Gay to help influence someon like Okafor or Josh Smith to come to Beale St.
Marc Gasol is the same height as Pau but wieghs 270 lbs. He's supposed to be tougher than Pau (God let's hope so) but with not quite as much offense. I'll take it.
Here are the dead weight details. Our wasted salary went up bigtime. Here's hoping Walker gets his crap together. Everyone though the Custodian's contract was bad, look at what walker's due on the remainder of his.
