    i'd empty the chamber for suggs, injury risks be damned. when orlando looked like they were going to be out in the play-in, i thought we were going to have a good shot at it. alas...

    this is a place i'm hoping to see the new ownership shine. can you convince him--without flagrantly violating the cba--to forego some current money with the promise that you'll take care of him when possible?

    I seriously don't have any idea how we do it, but I would love to keep Bron, Smart and Luke while also strengthening the roster with some decent 3 & D players. Out of the three, I hope for Smart the most, since I feel he still has a few good years in him and has truly become the soul of this team. Bron, as great as he has been, is on the decline and may just cost too much, and Luke - while he's alsoo been a revelation - will become much more expendable with the full roster (compared tot he other two mentioned players, not that I consider him expendable as such, I absolutely love what he brings to the team).

    Marcus isn’t a great shooter but he is a clutch shooter.They should try to get their 3nD guy through trades so they can use the cap on their own FA
