I am ecstatic that we didn't go after mutumbo. He is not a part of a 6-8 year title run, which is what we have now. Going after 37-40 year olds is silly.

Losing buckner doesn't hurt us IF TAW and/or Griffin come back. If they don't then we need to sign someone. Rashard makes a huge difference.

Also this team needs to internally get better on defense, not try to find a "defensive presence" out there. Raef is still only the what, second, third best shot-blocker? What we need is better team and especially perimeter defense. We also need esch and bradley to realize that if they don't knock someone's head off, they are useless to this team.

I would just as soon play wang at center if they aren't going to get tougher there.
