    Assuming we are sending Olbrecht, Anderson and I.C. (Icey?) to the Vipers, we have a roster of:

    Center - Howard, Asik and Smith
    PF - D-Mo and T-Jo
    SF - Parsons and Casspi
    SG - Harden and Garcia
    PG - Lin and P-Bev

    That's 11 ... who will the 12th player be?

    why would we send Anderson to the Vipers? He isn't getting much better at this stage in his career. But I see one of Anderson or Olbrecht getting cut so we have the necessary cap on the tenth

    Apparently Casspi is more of a four, a stretch four.

    You are right. We need to trade Anderson for a draft choice if possible. If so, that means we can add two more players.

    Yeah. Makes me think we're still going after Corey Brewer (or any wing defender) with the Room Exception.

    I'm all in on delfino with the exception if he will agree to it. Waive Anderson and sign Camby after he gets bought out as insurance in case we trade Asik

    as we stand we have 14 currently under on the roster:

    Lin / Bev / Canaan
    Harden / Anderson
    Parsons / Cisco / Omri / Covington
    DMo / TJones
    Howard / Asik / Ohlbrecht

    I'm guessing Canaan, Covington and Ohlbrecht will spend a lot of time at Rio Grand Valley.

    I hope the last roster spot goes to a sharp shooting 2 guard that can play some defense. Boobie Gibson is a great 3pt shooter but I'm not sure about his defense.
