Interesting to see if his addition means someone else is moving.

PHENOMINAL! True story, Adrien briefly worked the door with me at a for-profit house party when I was at Uconn. Well, it was more like me and a friend(who he knew) worked the door while he stood behind us and BS'ed with my friend, but I count it.

[Catch 22]

I remember him from UConn...tough, can rebound, hustles, and can go up strong downlow with the ball. I always thought that he could be a decent backup PF in the league. I think he had a brief stint with the Rockets last year. I hope he can play well enough to stick with us. I'm sure he'll bring more than Warrick.

No offense to Adrien, but Kenyon Martin or Troy Murphy would have been better pick-ups.

No offense to Kenyon Martin or Troy Murphy, but they're over the hill husks of their former selves and I think the entire fanbase would rather get excited over the idea of a young guy getting a chance to succeed instead of seeing another Larry Hughes or Darius Miles headline.

It absolutely could be because I'd be hard pressed to name what Haywood would have done so poorly that would justify a Diop start. Or maybe they're really unhappy with the bigs they have (Mullens' continued lack of defensive awareness) and are looking for another option to help Biyombo and Haywood? Either way, a change of some type looks to be in the works.

We don't have any rebounding guys at all.

The best three rebounders on the team are MKG, Kemba, and Henderson. That simply can't continue.

If by that you mean Bismack, Haywood, and Mullens then you're right

I was surprised Adrian was cut so early in training camp, he's a guy who I'll certainly fill a need for us in terms of rebounding. He's already had some
Mister games in the d league: 25 points and 14 rebounds last week against a team with perry jones and Jeremy lamb. This does also suggest a trade is coming, mate with Diop... Hey, we can only dream! What does this day about Halkim Warrick's place in the team?
