It's going to drive me to drink. Pretty much no news today either except a bunch of the signings we already knew about were made official. Hey, who wants to have an internet party to watch summer league on webcast tomorrow? Why's the beer gone? Sigh. Frustrated with the total lack of madness. It’s going to drive me to drink.

Why’s the beer gone?

Sigh.

If for no other reason than all the good people will be gone. Yeah, they're talking to Posey and Hayes, blah, blah. Both are 3s, then we really need 4s or 5s. We can already re-sign Pargo, Wells, and Bowen without impacting the cap. Same for Anderson, but the only thing I've heard about him is that he's worked out for the Celtics. Now I've heard the financial arguments that we should let Pargo go so we can play James. I mean, why pay the guy $6 mil to ride the end of our bench and then give JP a big payday on top of that? As much as I like Pargo, I have to agree with that. And yes, they did look pretty damn good last year, as is. Which means to improve, we need a more consistent big man or instant offense off the bench. Could it be, if they're interested in the latter, that Ricky Davis would be an option? The question is how would he like being a bench player? Who knows. Yeah, I really thought they would have moved by now. If for no other reason than all the good people will be gone.

Good players on bad teams seem to be signing on to mediocre teams, and the elite teams (i.e. Western Conference playoff teams) haven't really improved much either, in my opinion. In retrospect, doesn't adding Darrell Arthur (who could play JuJu freshman minutes) provide us with some option in the future at a reasonable price? Since the media's professed their love for Arthur's potential, I've been a bit iffy over the organizations movements. Come on now.
