Observer--Yeah, what khans said.

What Observer said

all goes back to Lip's point concerning our pathetic bench

Exactly. We point fingers at poor late game execution by our starters, but if OUR lackluster bench can maintain the leads or forbid giving us a cushion....the late stress heroics are not as needed. What needs to be addressed and I am concerned to see is that Adelman has done nothing in respect to adjusting the lineup now that we have Luc. Brewer is a energy guy, needs to come in and spark our bench, and compete against fellow 2nd team players. Barea needs to be gone, same with Shved...and Dante at this point. The game and team coaching staff needs to adjust and the bench issues have been around since the first weeks of the season. Thats on the Coaches and GM.

I would like for us to go after:

Gary Neal in MIL plus future 2nd. for Shved and Cunningham

Bayless and Ed Davis in MEM for Barea plus future.

Gives us a combo of Bayless, Neal, Brewer, Davis and Turiaf as a bench plus recooping Budinger and Dieng.

What a dreamer!

Neal should be very available right now. Him and Larry Sanders got into it after a game the other night. Neal told Sanders that he didn't earn his money or something similar to that. Neal would be a big upgrade for our bench and isn't that expensive either.
