We're totally gonna win the Super Bowl this year

Shabbaz was listed as having 9.0% body fat at pre-draft workouts, which is pretty high. It looks like he's shed some body fat, so that's good to hear. Would love to see Bennett work out like crazy too and get ripped.

Great to see Bazz putting in the hard yards. I think he's poised for a breakout season, and will oust Bud for back up wing minutes.

The battle of wing minutes is going to be really competitive in training camp. Wiggins, Martin, Brew, Bud, Bazz, Lavine. I could see mo getting minutes playing alongside rubio in actual games as well. It should be fun to see who wins out.

As we've learnt from previous years World, you can never have enough depth at the wing positions! Hopefully we wont need to call Mikael Gelabale mid season.

Actually, Matt, I think it's possible to have too much depth at a position. Even without counting GRIII, Hummel, Mo Williams or Thad Young, we have three roster players at each of the two wing positions. That's too many and I think it's a problem. Trading Barea fails to address the problem. That's why I suspect Flip has some possible deals in mind involving a couple of our current wing players. I suspect that Budinger is the guy who will be dealt.

Rubio will bring the ball up and Pek will be in the paint. That's about it as far as roles go. We have some great young talent with different skill sets. We absolutely should play Bazz and Dieng at the 4, Wiggy at the 2, Benett and Young together.

Bud and Barea would be ideal to ship out as they should see the fewest minutes this year in my opinion. Maybe we could get a couple picks. Also, our young guys are VERY young. If they don't see a lot of time this year, I'm ok with that. We have a nice balanced team right now, ya know, until they all get hurt.

I still kinda like the long shot idea of trading Martin & Bud for someone like Eric Gordon.

I agree Brandon. Toby Breakweater looks like the real deal.
