That is what training camp and preseason exist

Somebody who might be good played in China

Can he play C? Maybe sign him for the room exception? He'd be an upgrade over Sacre and Kelly.

Is Mike Penberthy coming back too? He was the white Steve Kerr or something like that.


Apparently, Penberthy is making a return in NBA 2K16 as it will allow you to play with classic rosters like the 01 Lakers.

Now we can live out our failed Penberthy hopes and make him play like Steve Kerr!


Penberthy was a speaker at a program my daughter attended.

On the other hand, he can be the NBA playing Jesse Pinkman for us.

Yi is a solid player. Ryan Kelly is nowhere near him in skill level.

I think Yi is making too much money in China though.

If some team in China is willing to give him $3.2 million/yr for the next 5 years, he would be dumb to come back to the NBA to play for 800k which was what he was making with the Mavs in 2012. Don't forget he's probably getting major minutes in the CBA versus being a benchwarmer in the NBA.

Mudiay is an up and coming player though, he skipped college so he could turn pro and get paid. Somebody like Yi Jianlian is a known commodity because of their past play in the NBA.

Yue, Jianlian and also Yao Ming who comes back in a Portland Sabonis-like role for the Lakers.

This needs to happen.

I just love those really cute shoes. And I notice that he's playing pretty good basketball. I love the shoes but more than that he is wearing my husbands second favorite number 37 (his favorite is 17 for a different reason). Cool Hand Luke's number was 37 in case you didn't know.
