It would have been a devastatingly good fit basketballwise (as would Bosh in Hou), but obviously there are other factors at play. | ||

rose is basically an unknown, and their regular season record is pretty much inflated by how hard the coach runs the team. | ||

Hinrich is an okay signing, but they should have gotten Augustin as well and I would like them more. Or they could still another SG or G. They apparently aren't though. Makes me wonder who else they still have their eyes on. | ||
