This team won't be competing for a title next season, we don't NEED a veteran yet. I'm more inclined to see how the young guys develop with each other naturally, then seeing what the team needs and bringing in some final pieces. People gotta calm down.Jack Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031630038196126143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398105723081422438.post-26386906809854348872008-06-20T22:25:00.000-07:002008-06-20T22:25:00.000-07:00Patience IS a virtue.

Martell on the other hand, do any of us really know how good he'll be yet? It seems at this point that a Wesley Person-type career is probably his floor, while a Reggie Miller-type career is probably his ceiling. Not sure if I want to trade a 21-year-old Wesley Person/Reggie Miller just yet.gudmundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09737429842125453616noreply@blogger.com
