Our only key departure in the offseason was Patrick Williams and after 5 seasons with us we thank him for his contributions but to be blunt we didnt mind losing him after his performances the last couple years. It was clear the player we wanted Patrick to be and the one HE wanted to be were two different versions so we wish him well in Chicago.
Now the slight issue is we didnt really fill the spot that Patrick leaves behind as the bench big. We're going to try some different options and perhaps go smaller than we'd like but backup Center is a pretty big hole right now so we hope for health in that area and expect new signing Carmelo Williams to pick up the slack at the backup PF spot. As of this moment were expecting Ron Shaw to start at the 3 with Giddings and Wisner to offer depth but like last year those spots are fluid and constantly evaluated based on performance.
A lot of teams got better this year and there are plenty more wanting to make noise so our goal for the campaign is closer to 60 wins and to be more competitive for the division and for the love of god make it past Round 2! We havent really been in the mix since the most recent division realignment so hopefully the other teams in the Fox can help take some games off the Lakers and bring em back down to the pack
tl;dr -- Pat W gone, Carmelo+Shaw in and Beat LA (plz)
Ask away!
