Darth: Well guys, I won't be up here for long. I have much to do. I'm back, I enjoyed my time off and now it's time to truly get back to work. We have a very young core of guys. Our first gem was Danny Granger, who had a rough couple of seasons to start. But alas, he has come back to form and after averaging nearly 20 ppg last season, he is ready to take that next step. We then drafted Rajon Rondo and Brandon Roy. Both had a great rookie season and continued to improve in the off-season. Both took to TC well, and we decided to train both of them. Rondo took the leap from Y to G and is poised to have a great year leading this team. We then brought in Marc Gasol in this years draft, and know that he will grow into a great anchor for this team. Anderson Varajao is longest current member of this team. We drafted him 16th overall back 4 years ago and have gave him the support he's needed throughout. I think another GM mentioned that we needed an incentive to keep these middling guys on our teams. Well here is your incentive: they might just develop into legit players if you give them time. In his 4th year, Anderson took a nice jump this TC and were hoping he will be a solid starter for us this year.
Also tying into the fact that the rebuild is officially over, we put out some pretty large contracts and 2 were accepted. We are very happy to welcome Shawn "The Matrix" Marion and Vince Carter to our squad. These two guys will be key when it comes to getting these young guys up and ready to play each and every night. So there you have it, that's our team and we have lots of work to do. Any questions before we head off?
