We could sign Kristic and draft Curry and see if Kobe can break his record 81 next year!

on a team that hasn't been tough since garbajosa's injury, I think we should get some players that are consistently tough and can consistently play defence.
Graham and Humphries are neither. Not even close. I dispute that either actually plays tough - because they don't outside of brief glimpses that every player has throughout the season. If either was consistent at anything, they would have been handed bigger minutes this season because the team was so bad and so depth deprived up front. They did nothing - scoring, defence, rebounding, toughness, intensity - on a crap team that was desperate for someone to step up. Both should be shown the door.
You point to Graham being drafted at the #16 as grounds for him being given a starting role.....sorry, you'll have to do better than that. Rafael Arujo was picked 8th and was a complete bust - aside from fouling out at every opportunity. Don't see him being given a starting role anywhere.... saying someone was a mid-first round pick and that entitles them to a starting role is pretty weak logic in any sport.
