Players for whatever reason, really like these kinda guys, and perhaps he can hype the city enough to get a couple marquee players to sign here when the time is right. I just hope they don't give Drake a hand in any personnel decisions.
I think it's probably a stronger roster than last year's opening night roster when you swap Bargnani, Davis, Anderson, Calderon, Kleiza, Lucas and McGuire out and put in Gay, Hansbrough, Novak, Augustin, Daye and filler. It looks closer to just missing the playoffs than a legit tank, but one injury or trade could change that in a hurry.
