Feel like Dumars is a little stiff to miss a spot

Larry Johnson probably not too far off for Charlotte too

[valkorum]

Yeh, definitely felt like Dumars is the biggest hard luck story but its the right decision.  Who do you take out from Thomas and Stackhouse to make way for Dumars?

The only thing I dont like about the list is a player can appear on multiple teams.  Should be only allowed to choose 1 player for 1 team.

Al Farouq Aminu has to give way to Tyreke Evans in N.O and how does MJ not make the Washington 5 ;D

Tyreke cant play SF.  We tried for years at Sacramento to play him there - he cant shoot from range.
