Frontcourt rotation?
And why Iavaroni isn't playing Kwame? I would rather see him in the court than see Collins or Cardinal. If they won't play him, they should just waive him, period.

His contract will expire at the end of the season, they don't need to waive him.

Re: Grizzly Center Project part 1 : Kwame Brown
Hey I havn't been watching any Grizz games,, is Kwame getting any game time? How have the minutes basically been split so far between your bigs?

This confused me for a bit.

Sure, there is no need to waive him due to his expiring contract, but they should do it to allow him to sign with another team where he can play.

Warrick's been getting 30-40 minutes depending on how lazy his defense is that night and depending on how much we're getting killed.
Cardinal's consistently been getting 20 minutes.
Milicic gets roughly 20-25.
Collins, the last few games, has been getting under 10 minutes a game. Kwame played in two-straight games for about an average of 28, started the second game and bombed. He's only played garbage time since, if at all.
Collins and Kwame have been interchangeable, as have all the guys (besides Warrick) to a certain extent for the past two weeks. It wouldn't surprise me to see Kwame get Collins' minutes and Collins racking up DNP-CDs next week. But things are starting to fall into place.
Warrick's obviously the only somewhat talented big on the team, so his minutes are going to be there. Cardinal has, in defiance of God Himself, carved out a role on this team. I think he's going to be getting consistent burn until either he breaks down or the season ends. And Darko has played very well for his standards the last three games. Unless he has a meltdown, I don't see him falling behind Kwame or Collins in the rotation.

I think we've done enough people favors this year (Gasol, Stoudamire, the Lakers franchise). We don't owe Kwame Brown a darn thing.

Re: Grizzly Center Project part 1 : Kwame Brown
And for the record, I like Kwame about twice as much as I like Collins. Kwame's at least interesting when he's out there. With Kwame, he'll at least show a flash once every 20 minutes of why he got drafted (note that I didn't say No. 1 overall, just that he got drafted).
Collins is just a good-for-nothing bum and no more athletic or coordinated than I am. He's the walking definition of a guy who only started playing basketball because he was bigger and taller than everyone else.
And since I like Kwame only twice as much, that should tell you something about Kwame, too.

Wow.. Reading your list all your bigs and their double digit minutes.. You guys got a better record than us but I feel sorry for you..
Why is Cardinal consistently getting 20 minutes? Am I just hating on him or does the guy actually have some use to your team?
And I agree, Warrick's "somewhat talented" but he's wasting away some potentially good years surrounded by the other guys..
Thanks for the info.

Re: Grizzly Center Project part 1 : Kwame Brown
Oh yeah, and Andre Brown is getting no minutes at all. Zilch. Forgot he was even on the team.
If you need a comparison, he's basically a more-athletic Jason Collins, except three inches shorter and hands soaked in lube. Or a lesser-talented version of Alexander Johnson with a higher basketball IQ.

I'll give Cardinal this much. He works his tail off when he's out there, he seems to know what to do, and his three-point percentage is respectable (though when he misses, he's usually way off).
Aside from that, basically useless.
But that whole "working his tail off" thing makes him more popular with the coaches than Kwame. The "knowing what he's doing" thing automatically makes him better than Andre, and Jason Collins can't shoot threes. Or twos. Or ones.
