Three quick points. VC: Not at all surprised by the trade either, and if we had to lose him I'm glad it was to Orlando, and we got good (great?) value in return. Watching the finals last year, I actually noted how much VC would have really helped them. Starting five? I'd have Harris, Lee, Simmons, Yi, Lopez. I have Simmons starting instead of (not over) Jarvis Hayes because with his energy and leadership, Jarvis would really anchor that second unit. I love his game, and much like Ginobili came off the bench, Jarvis could be Sixth man of the Year. Side note, as of July 27th, Yahoo Sports has Yi starting at 3, Sean Williams starting (!) at 4, and Hayes not even on the depth chart (Hayes was resigned on June 29th). Last, love our young talent and the potential it has. I was ecstatic about Terrence Willams falling in or laps at the 11th spot. Really hoped we would get him, that he led Louisville in assists and steals and was basically tied for the team lead in rebounds from the forward position really sold me. In 3 years, a least 6 teams will be answering the question, "Why did you pass on Terrence Williams?" There is no substitute for playing together for a long time, so if this young nucleus stays together, and I expect it will, and with adding a key free agent or two, the sky's (NBA Championship) the limit. SEE YA! Great interview. Three quick points. VC: Not at all surprised by the trade either, and if we had to lose him I’m glad it was to Orlando, and we got good (great?) value in return.

At some pt I think/hope twill. deserves to start but he will get good pt off the bench anyways. I rather have hayes start than bobby or trent that's for sure Nice interview.when he said his starting 5 based on development I thought hed put twill at 3, but that’s a lot of very young talent together.
