I really like the potential of Hickson and Cousins together.

eh I dont really like it. I dont think we really need a SF who can't shoot or handle. He's mainly a defensive 3/4 hybrid. I guess this is insurance for Chuck Hayes health situation?
We pick up Outlaw's remaining four years. Our bid was $3 mill so it's a 4-year, $12 mill deal.
Clearly a big if, but if he gets back to the guy he was in Portland, I think it's a solid pickup. Four years is a little much, but it's the type of deal that can be easily moved in a trade. Outlaw is a pure SF. Typically a solid midrange shooter although he flopped big time as a starter in NJN. Seems like he would force Donte Greene out of the rotation, if he was gonna be a part of it anyway.
Can't read too much into that game tonight, but really liked what I saw from Jimmer. He's a baller. Defense was actually surprisingly good in spots -- contested shots, stayed with the Warriors guards. Offensively, I think he's gonna be fine.
Tyreke - Jimmer
Thornton - Garcia
Salmons - Outlaw
Cousins - Hickson
Hayes - JT
w/ Isaiah, DG, Honeycutt, Whiteside
Pretty deep. Should help us a lot with this short season.

I actually thought Donte played really well tonight. I was most impressed by him, Jimmer, Isaiah T, and Thornton. Hickson and JT make me miss Dalembert.

Yeah, if Hayes' heart problem turns serious, I think we'd take a look at bringing Sammy back for a year. Like I said, not gonna kill guys for the first preseason game, but JT and JJ didn't do enough defensively/on the boards. We know JT is a much better rebounder than he showed tonight.
Also liked Isaiah and thought Donte had a strong game offensively.
