A Foyle, a mohel, and olive oil

[Patrick.Ryan at westover.af.mil]

Adonal Foyle? Meh, for the vet minimum? Sure why not. As to all the
WayRay rumors - how many people are we going to sign exactly? 20? 25?
Antoine - you can stay with the Heat pal we have three...what was the
term...veteran All-stars already - don't want to overcook the meal you
know.

I've decided I'm NOT on board with the Reggie Miller thing. Nice idea,
but he doesn't address a pressing need. The LA Lakers of a few years ago
proved one thing: even all-star teams have to have role players. The
idea of Miller being a bit role player SOUNDS too good to be true and in
such cases that often means it is too good to be true. Add in yet
ANOTHER player with defensive deficiencies (flopping is NOT defense) and
it just doesn't round out a balanced roster.

Three is the magic number.  The three we have as stars have
complimentary skills, seem all to be sufficiently understanding of the
impact having three stars will have on the team dynamic, and also seem
genuinely humbled by the chance to play together. From there rounding
the roster should concentrate on role players in many different facets:
defense especially, but a little instant offense too, a dash of
passing/creating and last but not least rebounding.  Basically, the five
tools of basketball not to be too blunt.
