Allan Ray and Powe will be cut.

‘‘I’m looking at some point guards,’’ he said, talking about both trades and free agents. ‘‘But that doesn’t mean that we’re dissatisfied. We feel like there’s some point guards that are really good … but other than that I am satisfied with Rajon and I like Sebastian (Telfair). I think Sebastian has a bright future.’’

That is from the BBGD article in the patriot ledger. Looks like Sebastian really may be staying here, unless hes just saying that to get his value up.

You’re right Bankshot. Powe’s and Ray’s days are numbered. They seem like good kids. Hopefully they’ll catch on somewhere else.

I don’t have a good feeling about T. Allen. It’s up to Gerald or Pruitt to back up R. Allen.

They could really use some of Powe’s toughness off the bench occasionally. And agreed, DJ to Bird, the worse it sounds for TA the more there’s an opportunity for GG after all.

The only player I think might be an upgrade over Powe out there available is Marc Jackson. Otherwise keep Powe. He is a solid backup PF/C with a big chip on his shoulder.

They aren’t going to cut anybody. They are just testing Allan Ray because they NEED him to learn how to play the point. Yes, thats how desperate we are at the pg position right now. We have no backup, and the money A.Ray would cost is pocket change. Powe won’t be cut either, we need big men and need to keep developing these players whether it be for trading chips, or for us to simply be deeper. Basically, we don’t have the luxury right now to be cutting players.

happy independence day jeff and thanks for all you do. the same to jughead and the gang on the live podcasts.

What the hell did Marty Blake mean by his last line here:

"But now Milicic appears to be on the other side of the luck factor. Despite having produced like a journeyman backup, he’s probably about to get paid like a front-line starter.

When he does, the Human Victory Cigar should light up one for himself."
