Re: Make your predictions on what we do.
Can you imagine if don't even move Nurk? Please tell me we end up with a power forward at the very least.

Oh yeah, what happened to Gambo saying we were trying to get a power forward?

Re: Make your predictions on what we do.
On this team, Cody Martin is a power forward. Except when we’re using him at center.
