We pondered ifMason Plumleewas getting paid too much before he reminded us in the preseason what he brings. We said goodbye to broadcaster Ally Sturm and hello to new branding.
There were losses, we said goodbye toDarrell Arthur,Wilson Chandler,Kenneth FariedandDevin Harris. Micah Nori moved on to the Pistons butMark Pricehas come on-board.
