And thats how this roster was assembled. Personally I think Weisbroud should be awarded, Otis Smith had two very questionable drafts and a free agent signing that was a blessing in disguise (Rashard). So like I thought it was a simple storke of luck to land a roster like this. But we will see what happens after the finals. Hedo is a Free Agent this summer and a very important part of this roster.
