I'm very thankful for a place like the BE community to answer my many questions. I hope you can come through again. Here they are:

1. What kind of future do Pendergraph and Cunningham have? Are they going to be rarely-used a la Kurt Rambis or Steve Scheffler? They seem like capable big PF/Cs, so why haven't they been getting time, if even for just taking fouls? I thought we were short on big bodies, yet Juwan Howard plays a lot more than these two. This makes me wonder if they're not very good and destined for careers of garbage time. And what's the difference between Dante and Jeff?

2. Tolliver seems pretty good and plays a position that the Blazers could use. Why did they discard him?

3. What general NBA web sites do you frequent/recommend? Which are big, important, useful, and worth time examining (other than BE, of course)? I know of espn and the other big media types (obviously), but what about places such as hoopshype, hoopsworld, slamonline?

thanks. I look forward to hearing your opinions and advice.
