They say the camera adds 10 pounds, but to me it looks like he lost 10 pounds and then some.

yep he looks ready to go boys. look for baron to heed to nellie.

It's going down I'm glad they are bringing the City jerseys back theres magic in em.

He looks a little leaner! Great that he hasn't lost the muscle because that helps you everywhere!

Yeah, I also love those jerseys... we should play with them all home games.

i think he looks a lot less cut and defined

Now for the REAL question:

Has Nelly lost weight?

paging Dr. Pritikin

Nellie is clearly taller than jrich in that pic but he's listed as 6'6"?

That's funny... I was just about to say the opposite. I think his arms and shoulders definately look more defined... even though his chest and abdomin are clearly smaller.

I think Nelly's boots give him an inch or so (and his hair definately poofs up higher than Richardson's shaved domeular).

I'm with pest here. To me, he looks leaner... but less defined.

Maybe you're right, at a second glance. But I think there's no doubt he looks better, as a basketball player.

The weight issue can be mitigated thru a routine of exercise and diet; however, the injury issue seems to be always present.

With Baron, it might be a matter of crossing our fingers and hoping for good health.

Some players are just more injury prone.

I am most interested in seeing how Murphy responds to the rigors of playing center. He, Murphy, should be able to create some difficult matchups for opposing team's centers. I would love to see Murphy take a guy like Damp, who has poor lateral movement, from free throw extended and make him move both from side-to-side as well as backwards. As an 80% free throw shooter, Murphy should be getting to the line 10 times a night with a simple pump fake and quick jump shot.

Richardson should watch film of Michael Finley during his prime years at Dallas. Richardson, potentially, can become our Michael Finley.

Our other big question mark is Air France at small forward. With a proper role, he can be much like a hybrid between John Johnson (from the Sonic championship team) and Michael Cooper.

Hell muthaf-ckin' yea he's lost weight!!!! Get ready for an exciting season!

Yessir he has.

Is it cool if I'd rather just have our Richardson?
