    Really liked Tarik here, but felt the writing was on the wall since the draft.

    I really liked Tarik, but I understand it needed to be done. We have so many young, quality bigs now.

    Not sad at all that he is gone.

    Limited ceiling and IMO didn't improve at anything last year which is tough to say in such a disfunctional environment but still, I expected more from him and at some point we have to decide whether we want to develop Zubac OR Bryant OR Black etc...can't develop 15 guys at once and can't develop 3 centers at once either. You have to choose based on salary, age, ceiling and Black couldn't win in any category.

    It's a good point. If Tarik had come back last season with a jumper, he may still be here.

    i like tarik, but luke's offense isn't dantoni's. he's got to be able to pass and/or score more creatively. he can't. houston is right for him. catch ball, dunk ball, otherwise, sit and watch.
