    Should look for potential 3/D players...yes its nice to see effort defensively but next season the non shooting of nwaba/brewer gona start getting on people, i can already see it, we're at the bottom too as far as 3pt % as a team

    I get that, but everyone has been praising his effort - and it might actually be rubbing off on guys.

    Brewer is good example....while hes a good teammate and plays hard, im sure his lack of shooting is why he lost alot of his pt in hou

    If we were looking for something else, maybe a stretch big.

    I thought his contract expired yesterday? Sort of messed up to keep him waiting another day if he isn't going to end up on the team.

    Honestly, I think we could turn Nwaba into a 3/D player.

    I remember getting one Ariza who wasn't the best shooter from outside until we forced him to become one. He was primarily an activity guy with a knack for slashing to the basket, very much like Nwaba.

    The type of hounding defense he showed on Lebron 1-on-1 was impressive in itself. You don't find perimeter defenders like that every day.

    To be fair I know Luke said after practice today that he was going to talk to Rob and Magic about it but I don't think they actually spoke because Magic and Rob were coming back from their meeting in NYC. Which is why they are meeting tonight before the game.

    Excellent. He deserves every bit of it, even if it's a Team Option.

    Team option on the 2nd year. Big time congratulations to the kid. This is fantastic for him. I figured he got the deal for at least this season when we didn't hear anything today. No way they leave him twisting in the wind like that if there was no deal coming.

    Young man, you're already such an amazing story. Spend all Summer making 1,000 three's per day and you could have a looooong career in this league. Bruce Bowen & others have done it. You can too.

    I love stories like this of a guy working his a** off and reaping the benifits of his hard work
