    I know who Klapper is :)

    I'd previously (in the thread) said that it was the same injury that Hill had, but he's absolutely right that it's not the same. I was joking that he might know what he's talking about.

    Well now that it looks like Wes is going to miss weeks and not days we're definitely going to get a better look at Wayne "The Duke" Ellington now. That's good news at least as we'll have a better idea if Wayne is someone we might want to keep later down the road.

    I like Wayne. He's pretty athletic too and is another guy who always plays hard.

    ^^ That's outstanding news! In the meantime I'm enjoying Kelly's play out there. Nice to see him get some burn.

    Yes, but Wes has been a gritty dude.

    Can he be traded and if so you think he has any value?

    With the kind of contract he has in how inexpensive it is I don't think he has any valve from a trade perspective

    So I know he's played well since the ASG, but man is this cat dumb. He just doesn't seem to have a grasp of what he's good at as a player and what he's bad at. His shot looks admittedly better from the start of the year. He's not drifting on his shots, his feet are set, and he's usually at least on line with the basket.

    But still he takes bad shots, commits bad turnovers, makes mental mistakes defensively. If we end up with him again next season we BETTER have filled out our needs everywhere else.

    I want him out of here faster than his shots clank off the rim.

    This guy angers me to no end. I have always loathed players with the physical and athletic tools to be all-world, yet they somehow can't even stay with a team. I grew up playing soccer and ended up excelling at it. But when I was little I wanted to play basketball. My Dad steered me in the direction of soccer though because it was pretty obvious I wasn't going to be big enough. And I ended up 5'7" with a 6 inch vertical leap, so my Dad called it right.

    LOL

    I can't blame him though.... quite frankly, he is intellectually handicapped as a basketball player. Sad because he has the right tools and attitude.

    Yeah I mean I don't hate him... And I'll be the first to admit I was wrong to be excited about him coming here... The guy just doesn't have it between the ears.

    Sorry I should not have used the word handicapped, meant to say challenged.
