Not to sound like a broken record, but we needed roster flexibility...... to have 2 empty roster spots, not including marcus 'don't call me carl' landry? He would have essentially been a deadline addition -- one we could have used, especially if we wanted to use Baby to boost a potential trade. Shame on the Cs.

  I'm tempted to weigh in, but I think I'll just monitor the thread and wait until it his page 25 or so.

I'll do the same, but I'll just say this, that you indeed sound like a broken record. Just saying...

You're right, I shouldn't have even said it. Think I'm just frustrated over the lack of improvement through trade.

If Glen Davis played like he did last year, you wouldn't be talking about Powe.

This statement makes no sense whatsoever. Glen Davis played better last year -- when they were teammates. They were also teammates on the 2008 Championship team.

Now, is this a twice a month thread?  Or am I underestimating the number of times this thread has been started?

Lol @ this topic.

Really, I have no other words. I saw this coming from an eternity away and it wasn't even close.

And just to finish the circle.

Glen Davis was better than Powe when he had good legs : )

I also think Gerald Green is a player in this league. Doc just never gave him a fair shot. We need a spark off the bench and Gerald is the way to do it. Vet minimum signing? Or, we could go with more veteran experience with Antoine Walker, but that's really up to Danny. It's an embarrassment of riches on the scrap heap.

Shelden Williams > Leon

I love Leon, but he isn't anything to cry about.  Shoot, he hasn't even played this year and his knees are straight jelly.  Next year at this time he'll be sitting on a bench, awaiting another surgery.   Its unfortunate, but he wasn't blessed with Kevin Mchale joints.

Can we at least see if leon is ever the same on the court after his FOURTH major knee surgery before age 25 to pass judgment?
