Why oh why would we want Scal back??? No thank you. Scal is a nice guy... or so it seems. He would call in to a radio station I listen to (sports hub 98.5) but I wasn't sad when we didn't resign him. Too many other/better options for a SF filler.

a. he knows the system and could help right away
b. he knows the guys and wouldn't disrupt anything
c. he'd be cheap and available

not saying he'd be ideal, but if nothing else shapes up, I wouldn't rule it out

I'd always take Scal on this team as a 12th/13th man.  However, they need to find an 8th or 9th man first before we even consider Scal.  But if they make a 2 for 1 trade that doesn't create any other major holes, I would be happy to bring Scal in as an insurance policy.

b. he knows the guys and wouldn't disrupt anything
c. he'd be cheap and available

not saying he'd be ideal, but if nothing else shapes up, I wouldn't rule it out


d. Last year, he showed the ability to step onto the court and in short stints, the ability to play good team defense even though he had not been playing for many games in a row.  A guy that can step on the court and do his job without the nightly in game reps.

"Scal could be waived?"

So what?  We don't (or shouldn't) want him.  He brings nothing to the table that we need.

*If* there was a trade that resulted in a roster spot being opened up, and *if* no one better was bought out, I'd have no objection to bringing Scal back.

But, you don't want him being Pierce's main backup.  Bringing Scal back is a totally separate question from finding a rotation-caliber small forward.

Did you say could or was it supposed to be should be waived. Maybe there is a reason the Bulls would waive him and it's because he's not good. There just has to be a better option out there.

The Bulls are not waiving him.  If he is part of a trade to Cleveland, Cleveland will waive him.

Sorry. My mistake, but am I wrong but that's even worse. I mean he's being waived by one of the worst teams in the league. Why would that be?

A. In what ways can he help? Being a liability in almost every facet of the game doesn't help when other players should be getting those minutes.
B. Me too. Anyone want to sign me?
C. Again, me too, but there's a reason for that.
