Waived: Phil Pressey

[Neurotic Guy]

Solid backup point guard. I would rather have kept him and dealt Banks 2.0 for whatever you could get. He's going to have a nice 9-10 year career as a backup point.

the banks 2.0  thing is becoming as worn out as the lakers fans on the realgm board complaining about stern turn down the cp3 deal


He's our point guard. I'm going to support him

Get ready for Rozier to be called Banks 3.0. If you've got a good schtick going, why change it?

I think the clever part of the repetetive "Banks 3.0" is that Banks and Smart are both Marcus'. 

Rozier might be Duerod 2.0.

I grew to like Phil, he was a pure point guard type. I'm sure he'll find a spot on another NBA roster. Someone must need a back up point, that can help run a second unit, on the cheap.

I liked him a lot and he could?ve done great as an injury fill-in. In his limited minutes, he actually showed some promise. Why didn?t they cut Babb instead?

Babb will be a filler in the Lee trade and Phil's contract became guaranteed today if they didn't waive him while Babb's was not. Today had to be decision day for Phil. Also, both guys were kind of doomed, we simply don't have enough roster spots to carry either of them.

Babb is going to be gone, too.   All he ever had is one good game, I rather roll with Mickey than Babb.   I agree he will be tossed in the Lee deal.

"True point guard" is getting right up there with "tremendous upside potential" these days. It often seems to just be an euphemism for PGs that can't shoot or score.

[AngryAndIrritable]

I wish him well... even though I always had this song in my head watching him play

Co-sign

[Celtics18]

Best of luck to Phil.  I'm going to miss him. 

[blink]

Yeah good luck to Phil.  Sounds like he is a good kid.  Hopefully he can catch on as a bench player for another nba team, or head to Europe and make some money doing what he loves.

[flybono]

I would have dumped Zeller and his turnstile defense.

[Hemingway]

good luck to him, he has been a real pro.
my advice:
1. work on your 3pters
2. go somewere where you can actually play(devealop) like europe or china for a year or two

I live in China, who exactly is developing in the CBA? The name of the game here is give the ball to one of your 2 foreigners and hope they sore 40 each.

"Roster (15): Bradley, Crowder, ET, Hunter, Jerebko, Johnson, Mickey, KO, Rozier, Smart, Sully, IT, Young, Zeller, Lee, Holmes

Stashed (1): Thornton

Unsigned (1): Holmes"

You forgot PJIII, we are still at 16, even with Thornton stashed

[saltlover]

I would have dumped Zeller and his turnstile defense.

That would make you unique here.  Good to stand out!

*In Europe.

There you go.
