Which is exactly why we should have resigned Ben Wallace as well for 64 Million, so we could package him and Nazr now to the Knicks for a 1st rounder and David Lee. Without Ben the deal falls through because Zeke only trades for 60 million in salary at a time baby.

Tbranch: Nazr’s stuck on Detroit, and Detroit’s stuck on him, well, until early 2011, unless Joe can dial-a-sucker and ship him in trade for a gigantic waste of space with a lesser amount of time on the deal.

What a train wreck of a roster in NY. I wouldn’t take 10 of their players for free if you offered them to me. Only Jared Jeffries and David Lee play anything close to winning NBA basketball (ie, plays on both ends of the court).

Yep… I remember that. Delfino was pulling the same crap (after translation) but I didn’t really feel like I knew him all that well either. I chalked it up to language barrier.

I could look it up but how long is Nazr’s contract? I don’t think we’ll be keeping him any longer once it’s over. That’ll be some good money to free up.

I’m sure Nazr isn’t too thrilled, he went from being a starter to barely even getting bench minutes. He has been a good sport about it though. We also need him for guarding against bigger guys like today. He did a pretty good job of defending the paint against the Knicks bigs.

At the end of last season but before the playoffs when Webber was pretty much devouring all the mins at the 5, Mohammed came out and passionately said that if the team didn’t intend to play him they should trade him. He wasn’t really offensive about it and even pointed out that it made NO sense to pay him 30 million bucks to sit on the bench. It wasn’t exactly “letting us in” and at the time I was kinda pissed that our panic FA signing was bitching about playing time……..however, looking back it did establish his pride as a baller and give me some CLUE that he has a pulse still.

I know that’s not alot, but I swear this DID happen.

Ya Know… this is our 2nd year with Nazr and I can’t remember any interviews, quotes, or anything to help us get to know him. Does he want a bigger role? Is he happy, sad, indifferent? It just doesn’t feel like he’s a real part of the team most of the time. How are the fans supposed to embrace the guy if we can’t get the chance to know him?

I can’t think of anyone on the team that I know less about. Heck… I even knew more about Alex Ackers.

I am rubbing a rabbit’s foot and forgiving Woody Hayes to build up Kharma on Detroit’s behalf as we speak. Secular or not, I’m on it.

Dyess has 18 points, nice to have him back.

Nazr has been missing them free throws pretty bad. I didn’t know about Sheeds knee, hope it isn’t to bad, that’s all we need.

Sore knee for Sheed?

Did they say out for the game?

Man… he’s been playing hot too.

2nd Q salvaged. Thank God. That was really really looking ugly for several minutes.

I think that the team has really lost it’s defensive mind set. Sheed has been playing good ‘D’. Max/Amir/Samb have been trying but just fouling a lot.

I was liking Murray for a little while. He looked good in the game I attended at Van Andel. He just plays balls out all the time. Problem is he’s only on his game about 20% of the time.

Right now I’d like to see Samb stick around and Murray go away… when Stuckey gets back.

Yeah we killed our lead with having all 5 players out there being bench. I wouldn’t go more than 3 bench players deep in the lineup in at a time unless we are up big in the 4th. I feel bad hating on Murray, but he just kills our offense out there. Should only a few weeks until we get Stuckey back.

I thought the idea of using the bench was to get the rooks some time playing with starters… not just wholesale subbing. Why would you do that when everyone is playing so well? Take them all out of the game?
