I have no idea what this 'really' means...

The Hawks sent center James Lang back to their NBDL affiliate in Little Rock, as his second 10-day contract with the team expired. Lang, a 6-foot-10, 285-pound center who was brought in to add depth to the Hawks' thin frontcourt rotation, never played during his 20 days with the Hawks.

...other than we needed someone to fill out the practice squad/ total roster numbers...

James must have felt like that was a waste of his time.

i'm sure he enjoyed the extra cash

Well word gets around...if Lang showed well in his practices, he'll likely get a look by some other teams. Of course if he did really well one would expect that the Hawks wouldn't have sent him back down.

Only on a fansite would people be so interested in NBDL 10 day contracts. C'mon guys, whatever they do with Lang he is an NBDL player.

[DJlaysitup]

Why shouldn't we be interested in NBDL-level players? We've got 3 or 4 on our roster already?

You know you are a Hawks fan when you are begging for NBDL players to contribute.

I'm not begging but we need a big guy.

It wouldn't hurt us to keep him in the roster till the end of the season.

I know. I just get depressed talking about NBDL players we'd like to see rather than seeds in the playoffs.
