Why did Hunter make the team?

Why did Hunter make the team?

Hunter had a good showing in the preseason except for his last game. He will be a SF/PF as a third string. He is here in case of injuries.

I am not surprised by Silar not making it. He is a big body but he is not even close to being ready for the NBA. I don't know if he will ever be. We have a project center in Morris who is better then Silar and has more experience.

I am sad to see Mario go but I think his salary requirement doomed him from the beginning. He brought a lot of energy, excellent spot defense, terrible offense and a great attitude to the team. That being said...he is not worth a million a season. Good luck Mario, I hope you hook up with another team.

Now that's what i'm talking about. Way to go #50, that's my guy Othello!

The Big Glacier, yet another victim of global warming.

LMAO . . . . hilarious.

Good luck to G, wherever he ends up. Most b-ball players don't even make it to an NBA training camp, so at least he can say that he did that at least.

Any one of these guys would have had a place on the team a few years ago and we would have had to rely on them.

my guess is West will be extremely lucky to latch on with someone else and would have gladly taken the minimum for a player of his tenure.

^^^ Really fantastic paean to Mario. (The room got a little dusty when I read it.)

Who is Woodson going to put in now with 18 seconds left in the quarter?
