Garrett Siler has been bought out of his contract with the Utah Flash. Opens up time for Kosta Koufas if the Utah Jazz ever get healthy

[mrhonline]

Apparently, he's been signed by the Shanghai Sharks, the team that Yao Ming played for and was attempting (?) to buy.

Interesting...

WOW

Chris Gay of the Augusta Chronicle who has been following this dude for years went out of his way to email me last week out of the blue to tell me Siler was going to be an Atlanta Hawk next season.

He told me Siler had a commitment this year but ownership wanted to save money and carry one less man.

1 +1 = 3 here it seems. Somebody has some 'splaining to do.

Lots of 'splaining....

And the Big Glacier floats on......

I don't think there is much explaining necessary- you only make $24,000 a year in the NBADL- in China he will make a ton more money. I'm pretty surprised he went to the nbadl at all.

Exactly.

Just like with Chillz............................the NBA teams have little control and for-site when it comes to what over - seas markets will do.

You can't get down a Augusta sports writer for being thrown a curve ball from an Asian market. I believe what he said and appreciate his input to the site.

He has the size but I just don't think he is an NBA quality player.

[TheTruth]

Hopefully he will grow into one capstone because we don't have a legit defensive Center who can hang with other legit Centers around the league. Horford is too small and has no post game yet, Zaza is nonexistent on defense, Joe Smith can't play Center very much at all, and RandMo and Collins are terrible.

*Sigh* I hope Siler grows into an intimidating legit Center with some polished skills soon...

I would have just liked to have seen what Siler could do against Howard in the 2nd half of the Orlando game when no one else we had, had a prayer of stopping him.

[niremetal]

I find it hysterical that some people still think that size is the only thing keeping the Hawks from stopping D-12.

You are right. But guess what, size would be a start!

[gsuteke]

Saw this on the local Augusta news last night.

Siler went to China at the suggestion of the Hawks and Miami Heat

FWIW

[mrhonline]

It's pretty funny that China is a better place for a young big man than the NBDL.
