Suspicious, how? It's not state secrets here. He's making himself accessible to SSHs, not opening the vault.
Agreed - I mean most of these things, we already knew 80% at least...it's just nice to get it from his mouth, in a more casual situation than a media interview where one has a tendency to give the more "corporate" type answer.
I think Sonny may have done us a bit of a favour by getting hurt - his contract price is steadily going down since his hot stretch. He's a useful piece to have as your 10th player, I wouldn't mind him at a contract between 1-2.5 million per, pending CBA of course.
I also would much rather have Wright than Sonny at this point. Demar has cemented himself as a "franchise" piece, and Sonny's game is really too similar to Demar's to put too much commitment in Sonny.
I like having Reggie around. Even if the advanced stats guys can show that we may not be better with him on the court, I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that this team is playing much softer since he went down with injury. Some of the rebounding/interior presence has come back around with the return of Ed, but Reggie definitely had a net positive impact on the team, even if it doesn't show up in the stats. Every team needs a strong vet presence, Reggie for guys like Demar and Bargnani is LIKE Oakley for Vince. A strong, verbal and physical presence who will take the time to help nurture pure talent.
