It looks that way, never in shape last year and never could really find his stroke besides a few games. Now, a foot and another couple months away from bball. I was hoping for Meeks and a good looking Jennings to be a nice trade package...now, not so much.

Officially out 12-16 weeks. So basically back in March.

What are our options here - would any long term injury relief just provide cap money or open up a roster spot if say we shut him down for the year?

If Bullock can't handle the back-up minutes what do we do? Open up a roster spot by moving Dinwiddie for a future second and sign somebody?

Bullock looked poor so far in regular season. Only reason i am not crowning bullock just yet is because he's done all of that in the preseason, which don't count for sh*. We will find out if it translates. Also hope this means we get to see some Hillard.



wtf? he barely played! :crazy:


and there was a reason for that. He was horrible defensively and was getting lost on offense. He'll improve, but my point still stands.

What are you talking about????? He played SIX minutes. 6 total minutes during the regular season.
He came in in the 4th quarter after Meeks got hurt and played 6 minutes... How are you gathering that he is not getting minutes because of his "poor play". :crazy:

We are better off with out him. I know it is wrong to say but Meeks just wasn't the same player as he was with the Lakers. He provided little to nothing last year. He had a few good games but a lot of games. Bullock will be fine because anything is better than Jodie.

Unfortunate, but not a back-breaker. Bullock will get a chance, Stanley and KCP will get a few more minutes, more time for Jennings when he returns..... it's only 15 minutes a game to replace.

Meeks was awesome last year in that Orlando game - he single-handedly destroyed them that night. Everything he tossed up went in. Beyond that...... have I mentioned the Orlando game?

when KCP plays six minutes, he's KCP for 6 minutes, doing what KCP does. Bullock in the 6 minutes of relevant time he has played has looked like a 3rd stringer. argue all you want but arguing based off a preseason performance is irrelevant
