Here's the final Nellie show on Ralph and Tom. He talks openly about many things.

Well....I believe Nellie about benching Baron but I think he's selling the bench short. I mean if he had given the bench a "real", "consistent" chance to contribute I think they could've/would've. Now the offseason is here and we don't need wild, desperate trades and the like. Look at the Chris Webber debacle. He helped us tremendously...lol...
I hope Nellie comes back. I hope Baron comes back. I hope we get rebounding help and those are my only wishes for the offseason.

Nellie said that Bukie was his most consistent bench player and that C.J. Watson was second most consistent +/- player off the bench...

He got criticized for not playing his rookies but when you don't have a consistent bench guy, I'm just curious why he doesn't roll the dice and gamble earlier on the season to give Bellinelli more minutes. It didn't hurt when play Brandan Wright more minutes. The one player that simply didn't show up was Barnes.

If the W's have Harrington's jersey on sale, it's pretty safe to say he won't be here for next season.

On watching the Nike Hoops summit on Yahoo, I like that Alexis Ajinca cat from France. He's 7'1 and the guy reminds me of Tyson Chandler.

Demar Derozan is gonna help USC cuz I think the guy is gonna be crazy good. It's too bad O.J. Mayo is gonna leave.

OJ Mayo shouldn't have declared.

I also liked Ajinca. He showed more effort and awareness than Ibaka even if his skills are a bit shakey and he needs muscle. We-however-have proven that we lack the skill or commitment to be taking a "project" and should-for now-look to a plug + play type,a player who's already skilled and self motivated. We can't go on wasting draft picks.

Harrington logically is a guy we COULD trade,but There's a lot of "ifs".
Wright seldom even played a full half (if ever?) and still weighs in at under 210....about 10 lb less than Pietrus. There isn't much else. Al will be a $9 mill guy. For him to be gone involves team B wanting to pay Al $9 mill and us accepting the $9 mill worth of player/players coming in return.

That's rather like the posts that say top dump Azu+Barnes+ Pietrus...and there's this notion that we can automatically find better stuff in the dumpster.

There ARE some good prospects who slip through the cracks. Patrick O'bryant and S Lasme will fit that category...but probably won't be here any time soon.

Many are just a poor man's THud.

I saw a picture of Ajinca, he makes BW look like a fat albert.
