There will be some sort of trade happening soon it would appear. Even the commentators (Peterson and Hammonds(sp?)) eluded to something probably in the works. I don't think it is a secret that something is in the works.

I have to admit though, I was suprised to see Booth make the team and play last night against the Bucks. Where they trying to showcase him in those small minutes in order to increase his trade value? I don't think it worked.


I am anxious to see a trade, and what the heck this means:

Other than the fact that your grandma is lust itself, I do not understand your seemingly random crack here. (I know your joke means something, but I am missing it..blame it on friday)

I'm also surprised both Richard and Harrison got cut.

what are you talking about? Oh yea, the original thread premise.

tell me about it, here's the list of true centers on the team:

Calvin Booth
Collins (injured)

and both will be gone after the season

sweet!!!!!

I don't really understand what they were looking for from Richard. I always looked at him as a beast you throw out there to be a beast. Be strong and hard to score on and grab some rebounds, seemed like he was doing that.

one of the posts said Ollie would be cut after Telfair comes back from suspension and Richard re-signed

hence the basti's original post saying he thinks it's a bad idea to keep only 2 pg's

The Wolves can never be taken serious until they release him.

Valuable roster spot? There's no doubt that Mark Madsen cannot play in this league. But neither can Chris Richard.

Not really worth losing sleep over any of those three guys - if anything Ahearn should feel hard done by (he played well in a few games)... Harrison: never saw him play (so not so tough a call); but Richard: Pretty underwhelming in the extreme (i always had a suspicion he was drafted to keep Brewer happy), he'll make his cash in Europe or elsewhere - Cardinal and Booth can play the same role as him... Better to waste that last spot on a young intrinsically talented player who just needs time to learn the game and grow up a little (think a M Ellis or L Williams type of player here) - maybe that is the plan with the flotilla of late 1st and 2nd rounders we are accumulating...
