Former Charlotte Bobcats player Reggie Williams was cut by the Rockets today. I actually thought he would make the roster

His career actually ended when he signed with Charlotte.

I think Marcus is done, unless a contender like OKC decides they need a big defender/rebounder, dont know about Reggie maybe a team like Miami signs him they like shooters

14. Bobcats. Record last season: 21-61. Missed playoffs. Key additions. Al Jefferson, Cody Zeller.

Hey, we’re not last! They’ve got another new coach, but who’s keeping count. Or even knows who it is. They did add a real guy in Al Jefferson, but mostly have guys out of position with Kemba Walker a point guard and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist shooting the ball.

Sam smith's power rankings.
The same boring uneducated drivel.

On the criticism that Lopez isn't a very good rebounder, Shaq said, "I didn't rebound well, and nobody gave a fu*k... Reggie Evans, let that motherfu*ker rebound." - Nets Daily

Love me some Shaq.

The New York Knicks decided to release center/forward Jeremy Tyler in favor of guard Chris Smith last week and now word comes from the New York Post that the team is in negotiations with the Golden State Warriors to gain his D-League rights.

Tyler is currently recovering from a stress fracture in his left foot and he can't continue his rehab program with the Knicks because he last played in the D-League with the Santa Cruz Warriors and they own his rights. Once Golden State trades his rights to the Knicks' D-League team in Erie, PA he can get back to work with the Knicks training staff.

Tyler can sign with any team, however he won't get a deal until his foot has completely healed. There is a chance the Knicks will waive Smith or Cole Aldrich to make room for Tyler if they decide to bring him back.

I just really wish the Cats would sign Tyler. Get a young upside player and piss off the Knicks & Warriors in one fell swoop. I say do it.

I remember being psyched when we nabbed him with our second round pick. I also remember being pissed when we sold him for cash. Would be a roundabout way to get here, but I would welcome him in a Bobnets jersey. He would really, really have to fight for scraps here though - not a lot of minutes left in our frontcourt.

That Bulls bench sucks balls. 50 year old Nazr is the backup for Noah and someone named Tony Snell who reminds me of Darius Miles backing up Deng...ugh.

that is the one real issue with the bulls and the main reason i dont see them getting thru the pacers or heat this year. if they really want to make a run, then need to use our pick to land another player.

^I'm pretty sure Thibs is going to run all his starters into the ground by mid season.

I think the Bulls need to make a trade packaging Luol Deng's expiring contract for Rudy Gay. I'm sure the Raptors would like that luxury tax break and the Bulls could benefit from having another scorer besides Derrick Rose.

I lost $50 on tonight's game. I need to stop betting but that whole game went to the waist side after all those phantom foul calls that put Butler and Deng in deep foul trouble early. Outside of that I think the Bulls could've won. They still need some better offensive-minded players to balance out their defense. There's no way they'll re-sign a declining Deng so they might as well trade him.

JJ Redick sure would look nice on this team.

What they really need is the dynamic off-the-bench scoring of a super sixth man like Ben Gordon.

What is with Xavier Henry flying all over the place? Where did this come from? He looks like an All-Star against the Cliippers.

Xavier Henry was in 2k11 mode. He was literally unstoppable in that game. :lol:

wasn't Xavier's first game (this year) like that either. Watch his pre-season highlights versus the Warriors, he was showing off some elite scoring skills..... I think he had some other big games during the pre-season as well. Wonder when he finally starts?

Ben Gordon would be a upgrade from how Mike Dunleavy Jr. looked last night
