I was reading that they cut him before they left for Vegas.

I can only think his reported heart condition was more of an issue than first thought?

Either way, with Livingston now on the roster I have no interest in him at all.

Not even as a 3rd string insurance for the minimum?

Gotcha.

To be honest I think I would rather Hughes for that role - only because he has NBA experience and is a vet though. I have never seen Torrance play though. I was hoping to be able to watch him at SL to get a feel for his game.

We wanted Torrance here, but he chose Miami. LOL. Makes him feel sick after that. Anyway, if Collins doesnt lose weight, he won't stand chance in NBA. But I don't want Hughes either. I mean, does Collins will cost us less than Hughes? I believe so.

I second the negative on bringing Hughes back. He had a moment or two, but was largely dreadful overall. Many options to develop relative to the PG situation yet, so let's wait and hope we're not dealing with garbage options close to the season's start.

Shame about Torrance.
I continue to wait...and hope...for the return to Hornet's glory.

If we wanted to. Being invited to a SL team doesn't give that team exclusive rights to you unless they drafted you or you're already under contract.

Sherron Collins could (and probably will) get offers from a few times and we could invite someone that played for another SL team this year.
