I think we are gonna let Zaza go pretty soon. He is on the All-Star ballot maybe we can get someone good for him. I think Zaza is better than Shelden so i really dont understand why Woody plays Lo and Shelden more than Zaza. I guess his lack of defense is what keeps him on the bench. I can understand his frustration, it must be hard to go from starter to last option in one season, especially when he is on the All-Star ballot which means that he probably feels like other teams give him respect but his own coach doesnt.

Honestly i don't know what the Hawks could get for him at this point. I think they would probably take an expiring contract just to have his money available in FA.

Yeah if we can dump him for an expiring it would be good.

I disagree about him being better than wright and shelden. Shelden adds defense and rebounding on the court, two things which zaza does not do. Wright adds the veteran toughness and while isn't a great player, he does some things right.

I hope this leads to more pt for Shelden, but woody will probably give the minutes to jones and wright and play smith at the 5 some more.

If we can get Zaza back to last season it would really help us. But his confidence is completely gone. I've been happy with Lo this season. He's given us some quality vet minutes when we needed it. I don't even want to discuss Shelden getting back on the floor.

On Zaza's NBA.com profile there's a video link called "Zaza Pachulia Highlights" and the first play is him falling on the ground to get a loose ball and calling a timeout. The other play is him getting an easy layup. Those are his two best plays this year.

haha, I've been in chicago almost all season so i havent been able to watch many games. i have to listen to them all on nba.com. I guess that probably affected my judgement and I havent noticed that zaza hasnt been producing like last year (which last year he wasnt producing enough to be a solid starter anyways, but I thought he would be a good backup).So I guess hes digressed and I really dont know what Im talking about since I cant physically watch him play. All I hear is "zaza just checked in" then a few minutes later "zaza just checked out" and I didnt know why.

Have you tried watching the games online? Or are you not able to?
