No joke, Hedo is blossoming at the right time...yesterday's game winner over Pierce on national TV probably bought him a couple of all-star votes from the coaches as well (unless their selections have already been finalized, which I think they have been).

1. rashard has celticitis in his arm.
2. this selection might be the consolation prize for a probable all-star snub.
3. even though it would have made hedo a very happy man, he'd rather not be selected.
4. stay home, rest and get ready for the closing.

After those 4 games no one can argue that he did not deserved it... especially great to see that he did not loose his self believe after the mini-slump he was in. The Hedo off old would have melted but this year its different :clap:

It's not coincedence that he hit a game-winner and won POW right after I got my new sig.

TheMadMagician · Post #16 » by **TheMadMagician** » Mon Jan 28, 2008 10:16 pm

It's gonna be hard to re-sign him

theTHIEF · Post #17 » by **theTHIEF** » Mon Jan 28, 2008 10:18 pm

maybe...he doesnt seem like the kind of guy to screw the team...and im sure if Otis has him pined as long term he's going to work on something...

MagicFan3 · Post #18 » by **MagicFan3** » Mon Jan 28, 2008 10:23 pm

It will be easy to re-sign him. He plays for us so there are no cap limits; we can toss however much we want at him.
