And expecting one more cut before season opener... Wafer or Strawberry?

cut strawberry even though his name is cooler

Not a surprise. Too much depth on our team for him to stick. Now either Wafer or Strawberry is gone.

It may be a surprise to me (and others).

But I'm fairly certain Morey will work it out so that Mike Harris + 2nd round pick + Shane Battier = Lebron James.

Do not question The Morey.

Keep Strawberry since his father Darryl was the man.

can't go wrong with either one. They'll do better than luther head or steve francis

Kinda sucks that we had to cut Harris, again. He's gotta be one of the best players to not currently be able to make a team out there.

He'll be back around midseason when someone gets injured again... *knocks on wood*

Hopefully he doesnt have to but you know that injuries are like clock work around here. Be ready for everything.

no surprise
there was rumor flying around that Harris will go back to his former team in China some time in October
Morey already said he wanted to keep the roster size to 14 (financial concern or save a spot for Mutombo)
it's between Wafer and Strawberry all along

Rumors from where?

I think it would be smart..

He was a beast in China

He was the best player of the 3 most likely cuts. I wouldn't be surprised if all 3 were cut now, strictly for salary reasons though. I seriously doubt Von Wafer or DJ Strawberry will crack this rotation and contribute at all. Might as well let someone else pay them to develop overseas and give them a shot next year.

as expected
