Stephen Graham signs with NJ 

Post#1 » by dmutombo321 » Wed Sep 15, 2010 6:33 pm

Signed a two year 2 million deal.

Hulk's departure is not unexpected but this is still disappointing.

I actually liked him better off the bench than Carroll (who, incidently, will be paid over 400% more than Hulk to fullfill the same role).

Hulk was a good shooter, a physical defender and IMO had a little bit of offensive versatility.

Hulk Smash for us no more.

:(

He's going to be burried deep in Jersey behind T.Will, Morrow, Outlaw and James.

Hey, wait a minute!! They now have a surplus of wings. Now's the time to swoop in and steal T.Will away!!

YIPEEEEEEEEE!!

I liked him playing for Charlotte. I think we will miss his energy on the court.

He was surprisingly better than I thought he would be and never appeared to be a liability on the floor. Agreed that he did show some flashes of offense as well. Very good bench player, but can't say that I'll miss him terribly. However, like dmutombo says - I would much rather have him on the floor than Carroll. I actually cheered out loud when we traded away Carroll's crappy contract. Now we have Carroll and Diop. Yay.
