Man this sucks, I wanted him to play well so my grand plans of trading him and the GS pick for Mayo could come to fruition.

Now it's gonna have to wait until the offseason

I never really saw how he played as a starter. Now we all have to endure Quinton Ross...

Sucks, because he is better than Outlaw.

I feel for this kid...was playing well, stepping up showed a lot of maturity...literally a tough break for us, as I thought he might be used as a filler in a trade...
