^^ good luck with that. Bulls will probably tell you Asik will be a better player than JV. And to be honest it isn't impossible

Clearly defense is the difference between winning and losing for this team.

In my opinion you keep Jamaal. He'd be a much better mentor than Dalembert would be for a fraction of the price. He'll make sure that JV adapts to the physicality of the NBA sooner rather than later.

Isn't our goal to have less scrubs on this team? Gray is decent, under contract and a much better player than Magloire, sadly.

Gray is not under contract next year. He signed a one year deal with us.

What's funny is that I had lunch with Terrence Ross' agent yesterday. We talked about every possible scenario. Toronto never came up.

We definitely need some1 behind or infront of Val next yr not named Gray or Mags. I'm all for Gray as a 3rd string C but I'd wan't another C footer here too. Asik is the perfect guy who I'd make our #1 target in the off season. I'd give him 7-9mill per. Maybe we can pick up a C in the draft. But yea I wan't a rotation of Bargs / Val / Amir / ??? C. Ed Davis becomes available to fill another hole...

It's his way to react to such injuries. Same was in utena, same in few other matches. I don't think it was a big deal, but stupid latvians should go to hell with such foals.

Yeah I guess he overreacted. Looked bad. Loved how the coach was pointing his finger right at the guy.

got hacked from behind, while trying to dunk. Landed on his ankle awkwardly, i hope nothing serious.

Last year he sprained his ankle during a game, he reacted pretty much the same. Jonas even said it was his first time he sprained his ankle...

That was a nasty foul by latvians. Hacked from behind and Jonas got injured. Doesnt seem all that serious. His facilal expressions are mostly overreacting. He isnt used getting injured so reacts rather painfully (like last year).
