Don't you have to be at least somewhat trigger-happy to get that comparison? I'd say Dion Waiters

Dion waiters is too clumsy... Henderson has the look, similar athleticism, long range two, just saw him did a mean driving dunk on TV, i instantly thought about Kobe

Well you said playing style, not talent, and while I agree that Hendo has many Kobe-ish qualities (he's been called Hobe, and Nobe on many occasions) like his love for the fall away mid-range jumper, you really have to be an overconfident chucker to have the title of "closest resemblance to Kobe". Waiters has Kobe's playing style, with roughly 2% of the talent and IQ required to play that style of basketball.

Poor Wizards, lost another close game. It'd be tough for them to get in now.

I disagree. Maybe we view the wording of these things differently but I find Hendo to be much more similar to Kobe stylistically.

Waiters's 17-foot step backs look nothing like Kobe to me. He's much more primitive and his looks are so unpolished in comparison to the shots Kobe put up. Fine, the volume of shots might be similar but even when Kobe took the toughest of attempts, his footwork more often than not was just splendid.

Waiters is too blunt with his moves. At least Hendo has the similar technique and form on his fade-aways.

Gary Neal is getting waived by the Wiz. Cho, just say "no" when Clifford comes asking.

Bonnell just said on twitter that Cliff keeps talking positive about Gutierrez and thinks he'll stick around.

Also pretty sure the only reason Neale is getting cut is because he's hurt (might be wrong on that).

To accommodate the other high priced signings next season, I think Jorge will become the backup pg next season.

I like what I have seen so far--which is very little. He is not as raw as I expected.

Crazy Pop, waived Butler instead of Bonner.

Pop likes loyalty and Bonner has been with that team for a long time.
Also Bonner can play Pf.

True, true, but that's not the only reason, he likes Bonner a bit too much for the teams' good

Heat fall in Milwaukee. Nice to finally gain some ground.

He has that shot in his arsenal. He made a few in his rare playing time here
