    I don't think Sergio was a cancer or locker-room problem. Sure, he felt he should've gotten more minutes but I think he was able to openly express his concerns to Nate/KP on several occasions but in no way did he divide the locker room.
    Oh well... it'll be interesting to view Sergio objectively now as an opponent, and I guess Westphal is one of the few coaches that will allow him a longer leash.

    Is the next thread on how Jarrett Jack can make it work in Indiana? Or how Zach Randolph can make it work in Clipperville?

    He comes into an almost ideal situation. Their incumbent is a crappy PG, their draft pick PG is a combo guard freshman. If he can not make it happen there... well... there will be no-one else to blame.

    Good luck to Sergio. Can't wait to see Bayless driving to the rim at will against the Kings.

    Jarret Jack works for Indiana just fine - as their backup PG. It was a .400 team that won .480 when he was on the court and sounds like he is more likely to be there instead of TJ Ford for next year (they only won .370 with TJ on the court)...

    Jack is what he is - an NBA level backup PG/Combo-guard.

    Sergio will be lucky to be that good.

    Ben, on BlazersEdge has a pretty clear vendetta against Sergio. Did anyone else read his unsubstantiated diatribe about Sergio being a locker room cancer? That's news to me, and was never mentioned in any of J Quick's Behind the Beat articles.

    Me thinks you should ask Ben about that as he'll be covering our upcoming KP meet & greet. :cheers:

    While I agree that I dont think Sergio was a cancer.. I just dont think that if he was, it wouldnt be mentioned in Quicks Behind the Locker room Door articles. Every single player would shut him out, if he said things liek that in the article.

    This is what Ben said in his post draft article. Reads like complete and utter bullshit to me.

    Ben is pretty subjective when it comes to Sergio because he is so pro-Bayless so until someone like Brian Hendrickson or even Quick can confirm this I would take this with a grain of salt.

    Yeah, could be as simple as Sergio refusing to give him an interview. Reporters hold grudges just like anyone else.
