Not to mention Kevin Love get traded away from Rudy Gay, thereby depriving everyone of endless "Gay-Love" references.
What's up with how VDN is playing Grey? I don't think I've ever seen a situation where a player only plays ten minutes a game; with five coming at the start and five coming after halftime.
Adrian Griffin and Malik Allen come to mind. See a common thread? The departed have left some traditions that remain.
Either that, or it's a message: "buy in to the team thing like Gray and you'll get to start like Gray"
They were doing the same thing with Thabo earlier. If a guy is working hard in practice, I guess they have to throw him a bone.
C'mon... Gray just snapped at the dumbass fill-in coach last year. Noc threw a towel at him and is playing big minutes. Tyrus blew him off entirely for like 3 days. Shouldn't he have his number in the rafters?
Only if you define the term loosely. The thinking with the Hawk and Malik was they both got starts under Skiles in that fashion.
