    Jason Quick is reporting on The Game that Outlaw will be back shortly after the All Star break. :cheers:

    Report: Outlaw back on court in February

    According to JQ on 95.5, Outlaw has been cleared for contact practice as of the first practice after the all-star break, and he is expected to be able to play within that first week. Again, coming from Quick, so take it however you will.

    Hopefully a team will waive the physical and trade for him. He and Blake woul dlook great somewhere else. Batum, Webster and even Cunningham are all more well rounded players than Outlaw is, or ever will be

    Re: Report: Outlaw back on court in February

    Where is Travis going to play? I love what Nicolas and Martell are bringing at SF. And LA is at PF. I like Pendergraph, and Dante is coming along nicely. I guess we can rest Juwan a little bit, and go small with LA at center a lot. Or play Juwan and Travis together up front.

    It'll be interesting to see how Nate uses Travis when he comes back, and going back to square one with a lot of bodies and not enough minutes to go around.

    This is gonna get crazy! For a team with tons of injuries, we now have too many bodies!

    Re: Report: Outlaw back on court in February

    Webs has done pretty well lately and with his good contract, I think it's time to use him and some of the others for a trade. This needs to happen to maximize our assets

    Travis can still do one thing better than Batum (and indeed, anyone on the team other than Roy), and that is create his own offense. He's also proven to be clutch. Is there anything Webster does that Batum can't do better?

    yeah, I agree. All these things we've seen from our young third string guys. :NOTMARIS: where will they all fit!? Bench time for many. Batum will get less looks.

    travis is a redundant piece at this point. hopefully he gets moved out as i like Dante's game better than Trouts at this point.

    Hopefully Nate cuts Batum's minutes; this has the added benefit of protecting Martell's confidence and gives Travis the green light to take those really crazy circus shots of his.

    Damn, we have only one game after the AS break and before the trade deadline. Very little opportunity to show his health to potential trade partners.

    I think his expiring contract and bird rights would mean more to the team that was trading for him than his injury status on that particular day.
