Re: Dajuan Wagner gets a contract! http://www.courierpostonline.com/apps/pbcs...ID=200660922011<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Former Camden High School basketball star Dajuan Wagner has agreed to a two-year contract with the NBA's Golden State Warriors.Wagner's agent, Cherry Hill attorney Leon Rose, said Wagner would sign with the Warriors and report to their training camp in early October.Wagner, the state's all-time leading scorer in boys' basketball with more than 3,400 career points, sat out of basketball last season with health issues.Wagner underwent surgery for colitis in November.Wagner was a four-time All-South Jersey player at Camden, graduating in 2001. He played one season at the University of Memphis.Wagner was the No. 6 overall pick in the NBA draft by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2002. He played three seasons for the Cavaliers but his playing time was limited by a series of injuries and by illness.</div>Wagner signed a 2-year deal with Golden State. Awesome! Wagner was very impressive coming out of HS, then he had a good year ta Memphis. I remember he averaged double-figures his rookie year in Cleveland as well, like 12 ppg. I hope he has a successful comeback!Still waiting on Jay Williams though...EDIT: Forgot to post link.
Re: Dajuan Wagner gets a contract! Yay, I'm glad he finally got a contract...after getting his damn colon removed...wow...Hopefully he plays himself into the rotation. :yahoo:
Re: Dajuan Wagner gets a contract! That's a hard rotation to crack, but with Baron Davis expected to be injured every year for some amount he should get minutes. He'll fit in with any smallball Nellie wants to play definately. He's more a of 2 anyways.
Re: Dajuan Wagner gets a contract! Im looking foward on seeing how healthy he is. Wonder if he gets the backup spot for PG instead of Keith Mcleod

Re: Dajuan Wagner gets a contract! Monta and Wagner are playing PG most of the time now. I'm guessing Baron is going to be playing SG most of the time. Good signing, should be interesting to watch both Wagner and Ellis play together.
Re: Dajuan Wagner gets a contract! GS, hm I kinda wanted the Cavs to take a look at him but nice pick up.
Re: Dajuan Wagner gets a contract! Sixers really missed out on this could have helped their bench too

We already have three little men who play exactly the same way as him, one of whom happens to be Allen Iverson and the other two are a poor man's version of Iverson (as is Wagner). I'm happy with Willie Green and Louis Williams at the moment.Plus, we already worked Wagner out (he is good friends with Iverson), and the coaching staff felt the same way I do, but I'm very happy to see him back in the league. Hopefully this time around he won't be bombarded with injuries.
Re: Dajuan Wagner gets a contract! Damn, he will probably get 0 minutes, but atleast he is back in the NBA. Congrats Dajuan.The dude is an amazing scorer. Hopefully he can come back strong.
Re: Dajuan Wagner gets a contract! I was wondering when he would return. Too bad the Cavs didn't resign the guy. I could have seen him starting over Eric Snow; no lie. I think he won't get a lot of minutes due to Golden State's line-up already being locked up, but at least he'll get some chances to shine. Meh...

Re: Dajuan Wagner gets a contract! I hope that Wagner gets some minutes, and that he'll have a healthy season. Good to see him back in the L.
