<div class="quote_poster">Quoting kdub:</div><div class="quote_post"> GM's gotta send a message to these guys.</div> If Babcock were to suspend him it would do three big things. A. Attract a lot of attention, which Babcock doesn't want. B. Piss off Zo and make him unlikely to co-operate with future deals. C. Create pressure to trade Zo, and make us get less for him. See what happen to Jimmy Jackson. The Hornets got Casey Jackobsen for him.... I don't agree with Zo behaviour, but I can sort of understand Babcocks. Elden has much less of an ego than Zo does. So I can understand doing it to Elden. We also didn't suspend Zo because he was recovering from injuries, however I believe that should have only lasted a few weeks.
