    Wait til they come up for contract extensions.

    Also... any updates on your rumors from last week?

    All quiet on that front right now...I'll try and push for some new info next time I've got a chance.

    I will say, and this is just my opinion--nothing I've heard, this is a crucial part of our season. I know our schedule has been rough and we have been integrating new players but it's nearing the put up or shut up time of the season. If we can sustain our play from the last two games going forward I truly doubt we make a move. But if we slip up again and go on another small slump I think NO and the front office will be forced to address the frontcourt.

    Yeah, if they can keep that talent together and avoid the injury bug, they're going to be tough in a couple years.

    I do not want any part of getting Wes back. I don't care how well he is shooting at the moment, we need guards with handles. Come playoff time when the defensive pressure is increased, it becomes more important. Sure he would be a good role player off the bench, but we have those already.

    We have three of them on massive contracts already. How many do we need?

    What we NEED is guards who can actually defend a chair. Wes could even defend one on rollers.

    It's the coach/players protest to NBA scheduling IMHO.

    They're keeping him out so he doesn't get traded before the 15th.

    Did he recently get that back too? Because the last time I watched him he could not stay in front of anyone
