    Hurray!

    Wasn't impressed with him and I want to see CJ get more minutes.

    Yep, I know he was put in a difficult situation getting traded at the deadline, but he was a big time bust. I don't think they're going to make that much of an effort to re-sign him like David Aldridge thinks either.

    Don't blame olshey for making the deal, it was the right move at the time but man, he was bad. Some players get exposed when they play for better teams. He was very underwhelming.

    I guess I could see him coming back if he takes a pay cut for several years, like 5 mil a year for several years or something. I'm sure some dumb team like the Lakers or Knicks will pay him a lot more though.

    I liked him, wish we got to see him primarily in the role he was brought here for.
    Figured he was gone, had just hoped he would opt in so we could trade him. Oh well.

    The team is going to have a lot of money to work with now, I wonder if they could convince Wes and LMA to hang on for a little while while they work on Hibbertt and DeAndre?

    Unless they renounce one or the other of LMA/Wes, they dont have the capspace to go out and get a DeAndre or Hibbert.

    That's right, I forgot. Bye Wes too if they could convince DeAndre.

    I will be REALLY pissed if we do re-sign him. And even more if we don't re-sign Wes.

    Remind me again why on earth we want Hibbert? And by this I mean the Hibbert of the past season, not the one good season he had that one time.

    And do we have to go over the Jordan business AGAIN?

    You really deserve the team you're wishing for. But we don't.

    Would have been the perfect 6th man if Wes didn't get hurt.

    You all seem to forget what he came here for. Typical for some, though. Blame no matter what scenario plays out.

    I was hoping we could trade him for an asset. Too bad.

    I don't get how people can be happy about him opting out.

    I hope we resign him.

    Exactly. Some people around here who hate the trade forget why we got him in the first place, to help their view of seeing how the team is bad in some way. It was a great trade, and AAA was a great piece.

    People who forget why we got him in the first place, whether conveniently forgetting or not.

    His 8.2 PER was dwarfed by CJ's 13.1 -- even with CJ's AWFUL start to the season. No good reason to keep him around.
