    Came into training camp severely out of shape. Then played like shit when he practiced with the team. D'Antoni said he doesn't fit his system right and therefor won't have a consistent role with the team. Then he ended up getting a few minutes and he hurt his knee (probably because of all that weight on it). This all happened at the very beginning of the season.

    Did I hear someone say we'd have to give up at least Rudy and Joel for Chris DUHON? wow... lol.
    But that would've been a solid trade for both teams. Lee/Nene/K-Mart would be formidable, and Kleiza seems to be the perfect player for D'Antoni's system. The guy seems to never miss against us, and I bet he'd average 15-20 a game in NY.

    Duhon didn't suck for the Bulls. He was their best pure PG, started a lot of games, and was a key player on the teams that won 47 and 49 games. He's a dreadful shooter - that's the only real knock against him. Otherwise, he was the guy who guarded Kobe for us.

    Wow... Denver just secured their spot on the playoffs with that one. With Lee playing the way he has this year and likely getting big money soon, I hope that Denver isn't able to retain him after the season. Talent wise, he would've been the perfect backup to Oden and Aldridge.
