    I wish him luck, but man am I glad we didn't re-sign him.

    I was hoping he'd be there 12/3 when Dallas comes to town. Sounds like that might not happen. :(

    It's a good thing it's not actually possible to feel sorry for Mark Cuban.

    How is it that in the nearly three months since he signed his deal, that fact never occurred to me? :smiley-bonk:

    Paul Allen must by super hesitant to sign anyone that's injury risk.

    I'd have still taken a risk on him. Like 3 years 7 mil, but not max!

    Wes doesn't just talk, I'm sure he's worked his ass off to try and be ready for the first day of regular season.

    Sure. But all the talk of actually being ready on day 1 is another thing.

    I'm sure he tried his best and thought it was possible. He's overcome doubts his whole life. I'm fine with us not resigning him but Wes doesn't talk for nothing. He may not attain every goal he sets but I believe he gave it his all and he believed it was a possible goal.

    Common sense should come in to play though. No one, not even Wes comes back that soon from an Achilles.

    Wes knew that he wasn't going to be ready. The joke is on Cuban, players and fans. I'm glad we didn't re-sign him.

    Sad fact is, he's making more than Kyrie, John Wall, Cousins and Harden.

    It's that drive, that desire to push himself is what has made him the highest undrafted player in NBA history. Sure, he didn't come back as soon as he wanted but you know he tried at least as hard if not harder then anyone else who has had that injury. Do you think Oden did everything he could to come back from MF surgery? You're knocking him for setting tough goals and pushing himself to meet them. You said his goal to be ready for opening night was just all talk. Sorry, but it wasn't.
