    I think this really hurt morey and Mchale. They obviously really wanted to keep this kid. If not for the Dorsey contract, dorsey would've been waived.

    Necessary move though.

    this sucks, he was doing well with us. He'll be picked up by another team, no doubt.

    Once again Dorsey's contract saves him.

    Guy brought energy and really worked his butt off to make the roster. Had several good moments and a great game against Memphis. Hopefully he gets an opportunity to shine.

    We gave him a chance to be in the NBA. A taller version of Chuck Hayes. He'll find his way back to us.

    Honestly I preferred Dorsey to him, and Adrien to both of them. But it doesn't matter now.

    Morey went Black and went back. :(. Good luck, Tarik! I wonder who will claim him off waivers.

    Good thing - don't have to wait for a physical cause of a trade. Smith can play today.

    Bad thing - i like TB, wish he could have stayed a rocket.
