    Good start. Now, let's move on to getting rid of MCW and Melo.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAH brilliant.

    From day dot this guy showed absolutely zero to warrant an NBA spot.

    It's made even sweeter knowing you're right, when it also proves holic wrong. Again.

    This guy can't quit catching those Ls

    wouldn't be surprised if this is simply a "lux tax profit" move and we don't really need the extra roster space for any other player

    "Someone is going to pick up Zhou and we will regret it.

    The fact Capela is making $15-$19 million over the next 5 years while we just waived Zhou on a minimum deal, disgusting.

    We will regret making this move."

    :D

    I got criticized for criticizing Zhou for missing all those 3 pointers a few years ago

    I wanted him to make them.
    @heypartner

    It's not like the fans wanted Rafer Alston to miss shots

    Good luck to him, I think he can still make it somewhere, he plays hard and he's super tall

    This is a marketing pick.

    Just watch those banners in TC with all kind of Chinese words that you do not understand and then you should understand why they had made this pick.

    Disappointed. Was hoping his ridiculously lanky body would develop into something. We haven’t had a breakout second rounder/late first since Chandler. Used to be easy for a Morey to find the Brooks, Landry’s, and Parsons. Seems to be harder to find that diamond in the rough last several years.

    Why do you want to be suddenly politically correct?

    He sucks, end of story.

    But you don't need to hide your joy on this.

    can't you see this likely means we're getting one of the Gasol brothers?

    Hopefully Qi can continue to develop with the Vipers. I too think a trade might be coming up, since House hasn't gotten a guaranteed contract as yet. I think Zhou is slightly better than Nanu.

    There are different people having different reasons for this.

    But for lots of us, the reason is simple : we can stop a lots of stupid arguments (mostly irrational and sometime even racist) on a trash player that will never contribute to this team.

    Amen.
