    Welcome back Chuckwagon.

    His passing skills could be useful. Backdoor cuts could be in our gameplan again and that would be good for our offense. It's always good thing having a multiple options in the offense.

    Of course most important thing about him leadership. Also he can be mentor to D-Mo,TJ,Clint on the defense.

    Great news. Veteran big, can do so much for Jones and Dmo on defense. Hayes always had a strong centre of gravity, able to hold his ground.

    Vet guard in Terry, vet big in Hayes. Love it.

    Didn't he just turn 32? He's not that old I don't see how he could be useless? Weird there are no vids of his gameplay recently though except him about to kill Drummond

    Welcome back to the Chuckwagon. May you discover the success that has mostly eluded you since leaving Houston.

    This is some great nostalgia, Hayes is one of my favorite random role players ever and even if he does nothing for this team I love the move just for old times' sake.

    Last year we had a lot of injuries. Joey Dorsey even started a couple games. I am sure that Chuck will be ready if we need him to start. Hopefully we will just use him in blow outs and not have a lot of injury.

    welcome back chuckwagon! i love it! :)

    i know the wagon has a lot of mileage but then again this time around he's not supposed to be our starting center. ;)

    the only reason chuck would wait this long and agree to a partially guaranteed deal is because there were no other offers.

    From a sentimental view, I love it. I just don't know if he is still anything left.

    Just another body to bang come training camp and keep the bench warm

    He achieves both with big massive BUTT

    Otherwise he is washed up fodder

    I personally prefer Terry's experience, but getting him and Hayes makes our team, imo, perfectly whole. Our weaknesses are subsided with more experience, more offense, and one less poor Ft shooter (I don't count Hayes because he wont get nearly the minutes Smith did).

    This is our year
