Happy to see chuck wagon back! he will be HUGE in the development of the young bigs like dmo, capela, and harrell. i'm calling it now, he's gonna be on the coaching staff next year.
Nostalgia aside, I like this move for obvious reasons. He doesn't need to part of the rotation to play spot minutes and still make an impact. This is a smart move for a team that potentially has to go through LMA, Blake or The Brow to advance in the postseason.
Man that playoff team had so many fan favorite players. Yao, Battier, Hayes, Landry, Lowry (for a while), Brooks, Scola etc. No doubt in my mind if at least Yao was healthy in that playoff run, we would have #3 by now. No way Carmelo torches Artest/Battier as well as Kobe does. Yao always handled Dwight when they faced each other.
