    Most surprised by the releasing of Pig. I guess they are going with Torrye (sp) Braggs.

    Surprised, too, about Pig. Maybe he's not in shape yet from his hammy? (What an injury for Mama Miller's little boy);

    Wells made the squad?

    I think Wilks is a lock to make it. I know Rudy loved to have 3 PGs on the roster just in case. I am sure JVG feels the same way. I am pretty sure Wilks will make it and ride the IR list all year until someone gets hurt.

    They will regret releasing Alex Scales. Didn't this guy play well he'll land on his feet some where in the league real soon.

    Too bad....I was hoping they would keep Gabe Muoneke......
    He seemed to show good hussle on the floor....a bit undersized for a PF though and as a result his rebounding was a little weak, but his shooting % was 50% from behind the arc and 57% everywhere else...

    I read somewhere that they can't cut Ben Davis because he is hurt......anybody know why this is?

    Im taking a wild guess here but it probably cause of the Collective Barginning Agreement. The same thing happened last year when Pete Mickeal was on the IR for 2 months and was later cut so his contract wasnt guranteed.

    Does this mean that Cornell, Wilks, and Braggs made the IR?

    I was surprised by the Pig Miller cut too. He was only with the team for about a week.
