    Salute.

    KJ Martin should be rejoicing. He may actually make the team now.

    Nwaba needs to be on Sixers or Bucks. Would have been an even bigger fan favorite if he played for D'Antoni and with Harden.

    The Luc comparison is a good one.

    His defensive intensity was only surpassed by his professionalism.

    Well said JW! I loved Nwaba's relentless effort. He was like a shark on the court, always moving, looking for an opportunity to strike. Good luck David!!

    Nwaba always plays hard when he gets minutes. Martin has all the physical talents but too many times I've seen him sulk or play lethargic when he finally gets minutes. I really want to like KJ since his dunks are pretty awesome for show but his attitude is concerning at times.

    I really like Nwaba. It's a shame we couldn't have made his time here better. I hate that he was playing for such a crappy team in his prime years and relegated to the bench behind a bunch of rookies. I get why it was done and it's best for the long haul of the team obviously but he's a good dude and I would have liked to have seen him had a successful time here.

    I agree I want to like him and see his talent flourish but I think he's a cancer and needs to go at this point. He's acting like Parsons in that he's pushy about what he wants but was a second round pick not a top draft pick. He needs to chill.

    I really liked the dude. He deserves to be on a better team. He didn’t make sense here, but he’d be good bench depth for a more veteran team. Wish him well!
