    apparantly he wants outta seattle, i forgot,is he good or was it another guy out there who can hit from the outside thats a tall euro lookin guy?,anyway think he'd be of use here,or perhaps get him and trade him,kinda like they did when sheed played one game for the hawks? just wondering,if he's not the guy i am thinkin of, my bad, nevermind.

    you're confusing him with radmonovich. potapenko is a bruiser ... a taller and less talented version of fortson.

    ^^ Exactly. If you're not sure about someone on another team why not find out, oh I don't know, on your own maybe with just a few clicks instead of making a new thread about it?

    There are better backup center stiffs at 6 million/season. Cato? Battie?

    I love how everybody on this board thinks they have a right to eat out the other members. :rolleyes:

    If anyone that matters (Clutch crew) is upset over the thread they will close it.

    Potapenko, he isnt a bad player, and next year or two we will need a new back-up Center.

    one of my scenarios is could we give up garbage for him then trade him for someone we need, like detroit did with sheed. times are tough, so we are all a lil sensitive here :D

    But who would possible want....in the words of steven A. Smith...Vitaaaly Potttapenko....after we trade for him? sheed was traded twice in a week because he has great trade value. vitaly is averaging 3 pts and 2 rbs in 15 mins. We have No use for him because he would take up no ones minutes. Deke, Howard, and Swift are all much better players

    First of all, its bad enough if we're trading for him for now...If we are trading for him for the FUTURE....we are definitely in huge trouble, and the league needs to shut down for a lack of talent availability

    Yeah, tell me about it :rolleyes:

    I just think it's kinda dull that know matter how bad a guy sucks there HAS to be a thread made about him if he wants to go elsewhere. And the fact that cuneo had NO IDEA what this guy did or position he played, but still had to throw up a 'what should we do' thread about him. Sorry, it's just frustrating, still I shouldn't have said that, my bad.

    let's see a 30 year old averaging 3.4 ppg and 2.8 rebounds would make this team a championship contender........ :confused:

    Man don't apologize. So what you mixed him up with Radmanovic. Not everyone here knows every player in the League and knows where to get the inside information that they really want.

    I'll throw a 2nd round pick at the "Ukraine Train" and use him as a practice dummy for Yao. ;)

    I think we should grab him if only for the fact that it would be fun to hear all of the different ways that Clyde would pronounce "Potapenko".

    i think u were talking about radmanovic... yeah he's a PF with a 3 pt shot.. has some offensive skills but poor defender from what i know... he's in his contract year like mike james and is looking for more minutes and touches.. i dont know if he's a right fit for here.. maybe, maybe not
