    I thought he was done and that JVG had too much faith in him. But since the new year, he has been playing really well. My apologies.

    My apologies to Samuel Alito

    I thought he was a crazy right-winged wacko and that Bush had too much faith in him. But since the new year, he has been behaving really well. My apologies.

    he and Jho have both earned thier stay here. hayes and baxter have done the same.

    once everyone gets back it will be interesting to see how the rotation shapes up, and who gets cut.

    also, as the deadline approaches it will be interesting to see who stays and who is dealt. hayes, baxter, and lucas might have stolen a spot or two.

    There is a big difference. One is a rocket and the other is going to be a supreme court justice.

    David Wesley's play is waaaaaay more important to me. ;)

    Notice how he suddenly improved when we can put a PG on the floor?

    hmmm...

    Wesley deserves a lot of credit. He has been consistent throughout the last few games and has helped us win.

    I am so happy my favorite player finally found his rhythm and gained respect. Please be patient from now on to those working-hard guys.

    I'll eat crow too, I thought he was finished, over the hill, washed up, nothing left, too old, etc. He has certainly picked up his game recently. But, if this is the last year of his contract (is it?) then I don't think it should be extended.

    Disagree, I don't mind having his contract extended as a bench player and a veteran that can help us win in the playoffs (see Spurs bench).

    The only problem is you can't have DW as your starting SG, he isn't fit for that role anymore.

    At the right price, however, he would be an excellent bench player and veteran leader and all-around professional to have on this roster. I just think that him and DA can't be starters, you need a younger, healthier, more capable scorer at the 2.

    He mentioned a while back that he wasn't worried about a contract because he wasn't asking for much. I think he will accept a contract for the minimum like Barry

    I was thinking starter or significant minutes, otherwise you have a point. As a bench player for reasonable money, sounds reasonable. He is a very nice guy.

    I'm confused now, are we talking David Wesley or Samuel Alito? Because if you are talking about Alito, that totally doesn't make sense.

    Skip makes him a much more productive player.

    His play started improving when he got Bowen off his back!.. :mad:
    It's hard to make a jumpshot when your constantly carring someone!.. :p
    He probably feels like he's been reborn. :D

    Can he guard Stak? Can he guard Manu? No.
    He is still the weakest piece here.
