    Wafer is playing great, barry is playing ok. But one of them will be replaced by battier or artest off the bench. Who do you think it will be?

    Well he's already a bench warmer, even without battier right now.

    Not good enough for me. I won't be satisfied until he's on the inactive list.

    Barry and Wafer are both pretty good IMO. Barry has the court vision but wafer has the athleticism to take it to the hoop. Both can shoot the 3s. I really think we are lacking in athleticism right now and wafer is a HUGE upgrade at the 2 IMO.

    Let me just say this: Barry better start shooting and hitting. 37.5%/31.3% aint' gonna cut it over the long term.

    Unless Barry totally keeps sucking for quite a bit longer the rookie will be the odd-man out. It's just RA's style to stick to vets until they are pushed out of the rotation. Loyal to a fault at times.

    Wafer is definitely making his case for more playing time, that's for sure.

    I think Dorsey may be convinced to go to the D-League and open a spot for Battier.

    If SF3 makes it back (probably won't happen) in the next month or so, then the next to go should be Luther Head.

    If Deke is resigned, then it becomes very tough to figure out who the odd man out will be, but Morey will likely wait for a significant injury or trade to occur to one of our top 12 rotatoin players before this happens.

    T-Mac. He will finally be able to rest his knees for a while. Now he's only 50% of himself. You don't expect him to keep playing like this the whole season, right?

    Wafer played good,he won Adelman's trust,while Luther Head is out of rotation,you should add a candidate of Head

    althought i voted vafer.

    But the player i think will get the short end will be hayes. We might be seeing more of a tmac, battier and artest combo while yao is resting. Then the hayes/landry combo.

    Hence unless the C/PFs are being dominated by the other team, hayes time will be reduce.

    Luther is bad but he still deserves a seat in the rotation, at least he's a little bit better than Tracy (especially when take his gabage contract into consideration ). I've nothing againest her, I just frankly advice her to spend more time at home with her family.

    I think Luther needs to be gone period this Wafer guy is really good he's taller more athletic and he is aggressive offensively.

    You gotta be kidding me. :D If he's back in great shape and 100%,he could do anything and be unstoppable night in and night out.

    I'll go with Wafer because he's contributing to this team under the limited playing time he's given.I should say he's as more productive as Landry did last year.

    Brent has been playing well but I've noticed the stats that his 3pt shooting percentage has fallen in this past 11 games,what happened? spacing problem? I think we should put that in focus coz we have a lot of spot up shooters who can shoot 3.

    I know everyone here hates Luther, but the way Barry has been playing, Luther should have started taking all of his minutes several games ago.
