How did Collier survive today's cuts?

We could have selected: Turkoglu, Mason, Richardson, Magloire, Claxton, Peterson, Harvey, Stevenson, Tsakalidis, Madsen, or even Micheal Redd. You take any 5 fans out of any NBA arena and 5 out of 5 fans will either tell you any of those players is lightyears better than Collier as a player - or they will just ask "Who the F**k is Jason Collier??"

And this business that we got Eddie Griffin because of Collier is utter bullsh!t. Collier got us the #23 pick. New Jersey made that deal because of the #13 and #18 we were giving them. The #23 was in all likelihood NOT a deal breaker and we could have likely offered them some other asset in lieu of it if the Bucks trade had never been made.

Collier does not belong in the NBA regardless of whether he is still under contract. I wish the front office would have cut their losses and moved on by just waiving him and retaining a player who could actually help the team in some way, shape, or form.

Pippen,

Great points. What is needed on this site is less emotion and more facts! We all love the Rox! That is the reason that we are here. Rudy is so dumb to give Collier 10 min instead adding to Ming's minutes. Collier is horrible and stays out of shape. Where is his pride after Rudy & CD's mistake. Richard Jefferson and Jason Collins aren't doing that bad in Jersey!

Big,

Trusting Rudy's eyesight sober is risky at best. Torres is a better player than Mickeal and Hawkins. He started some games last year. Rudy is a bad evaluator of talent. Les is paying way too much for the yes men that are scouting or coaching. They can't all agree with Rudy or CD on the bad moves they make. Robert Barr&Bill Berry? Gone.

Give me break. Hows this for a fact jack! Ming has been here 1 and a 1/2 weeks and everyone thinks he should be starting or playing starters minutes. Until Ming has time to gel and get comfortable with the other players and plays, he's going to be a liability out there and its not because of talent! Think about what Ming has been through lately. Geese, no one has any patience anymore.

Yeh RT is real dumb for putting an experienced player in a regular season game over a rookie who's been what Ming has been through the past two weeks.

MING IS NOT READY YET PEOPLE! GIVE IT TIME!!!!!!!1
