Not me. He has been off way too long. They should add him in a trade while he still has some value instead of a pick, maybe.
Not sure what I would do with Budinger. He's somewhat a streaky shooter, and that's what he's here to do; shoot. If he's struggling and in a slump, I say play him enough to get his rhythm back. I can remember Vernon Maxwell also being an extremely streaky shooter. But yeah, play him until he gets the rhythm back, and if that doesn't happen, maybe dish him off somewhere for a pick or something. I wouldn't give up on him yet.
Potential, potential. Bah humbug. So Yao Ming is always injured and can't play? Let go of Yao! So Aaron Brooks is complaining about his contract? Ishmael Smith is here! Let go of Aaron! So Jarred Jeffries isn't or wouldn't ever play in a Rockets uniform ? Let go of Jeffries! So how much longer will it take potential to actually translate to winning games? A long time? Let go of potential and Chase Budinger! Bring in the players who are tried and tested and durable! Bring back CARL LANDRY!!! Bring back CARL LANDRY!!!
Really?

His rhythm has been effected by his injury and his role has changed somewhat from a spot-up shooter to an all-around scorer. His shot will come around sooner than later.
I'm all for giving the guy a break, it's just that if a trade comes through and he is needed to complete it, i would be upset.
