    What the hell? Butler is like on the third tier of elite swingman in the league (right below Joe Johnson and along the like of Richardson). Wafer is like a less talented but more coachable JR Smith. He's certainly better than the minimum contract he's getting, but he should never get more than the 3 mill we're paying Landry.

    I said from preseason when I seen this guy play that he is what we needed on our team but so many other people said things like waive him. People don't know that this guy was once considered one of the top 10 seniors in high school to many recruits.

    He has the athleticism to do it all and he works hard and that what makes a good player. Having him on the team is like almost having Genald Greene back but without the problems. He also reminds me of Azubuike of the Warriors cause of their similar size and athletic abilities (a former Rocket that was cut too). One thing he has over both of them though is his explosiveness and quickness.

    If he continues to play the way he is and improve more on his game he could possibly be like a poor-man's Manu Ginonili for the team.

    it's a little sad that Von Wafer is probably our most talented two guard since the T-Mac and Yao era.
