    I'm disappointed. I had some reservations but I was hoping to see him play.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    If Harris is signed, I think the roster is full. No room for Wafer so why bother "re-visiting his situation soon"?

    Wow. What part did he fail?

    Good for Harris though, he definitely got a great xmas gift.

    I love Mike Harris. If people knew what he has done to his game for this team, maybe he would get more respect. He came here as a slightly smaller Landry type player. Since then he has lost a bunch of weight, done a tone of quickness/cardio training, and pushed his range beyond the three. He totally revamped his game to be less of a hybrid 3/4 and more of a true 3.

    The guy works his butt off and is always all smiles. I really hope he makes a run of it with Houston, and if not here, somewhere else. Harris will be a fan favorite. He is impossible to not like.

    Von Wafer probably showed up with the Von Hawk and the doctors weren't going to let last season's trend pass this year.

    "Failed physical" is just code for "we liked what we saw from t-mac tonight so we want him to get more minutes"

    Crazy though. Wonder where Wafer will end up? He paid 1.2 million just to get out of his contract in Europe, now if he can't land a job because of a health issue then it's really sad.

    Blessing in disguise fellas. WE DONT NEED VON. Jermaine showed some great signs out there tonight. He's just as explosive as Von, not the shooter, but look at our wing depth: Battier, Ariza, TMac, Chase, and Jermaine. Where in the world would Von fit in? Unless they are totally sure that are getting rid of TMAc before February, this move made no sense.

    Damn, did not see this coming. Everyone was so hyped up and happy then BOOM! Wafer doesn't pass his physical. Oh well, atleast we signed Mike Harris.

    This would be the "Lulz wut" moment of this season. Has Wafer been injured? How many players actually failed their physical?

    Very perceptive. As per poster, DM was visibly agitated, which probably happened when he got the news that Wafer had failed his physical. Bummer...

    Serious question: how do you fail an NBA physical? Is it not being in good physical shape or do you need to have a serious health issue (like heart trouble)?

    Yeah but it's said. He had to buy out his contract and he was so excited to play with us then he told he failed the physical. I feel bad for him, but I hope memphis signs him.
