    Are we going to re-sign him? We could use him off the bench.

    I wouldn't count on it. He sucked last season.

    He showed some promise, but then went out of the rotation and never came back. I'd rather take a look at Covington to see if he's ready for some minutes or see what else we can pilfer from FA/trade routes.

    He's a good wing to keep if someone gets injured. He's still young, he can only get better.

    Given the state of our bench right now, I'd throw a cheap contract his way of nothing else surfaces. He had some good games, not sure why he disappeared, but I think the potential is there.

    At this point he could probably be our starter.

    His 3pt shot fell off last season but he played good defense. Hope he works on his shot and makes the rotation

    he had a couple decent games, then just lost all of his minutes. sometimes he looked decent, sometimes he looked horrible.

    He started off great right after the trade, but faded away.

    Wouldn't mind resigning him to a cheap contract to see what he has.... according to some reports he has been the hardest working (ex?)rocket this off-season.

    Yeah idk what happened to him. After he was traded here, he looked like our main wing off the bench. Had a few great games... then had a couple subpar games and never saw the floor after that. Wish McHale would have given him more time.

    I really liked his defense last year but he basically shot himself out of rotation. I mean McHale went to an undrafted rookie in the players rather than Hamilton. Says a lot.

    I think an offseason would do him good but he is a free agent. Idk if we will sign him back but if he doesn't get any better offers, I would welcome him back. He was much better than Garcia or Casspi and he could fill in pretty nicely for Harden and Ariza.

    I say sign him again for defense reasons. He clearly didn't want the ball in his hand on offense. Fumble that ball more than Brett Favre
