Ah damn! Would have liked to see him back here especially with our lack of shooters.

I bet playing time was probably the main reason he picked LAL.

I think we are going to regret not keeping him.

Mike will no doubt play him at power forward. At least then his inability to dribble wont be as much of a hindrance.

I doubt the Suns offered a whole lot more, if anything, so he had little incentive to re-sign here. The Suns, despite being awful last year and despite not having better SG options, didn't even give him meaningful playing time until late in the season. I also think he is not a big fan of Beasley and will welcome a chance to get away from him finally.

Not to mention he seems ideally suited for Mike D's offense.

who cares , he did not do anything really... people say he can shoot but even that is at best streaky..

If Kobe hated Howard's happy-go-lucky attitude, wait until he sees Johnson grinning all game, even during losses.

This is what 5 or 6 notable games a year gets you in the NBA. Way to show up for 7 percent of the season, Wes.

I can't believe someone drafted this kid fourth.

Well aren't we picky. So he was a 23 year old rookie wing player who could not pass, shoot, defend, rebound or even dribble the ball... its the 4th pick! That late in the draft you're screwed unless there is still a Zeller brother left on the board.

LOL. What do they give you if you collect the entire Zeller set? And do they have to be in pristine condition to draw top dollar? We really should have left our Zeller in the shrink wrap.

Are they worth more than the Morris, Lopez and Griffin sets?

Damn I can't believe that we have had a brother of another NBA player on our team four times in the past 5 years. And that's without counting Jarron or Jason Collins who was on our team for some time.
