We signed Adam Morrison? When did this happen? Haha, the dude has TWO Championship rings. WTF

[StillUnknown]

It's really not that serious. It's a meaningless preseason game and apparently Saunders didn't really care. The coach isn't stupid. Gilbert has looked excellent so far in the preseason.

As they should have. It's a crazy thing to do and a worse thing to admit to. Doesn't he get it at all?

Not so innocent anymore, is it? I'm sorry, GA is just too weird for his own good. Many of his antics have proven that his judgment is sorely lacking. It's too bad because I used to love Gilbert the player.

Which is what you'd expect. But in the grand scheme it's not really that relevant. Gilbert is just looking for a way to help out a struggling teammate. If he doesn't come out and say this in the media, he doesn't get fined. The team has to take it's due course now that it is public knowledge.

in his present form, Gil is poison.

the sooner he's gone, the better. we're stuck with his ass unless he violates the personal conduct policy

I must have missed this signing when it happened. Is he supposed to be sharp shooting type role player for us? I recall him essentially being a bust for Charlotte considering he was taken so high, plus he tore his ACL. Does anyone have any insight or expectations for him?

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

How have Seraphin and Booker looked? I'm excited about both of them. Especially the latter. I heard someone on the radio the other day comparing him to Nene. But they said he's further along at this point than Nene was.

I work and go to school evenings so it's hard for me to catch games right now.

[No Excuses]

Seraphin is REALLY raw. He's a physical specimen (and this is without ever being in a proper work out program) but his game is not developed at all. But in the few minutes he's gotten so far, you can see that he just wants to bully people out there. He'll put his back to the basket and back people down with ease. He aggressively attacks rebounds and runs the floor very fluidly. But his game is just not developed at all for him to be part of an NBA rotation.

Booker hasn't impressed me. He didn't impress me in the SL and he hasn't so far in the preseason. He's really short for a PF and has no game on the offensive end to be run as an SF. He doesn't attack rebounds and he can't shoot and has no offensive game. Not liking him at all so far. Seems out of place in the NBA. He won't be able to use his speed and hops like he did in college. His best hope is to develop a 3 pt. shot so he can be used as a big defensive SF. He looks like Ron Artest but plays like Michael Ruffin (ok well not THAT bad on offense but he's a self check at this point).

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Yeah Booker was pretty invisible in the summer league. Which isn't a good sign from a 1st round pick. I think the draft strategy of the Wiz was to take the BAA. Best athlete available and hope they can mold him into a legitimate NBA basketball player. I think too that they envision Wall as an Isiah Thomas type of player and just surround him with tough, hard nosed bigs that will bamg with the other team. And Gil can be Joe Dumars.

If I have ever extras, I'll shot you a PM .

That will be sweet man. I'm working six days a week but if I can find a way to get there, I'm there for sure.

I see it as him trying to be a mentor and a leader. Young had 24 points, so I can't say that I'm mad at Gilbert.

[Chachie]

No.

[pjfootballer]

Booker had 8 pts and 4 rbs a game in the summer league. Did anyone really expect him to come in and take a starting spot? He's a backup that will eat 6-12 minutes a game. That's all. I thought he showed alot of hustle and energy. Not ready to cut this guy yet.

[Rocky21]

I railed on the Booker trade at the time so I'm sticking with it. Despite the fact that he played 4 years in the ACC he doesn't seem that polished to me. Maybe he'll come on though.

Gilbert is a straight up retard. He has a mental illness and it's going to be a long 3 more years.
