Confusing

What the?? Now I understand Davis being waived, I mean for the long term future of the team, the minutes are probably better going to Jordan. You can see the difference in potential. David would be pissed about it though, considering his career high last wek against the Kings, and what he thought may have been a lucrative off-season for him.

But why waive Fred Jones? Is his injury “long long term”? He would be a good rotation player for us if and when we get healthy.

Hopefully Dunleavy has something in the works to justify this culling. I haven’t seen something this drastic since kangaroo culling was introduced in Australia!

wth...

talk about head scratchers.

I guess we’re really just throwing in the towel. I can’t wait til they come back from the road trip and I get to see how my hard earned money went to watching that cast of idiots…
