thats not bad then. What the hell is Pacers thinking then.

They just want him gone. He really doesn't fit into their plans anymore and he's eating up $15.5 million in cap space. Bird said that if they keep him, there are no guarantees and that he'd have to earn his playing time.

There's a lot of talk about this upshaw kid. I'd be shocked if he made team to be honest. All eyes will be on Russell and randle. I thought Gerald green should have made the team several years ago from his play in summer league. He ended up in Phoenix and has been a solid player IMO.

talk was he was actually 1st round material, so you never know. looking forward to what he can do in the Summer league...

They want rid of him because he doesn't fit their system well enough. They want to play more small ball in a faster tempo game and big men don't really run good. On the other hand, if he plays out the last year of his contract in Los Angeles good enough, he could get a long term contract that works for everyone. It's a win win for the Lakers, because you don't normally start rebuilding with marquee players instantly. You start out by getting these kind of players and then making upgrades year by year

:wtf2:
Problem is, the suspense has been building for over a year.
Wait A minute, you mean you guys have been wasting your time waiting an entire year for something that is like never going to happen?

Looks good. This change of scenery and that uniform just may recover this guy from the Indiana trash heap.
