Players Waived

[T Park]

If the guy is a great defender now, imagine after Bowen is done with him.

Also, a better version would include a better scorer.

Its rare that Bowen goes 10-11.

Indiana waives Jimmie Hunter and Damone Brown.
L.A. Lakers waive TonyBobbitt and Adam Parada.
Minnesota waives Lionel Chalmers, Ryan Humphrey and John Lucas.
Phoenix waives Anthony Lever-Pedroza.

I'm sure this is the first time in his life he's gone 10-11. Theron is HORRIBLE on offense. Him eventually being as good a player as Bowen is a big stretch. Better than Bowen is a pipe dream.

Dallas waives Tariq Abdul-Wahad.

Philadelphia waives Steve Castleberry and Olu Famutimi.

New Jersey waives Derrick Zimmerman.

I knew none of them would make it either. Bowen is the 2nd best perimter defender to ever play in the NBA. The best perimeter defender ever was Scottie Pippen.

[Bruno]

L.A. Clippers waive Rodney White

Rodney White, Ronald Dupree and Theron Smith : interresting

[Bruno]

Spurs should go after Mark Pope too :

Every year, when I'm with a new team, that's one less team that doesn't know that I can't play. There are 5,000 players in America better than me that aren't in the NBA.

He's not a young guy like White or Dupree but any interest in Lynch?

October 28, 2005
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- The New Orleans Hornets waived forward George Lynch

Dallas waives Tariq Abdul-Wahad.

Finally!

Ever? Bold statement. There have been so many good ones, and as is always disclaimed when making this type of statement, tough to compare eras.

Dennis Rodman, Michael Cooper, Ron Artest, Dennis Johnson, Gary Payton, Oscar Robertson, Bobby Jones, and Michael Jordan are all players that can claim they are among the best perimeter defenders in league history. I'm sure I missed several other names. Scottie was great. Bruce is amazing. Those two the best ever? I'm not quite sure.

On that 10-11, I'd be very curious about the nature of the shots. It's one thing to be 10-11 shooting midrange jumpers and 3 point bombs; it's something else entirely to be 10-11 on dunks and layups that come on plays created by others. Jerome James was 7-7 on dunks in a playoff game, but I don't think anyone would seriously argue that his line in that game was indicative of his being a good offensive player.

Plus, I think you have to account for the fact that those numbers came in preseason games, and likely against other training camp fodder.

With that said, the kid can defend, so my only quarrel is with the notion that it's possible that he'll become a better player than Bowen.
