See? And people were sounding like Green would be a sure thing. He didn't look bad in the limited time, bit who knows what they see in practice.

Dissapointed that Green didn't make the cut. He looked good last night. The guy deserves a shot somewhere.

He might have asked to be cut if he wasn't going to be on the active roster or knew he wouldn't play here. He could go overseas again and get PT/money. Or maybe another NBA team.

Totally agree...walker aka captain groin shoulda been waived. Jared jefferies is dantonis son I'm convinced

Green is 5 years older than Walker, and in limited time looked ok. Not sure how anyone can say he is better than Billy Walker though.

not only that but MDA and Knicks did a class thing by getting him some burn last night to showcase a bit. When would he play?

With the schedule the way it is I'm sure he could have gotten some run and helped the team in some way. If he asked to be waived that's one thing but I can't see a guy whose been tryng to get into the league ofor over 8 years asking for that.

But didn't we have 1 more roster spot anyway? And now we will have 3 in a shortened game heavy season? What is up, who are we going to sign?

Or maybe I did read you sentence and I'm really really slow...

He got cut! Seriously, we might be resigning him. That would help Mr. Fields

Not quite ready to start the Billy Walker fan club, but I like Walker. His shooting can be lights out, and while he's not as strong of a defender as Shawne was, I do expect him to help fill Shawne's role.

Not many sexy names past our starting 5, but I'm really liking our bench.

weird, we need as many bodies, with these injuries and so many back to back to back games.
I think its clear to say Balkman will be part of the rotation with this, maybe the first person off after Jorts, playing both forward spots.
We could have used both bodies, at least retaining Green, till Walker returns.
Maybe this is a sign that we are targeting someone else as Dantoni likes what he sees in Novak?

Hunter was the only athletic PF/C, aside from our starting lines in Amare and Chandler.
If we were going to do this, I would have loved the addition of Sean Williams.
He is athletic and 6'11 to play that role but Dallas already signed him to a 2 year deal.

I love what we saw from Jorts but they have different games, compared to Hunter.
I am totally against giving Jared Jeffries more than 8minutes a game.
Preferring not to play him on most nights, or 2-4minutes just for a short breather.
I hope this means Balkman/Jorts are both taking the PT that JJ was getting last year.

We couldn't watch Hunter in the game as he never got to play. but Green looked decent, with the limited minutes he had.
He showed ability to hit the wide open 3 and do a little of everything, with RBs, passing, and a little defense.
Most importantly, I joined his fan club, I want a refund!
