How many players need to be out with injury before we can request a 16th roster slot? We need to bring in another PG, and test out our D-League player asap...

Maybe we can trade Nazr for a PG?

damn.... couldn't have come at a worse time. regardless, i'd rather dj14 be 100% and healthy than half-assed an re-injure himself. i like what i've seen from singletary and shannon brown can help with the platooning duties. i would love to swing something with portland to get a package of outlaw and blake here. best of luck to dj getting healthy though. his presence will be welcomed with open arms.

From Chad Ford:

Earl Watson (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=1027), Thunder
Watson may not be the most talented player on the list, but there are two big reasons he is coveted. First, his contract expires in the summer of 2010. Second, the Thunder aren't asking for much. Oklahoma City has its point guard of the future, Russell Westbrook (http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/players/profile?playerId=3468), and is primarily interested in getting below the cap. So an offer of an expiring contract or a young player who fills a need could get a deal done.
Chance of trade: 55 percent


Hmmm...I wonder (cough..Sean May) who has an expiring contract we could use (cough...Sean May)

Better than rushing him back if he is under done, but man oh man, could we ever use him off the bench right now!!

Probably be better in the long run for him to sit out a little longer and get 100% right.

This is disheartening news...

[ammofan]

jeez......what else could go wrong?

I would like to see Earl watson here though!

For our playoff hopes, this is very bad news. Hopefully DJ will heal soon and best of luck to him. With Crash out and the bench already producing nothing, the next few games on the road will be a major challege.

Cmon DJ, just get healthy

[G-Force for MVP]

missing this much time with a strain... You have to be kidding me

LB wants his *rookie* to be 110%

LB wants his *rookie* to be 110%

I have to agree with that, the other night when we play'd Portland the announcers said LB took DJ to the Lakers doctor. The one that worked with Shaq and that doctor said DJ should sit out ten more days. They aren't trying to have another Sean May reinjury prone player.

I just totally can't wait for him to come back, I miss watching him play
