Aaron Gray

Not that it matters because he is worthless(Just ask POB). But it is Aaron Gray.

For the Jazz, Kyle Korver is sitting out...

speaking of injuries...
Celtics' Bill Walker is still struggling with knee problems...all stemming from rushing the kid out of high school in the middle of his senior season
and getting him eligible to play at Kansas State and then playing him hard at the college level....causing a bad ACL rupture.

Makes you wonder if Kansas State actually got even one win they wouldn't have otherwise had...at a cost of this talented kid maybe never being quite the same...
Rushing kids back from knee injuries has hurt a couple Valley kids as well....costing them in the long term...

Bulls win 102-101 on a last second shot by rookie James Johnson, who Bradley recruited. I wish we could have landed him, I think he'll be a good one!

For being worthless he sure has gotten a lot more playing time than POB. One game doesn't make a career. POB,so far, is proof of that.

POB vs. Aaron Gray

I understand your point. I just have such a low opinion of Aaron Gray's ability that I can't say I care that he has achieved more. Patrick hasn't really shown any success in the NBA, but I have no doubt that if he had the same opportunity as Gray he would have done as well or better. I just don't think Aaron shows much of anything. He has done more than I thought he would though.

Don't get me wrong, I hope POB can finally put it together. But for being "worthless" because of a bad game against the Braves, and I'm glad it happened during that game, Gray has sure as H##L
made a lot of money also. At least the Bulls think enough of him so far to keep him around.

Here is an interesting article about former Bull Eddie Curry-

At one time there were some Bulls fans who were upset to see him traded to the Knicks. Now it's the Knicks who are sorry. He is now virtually untradeable, and with his $12 million salary for next year, he could sabotage the Knicks' efforts to land Lebron James as a free agent.

A guy like Gray can stick around in that league for a real long time because he is moble, can get you boards and is worth 6 fouls a game. He will never be a frachise guy or likely a guy who will play 20+ minutes a game but he is skilled enough to have a long generational money career.

He reminds me of that guy the Bulls had at center during the Jordan glory years, Will Purdue! He's relatively still young and will get better. On the right team where he is not expected to really score but body up he'll be a good.
