Don’t count your back discs before they hatch, mike. We should have to assume there will be plenty of games where Wallace will be doing his finest Hughes impression, earning money for doing little but writhing around in pain. My guess is that if the Sharper Image hadn’t filed for bankruptcy, Wallace would have spent a considerable amount of the forthcoming regular season laying back on one of those really cool chairs.

so be it. at least Wallace can be taken out of the game. Hughes can’t even get into the game since he’s hurt – again.

mike, no matter how ridiculously fragile Hughes is, yes, I still think they’d be better off with him. If, for no other reason, Gooden and his attention deficit disorder would still be on the team, and they’ll probably require Gooden’s offense. Wallace may indeed “know his strengths and weaknesses,” but so does even the very worst coach of every one of the 29 other teams. With Wallace, that’s the problem. Nearly $15 million on the salary cap for a guy with a back problem who has to be taken out of the game if it’s even remotely close in the fourth quarter. Ridiculous.

Sorry, but I’d still rather have Hughes (and Gooden). At least Hughes’ tattoos were fun to look at.

alan – did you hear the news that Hughes is out (again) for 6-8 weeks with a separated shoulder? you still think this team would be better off with that injury prone, overpaid stiff? i’ll take ben wallace’s rotting corpse with his bad back over hughes anytime. at least wallace knows his strengths and weaknesses, rebounds, plays decent defense and knows his role. hughes never could seem to figure out he was a slashing-style shooting guard who couldn’t shoot and was too injury prone to slash on a regular basis.

Technically, George, it was just some retarded goof impersonating me.

Anyway, your point is noted. If James stays healthy, they have a fairly decent chance to win the East. If James gets hurt, they’re a lottery team.

I’ve always wondered what that silly sports cliche means, anyway. Somebody needs to “step up.”
