WOW!! What happened to....
...Greg Buckner
The guys minutes have hit rock bottom this year. Getting only 8 min per game and only 7 games played.
I remember watching a recent Sixer game waiting to see if I could catch Buck in the game and I only caught a glimpse of him with his head buried in his hands on the bench. I was hoping for big things for him at Philly. The guy was nothing but a class act with the Mavs and wish him nothing but the best.
I don't know his contract status but I hope he can catch on with another team.
He's averaging .9 pts - .7 rbs - .9 ast.
I guess Salmons and Thomas is taking his minutes away. Hang in there Buck!!!

Is Griff playing at all in Houston?

Griff and Buckner played good D on Kobe though.

RE:WOW!! What happened to....
According to Real GM, Greg Buckner has four years remaining on his contract, so at least he won't need to worry where his next meal is coming from.
[Ducking rotten fruit thrown by the anti-Nelson majority] Nelson gets a lot more from his players than most coaches. A lot of guys look good here and are rewarded with a contract elsewhere--Calvin Booth, Greg Buckner, Adrian Griffin, etc.

I bet Pat Riley could have made stars of them however.

RE: WOW!! What happened to....
Griff and Buck are both good role players since they play defense and always go hard. Bucker is not, however, a 3mil a year player. Philly screwed up there and Cuban did a good job of showing restraint for a change.
IMO, the Sixers also overpaid for Kenney Thomas. He's a nice player, but I think he signed for about 7 years at 7 per year.

After a great Utah series, Calvin Booth goes to Seattle and disappears with injuries.

Wow, Griff STILL hasn't come off IR yet. I know he had surgery, but dang. I used to kinda like him. Hope he gets to play at some point.
