How many days before the JRich trade did Mullin say there’s no way he’d trade Jason?

“No. We like Jason a lot. His growth, his potential is great and he’s a huge part of our success.”

at the end of last season. This is nothing new, he is just getting a litlle more vocal now, since it has not happened yet.
Mullin is gonna say how important he is, to not decrease his value. Teams try to lowball you, when they know you have to move someone.

Al is a pretty good shooter for a big man, would Nellie be that anxious to move him? Wright hasn’t shown a good outside shot has he?

Everyone knew what his was capable when he played for Indiana. And mostly everyone on this post was juiced when we finally landed him. He is meeting his expectations (3 point shooter) and now everyone’s turning their backs on him and saying he should be traded.

Thin line between love and hate.

Or my fav: All is fair in love and basketball.

He feels that he’s not wanted!! LOL, give me his salary and you can ‘not want’ me all you want. I’ll sit my not wanted a$$ right on the end of the bench!!!

I was stoked about landing Al at the time also. But, I think people were juiced about the possibility of a young big, oozing with talent, ready to explode under Nellie’s guidance. Unfortunately, in his time here, Al has shown what he is: A talented yet unspectacular big who refuses to get dirty. We can’t build a team with Al as a main component, given his flaws as a player and obvious desire to play on a team that can afford to hide his shortcomings. He simply makes too much money to be a 6’9 spot up shooter. I say we let some other team become enamoured with his “tools” and we go another direction.

Hopefully he just busts his hump, and has a nice 13 point ppg, and 4.5 rebounds off the bench after BW takes over the starting role after the first month of the season.
