Very smart move.

For people that want to watch, hopefully they will have a game on the NBA Dleague channel on Youtube!

Great news. Get a ton of game-situation shots up. Get the rhythm of the game down before returning to the team.

Sounds like they will.

Awesome. Perfect. Have to get him some court time before sending into the pressure cooker.

Now we wait for MM to come in here with the obligatory "send Meyers with him" post...

 

[Strenuus]

FAIL!!!

 

[BBert]

Good thread, rook!

 

[tlongII]

Gotta get him in game shape!

 

[dviss1]

FAIL!!!

You're kidding right? To me, this only means that they are trying to get him into the rotation and want him to be up to game speed.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

First LMA goes to Dallas and now this. Players seem desperate to get away from this team!

 

[OdenIsStillGod]

What? Stupid. If he's ready to go bring him up now.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Is CJ, Leonar_'s new nickname by chance?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Give him a chance to get some game minutes and confidence. I have no problem with this.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Is this how we showcase CJ?

Re: CJ won't play tomorrow

Now send Meyers to the WNBA. His haircut would fit right in.

 

[Rhal]

This is a great thing. He needs to get back into game shape and isn't accustomed to how fast the NBA is. The D-League won't be as fast or as physical as the NBA but it will be faster/more physical then college was. Also we can bring him up and send him back down 5 times this year so this is a great way for him to get more playing time then he would get on the NBA floor.

What is your big deal with trying to get rid of him? Did he insult you at a college game or something?

 

[Samuel]

You may disagree, but there's still a distinct possibility that he might be ready to jump into the rotation this year.

Are you kidding me? bring him up and send him back 5 times? He's better then Moe Williams right now and will very soon be better then Mathews.

I love when things like this happen. You can get an accurate assessment of a posters basketball IQ from their response in an instant.

Great move = higher IQ

Bad move = no IQ or troll

Yeah, because we all know your opinion trumps all.

One of your many foolish posts..

She is a FAR better poster and more basketball educated person than you. Her posts actually ADD to the forum where yours simply take away. I don't think many people in here would bat an eyelash if you were banned.

This isn't going to end well.

I'm so hurt. You have no clue how educated in basketball that I am. Your just throwing shit out there and guessing, when in reality you have no idea what you're talking about.

I simply said we can bring him up and send him back down 5 times so its really a non issue having him sent down unless of course you were expecting him to get a ton of playing time off the bat which is unrealistic.
He is a completely different player then Mathews and I'm not sure he will be better then Mathews in the next year or so, if ever.
He isn't better then Mo now but id agree I'd rather see CJ get minutes then Mo but that won't happen this year.
