all this talk about Nichols -- now, he's gone.... tsk tsk

I'd rather have Jared Jordan than Nichols.

Nichols is a good player, better shooter than Jordan by far. But that was a packed team, I'm just hoping he will get a chance somewhere else.

I hope they find different teams. I feel Jordan can be a good Point guard in a couple of years and Demtris Nichols could be a good player too.

 

[DJT]

Yea hopefully someone will have their eye on them and pick them up. Also Nichols was from Syracuse, and probably could of brought a lot of people to the games.

Jordan and Nichols were both very talented players. I'm mad that we had to drop them, but we couldn't have 20 people on the roster.

I am sad that they cut Jordan. They just basically gave away a 2nd Round pick for nothing. Oh well can't always win right? Anyways Jordan is a phenomenal player that can develope into the next Steve Nash if he is coached properly. I can see him signing a deal with a team looking for a young PG who can lead the floor and not shoot unless he's wide open. One.

I don't know about the next Nash, but I too think that he could wind up being a very good PG. I thought the Clippers were a perfect fit for him, I guess not. I think he could wind up in Orlando to be honest, Arroyo's on the trading block and Jameer Nelson has been anything but consistent...

NO NO NO.

What the hell are they thinking? all three guys could be nba players, Jordan isnt the next nash but he will be a great pg. He plays ALOT like J-Kidd. I would have much rather these guys stay but thats how it goes i guess...

 

[DJT]

Yea I don't see why they cut these guys and keep players like Jerome James (who most likely will never see any PT) and Malik Rose.
