Cedric Simmons:

vs. NO—DNP-CD

At least Gooden and Simmons aren’t hurting their teams.  While Noce had one awful game and one decent game, his team lost both.  We were used to nights like this from Nocioni; high energy, good shooting night while his team loses.  This fools coaches and management into thinking he deserves minutes and a big contract, when really he only has one decent game in five.

Hughes is back up to his old tricks, shooting just 19% from the field (I rounded up) in his two games with the Knicks.  He has got to be the most inefficient player in all of basketball.

Thabo did nothing in 18 minutes.  I mean really nothing.  But he’s a defensive specialist, you say?  Well whoever he defended that game scored double digits, since 7 Warriors finished with at least 11.

I’m ecstatic not unhappy that these players are gone.

Chicago’s Thabo Sefolosha is headed to Oklahoma City for one of the Thunder’s five stockpiled first-round picks in the next two drafts.

This makes sense because after the Hughes deal we needed to move some salary to get under the cap for this season.  I like Thabo but his usefulness to the team was not much, especially with Salmons coming to town.  Trade deadline roundup coming tomorrow.
