Stephane Lasme and Mario West Cut

Well I think the reasoning behind it was so that he would be eligible to play for Maine, but I don’t think there was much point to it.

Compare him to another defensive-oriented small forward, Bruce Bowen. Bowen was a key member of three championship teams. And what did he average? 6.1 points and 2.8 rebounds on an average of 27.6 minutes a game. Dismiss Lasme if you want. But a lot of great teams have come to rely on guys like Bowen.

They were supposed to hold the ball & run the clock, but Wafer wanted to showboat. You could tell that made some Nyet players mad. Then, Wafer is walking off the court & won’t listen to anybody. Rajon is there to high five the guys coming off the court, & Rajon has a strange look on his face as Wafer goes storming by. Wafer has a temper. It’s very hard to coach up guys who have short fuses. Wafer got several T’s in the preseason when you would think he would be on his best behavior trying to make the team. There is a mental aspect there which I think is a time bomb…..
 
Over on Espn Boston, Wafer had some comments…“……But like I said, making the team is not enough, man. I’ve been playing in the NBA for five years, sitting on the bench for four years. You can’t get better sitting on the bench. I want to play”……………That sounds like trouble because seriously guys, how many minutes can he get???
 
Lasme has skills & brains. You can always use a shot blocker who can rebound. He finishes well around the basket. His help D was really good (blocking shots). And I don’t think he is volatile & yelling at the refs for all his troubles. He listens to coaches. There are enough egos on this team without adding a powder keg who has a history of trouble with coaches etc. I love the Cs & I hope everything works out, but I’ve got a bad feeling about Mr. Wafer. Hope I’m wrong

They love the kid and think there’s a good chance he makes his way back to the big club. Sucks for him to be playing on a D-League contract instead of making NBA dough, though.

A good hustle guy for spots 12-15 on a roster, nothing more. A break glass in case of emergency player. But you know you would get great effort fom him. You put Wafer in that same role I am positive you wont get the same effort or result.

We should be able to disagree here without anyone suggesting that supporters of the opposing viewpoint are holding absurd positions.

But then, we’re fans. And for fans, the whole point is to come to your own views based upon what little you’ve seen and what little you know. Otherwise, there’s no point in watching games or discussing any of this.
