Omer Asik out for remainder of season and Quincy Pondexter

[DOMINION]

Asik has not recovered from illness and has lost significant weight.

Can we sign someone to take his place?

[Mythrol]

No. we don't even have a full roster as is.

Take Away 1

"Pelicans center Omer Asik has only played 14 minutes in the calendar year because of a bacterial infection."

- That's over half a million dollars a minute - incredible - i complained about wasting money on gordon and injuries, but this is ridiculous

Take Away 2

“Both of those guys will be gearing toward the summer and next year, really,” Gentry said.

I hope Gentry stopped himself before he said "really, just Quincy will be playing next year"

[PeliKhan]

Quincy too, NOOOO.... say it ain't so...

[Tim Floyd]

Any chance we can get a medical retirement on Quincy over the summer?
