I'd trade him for a second round pick to a west coast team (if they'd take him)...he is useless.

Can't do spit but shoot and ain't very good at that - sorry JB.

to be fair, i was really happy when we drafted salim. i thought he would fit a really good role here. billy chose to overlook/ignore his college attitude problems, and that's something i might have done, too. it was a gamble, but it's not paying off. i can't remember him helping us win one game last year. his best game when he scored 30 was a loss. it seemed all downhill from there.

i think your being alittle hard on Salim, if your saying that guy cant shoot, just because he had two bad games in a row.

He is just in a slump.Yes, he is very poor at playing pg,

but do we even need him to play point??

We have...

1:Speedy

2:Lue

3:JJ

4:Ivy

We already have 4 guys who can play pg..we need to just let

Him do what he does best, instead trying to force him to be something he's not.

It not like he will get alot of playing time anyway, since he is playing behind jj, chill, lue and speedy.

well i think the writing is on the wall for salim. this pre-season woody is playing salim exclusively at point. woody knows his future isn't as a 2 (on this team). i think woody is giving salim every chance to fail, and he's doing just that - failing.

Where's the Greek kid? Hurt?

Everyone on the team shot near 50% except....

Actually i'm pretty sure I know more about basketball than you. I did play so I know what it takes to take care of the ball correctly something Salim does'nt know how to do. He would fit good with another team but not the Hawks
