Crap, he’s been fun to watch. Top 3 pick here we definitely come...

[High5]

Bah Gawd! That's Miles Plumlee's music!

[Dnice]

Gonna sleep through most of this season.

So Collins gets 32 min/game now ... If he stays out of foul trouble.  Time to ball out.

[AHF]

That stinks for him and the team.  The idea of Plumlee getting some burn is at least a bit interesting.  

[hazer]

3 possible silver linings: starters minutes for J-Bap, Top 3 pick more likely, if Bumlee shows a pulse might could be moved in a trade.

[AHF]

It would take more than a pulse to get someone to take on Plumlee's contract.

[benhillboy]

Sucks on so many levels.  He was having a great contract season, this won’t help his value.  More important than his production was his mentorship of Collins along with Ham.  I’ll always lament not having a trustworthy veteran to help groom Dennis in his early years.  I just gotta get past my fear of Collins getting hurt in major minutes.  So many young frontcourt players have suffered serious setbacks in recent years.

You can always feel better about bad players like Plumlee by looking at their per 36 numbers.  10/11/2 blocks, not bad, eh? (not good)

For us maybe, but Plumlee would probably rather be burning something else.

Plumless is hot garbage but his playing time should help the tank.

Think most of us liked Dedmon coming here and have been quite happy with what he has brought as well as incorporating Bud's favorite shot into his game. That shooting threes part I wasn't expecting but you know how Bud thinks so there it is, Dedmon can shoot from twenty five now. Maybe this time off will somehow help keep him around to help out a rookie big for us next year. As said by someone else I think "possibly a silver lining".
