He may very well have. Those acting like he wouldn't have are every bit as fallacious as anyone saying he would. I'd say it's more likely he would than wouldn't. How did it happen? Was there an underlying issue? He may very well have had an existing condition that predisposed him to the injury.

Either way, he is now hurt. He is still an undersized chucker that didn't fit our style. We replaced him with a comparable player that seems a better fit.

Win-win.

In all honesty, I would rather Pierre myself. I liked him a little more coming out of college talent wise. He seemed to have the capability of being a good scorer off the bench. Russ could be okay though, he is more of an effort player and you cant really judge those until you see them in action.

Yep. Everyone wants to go for offense. The offense, flawed as it may be, ain't the problem. Finishing 13th in ORating w/ all the injuries to key guys is not a bad achievement at all. Plenty of things I would like to see improved, but you can win with an offense that good.
