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.


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.

You have to remember who the coach is though. Monty didn't seem the least bit comfortable with Pierre as a player. Even if Russ Smith is only 80% the player Pierre is on offense, he's supposedly a hustle defender and a Monty type of player. Willie Green may not be better than Marcus Thornton, but if you're going to be spending money and a roster spot on a guy, Willie Green is the guy you chose if Monty's your coach.

I hope Pierre gets healthy and has a successful career, but I can't believe we've gotten to page 3 arguing over 2nd round talent. Melo and LeBron need to make up their minds quick
