Trent Hassell is cut

Featured Replies

He'll surface elsewhere or be in the NBDL and get some 10 day contracts this season when players get hurt.

 

Although I don't follow the Bulls very closely, I'm surprised by this because from the times I saw him, I thought he was pretty effective. Guess this speaks to the depth of the Bulls roster this season.

Defensively he is tough, his problem is that he provides zero offense. He can't shoot, can't drive, and doesn't pass well.

It can never hurt to have a defensive stopper on the end of the bench though.

 

Hell, Bruce Bowen has made a career out of just playing defense...

 

Never watched him much on offense though, thanks for the info 2K..

Agreed. It's like playing with 4 guys vs. 5 when he was out there last year. Even his defense suffered a lot.

Doubt we will miss Hassel. Pippen and Gill could come off the bench and play better defense.

Hassel will make it somewhere because of his great attitude and work ethic, but I've heard some great things about Johnson.

 

The Bulls had a huge supply of 2/3 players and lacked in the low post. Its obvious that Mason Jr is the better of the two. The only thing I'd wonder is if they thought of just cutting EROB. I think we know Erob has the potential and he's also proved to be a solid defender when he's out there.

The weird thing is that he could shoot and drive his rookie year. He made some great moves and could use both hands in the key. And he was the Bulls only real outside threat during his rookie year.

 

I don't know what happened to him, but that rookie year he was my favorite Bull but last year I just saw myself swearing at the screen with a puzzled look when he missed shot after shot by 3 feet.

Wow, this is suprising. I wish they would have kept Mason.

>With Robinsons salary he could fit into a trade later on. That might be in the back of Paxson's head.

I wish E-Rob would play more. He has a sweet shot.

What is this I'm reading about the Bulls going after Othella Harrington and Crawfords name coming up.

 

That better be a bunch of crap, cause Harrington ain't near that good. Maybe I'd give them Fizer or a role player, but I'd have enough trouble giving them Mason.

 

Erob for a big man with a contract is what i'd like to do. Heck, maybe sucker the Knicks into an EROB for Travis Knight deal. Knights contract is up at the end of the season.

I saw that on ESPN Insider. I think Layden was just seeing if Paxson was stupid. I read somewhere else that Paxson said no way. I wouldnt trade a single Bull for Othella.

There is ZERO way that Jamal Crawford gets dealt now. Take that to the bank. An Erob for Travis Knight deal is a much better salary fit as I understand it

Man would I be pissed if JC gets dealt. All of last year I was hoping he would become the starter (I know I blabbed about it all the time on my short lived radio show) :D

 

Craw is the man, if he does what I think he does, he will be one of the best point guards in the league next year as well as one of the best, most explosive players in the league.

 

JC, you :headbang :headbang

He has so much potential as a point. With Pax being around, he already seems to be passing better in preseason ball. And his scoring ability has never been in doubt. Plus I love Mason pushing him off of the bench.

Is Mason even on the team. Because right now there are 15 people, and I thought you could have 14.

You can have 15, 12 active and 3 on IR. The fight is between Mason and someone else for the last active spot I think.

 

Mason better make it cause he's a very good player, imo.

Who will start it on IR? JWill and who else?

Jwill, Linton Johnson and one other, I'd guess Erob.

A lot of the roster stuff could be determined by if Chandler, Rose, or any of the for real injured guys need a spot on the IR.

Trent Hassell has been signed by the TWolves to fill in for Wally Szeb.

 

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Free agent Trenton Hassell signed Wednesday with the Minnesota Timberwolves and will fill in for the injured Wally Szczerbiak.

 

Hassell, a 6-foot-5, 200-pound guard, averaged 4.2 points and 3.1 rebounds a game last season for the Chicago Bulls, who waived him last week.

 

Szczerbiak, who appeared in one preseason game, has a sore foot. He will be on the injured list for at least five games.

Many in the Wolves organization are getting frustrated with Wally's injury saying that he could be playing with this injury and that it's an injury that won't get better with rest. Hassell may be around here longer than the 10 day contract.

Its not a 10 day contract. They can't give those out until later in the season. He got a one year deal.

My bad. Either way though, I think he'll stick.
