Rumour: DeVries to be cut, injured?

hasnt this thread spun out of control, pardon the pun. as previously said, only a thread on hoops could go from a discussion about devries, to sacking brad hill, to then bashing paul about his prediction in 2009/10 about how cortez would do, to who gets paid by who which is why they say what they say.

I love Hoops!

Isaac - what's this using my name in vain!!!

And I'm learning to be a cage fighter, so we've got it ALL covered.

You spent 40 minutes searching for Paul's comments?

Check outside your window Paul.

Now under your bed....

...and in the backseat of your car.

Ever vigilant.

Its no longer rumoured its confirmed. in todays tiser its stating that Devries is on thin ice. its particularly in relation to his last 4 games where his rebounds assists and points have declined from his opening games. he is now on a different training regime as he has a hip/core injury. Clarke said they intend on getting him back to 100% and hope that his game form comes back with it too

I wonder if Winder hoisted his own petard.

That is , I wonder if Winder played reasonable and DeVries struggling with injury, would they have moved on Devries , Saturday.

E, im assuming they plan on giving him a bit of a fighting chance though yeh? as others have said id want to see him with shannon first if he is good to play

Wow, looks like somebody has been waiting to catch you off your game there paul!

' Devries connected on a couple of trademark triples
which could give him a stay of execution.. Perhaps. '
(From Botis last game report)

in Marty's interview after tha game friday night he did metion DeVries playing with an injury...

Fellow Import Troy DeVries, whose form also has fallen away since a positive start, is carrying hip and hamstring-like injuries - (From Nagys Winder article on Monday.)
' A professional athlete is hardly ever going to be 100%' Clarke said (in that article).

Top scorer and runner up POTW on debut, but playing like an injured man, now.

Jack it depends on the severity of the injury. if he is injured enough to be out for half the season then it would be worth replacing. if its a matter of 2 or 3 games then id stick it out. i think the sixers will keep him and see how the partnership of him and shannon go.

Hope that they aren't going to cut him. He's worth the money IMO.

Seems unfair to cut if he is injured

I agree with you No Deal, i think what he has brought has been really good and it would be worth keeping him but not at the expense of not playing for a while. hope he recovers and comes good. it would be great to see him on the court with shannon it could be something special.

I hope not, I like what he brings, but I guess if he is injured and not likely to recover to an acceptable level within the next month or so then they should look elsewhere.

I have heard about his injury and that it has been negatively effecting his performance but this is the first ive heard of him being cut.
