Wagner was on the bubble and his ankle sprain kept him from getting over the hump. Even though it is just preseason, had he maintained his level of play, the option would have been picked up. In a sense, it's a shame but that's the business. Even though the injury was slight, Paxson wanted results and if you have been shakey in the past and get injured in the present, things don't go your way.

Even despite Wagner's option not getting picked up, I could still see him averaging 15-20 minutes per game on this team.

Wagner was tremendously overrated in college and was thusly selected in the wrong round of the 2002 Draft.

I get so upset, I hop out of my Range Rover and run across the fairway to the clubhouse, where I get Carlos to make me one of those martinis he's so famous for, to soothe my primitive caveman brain. But whatever world you're from, I do know one thing: in the 20 years from March 22, 1972, when he first ordered that extra nicotine be put into his product, until February 25, 1992, when he issued an interoffice memorandum stopping the addition of that nicotine, my client was legally insane.

for some reason im still a big believer in wagner, i dont think he was overrated at all coming out of college, what he did in high school and college was prety amazing.
he has the talent, but injuries and opportunity have kept him back.
on a team like a hawks or a bobcats he would really get a chance to get some minutes and develop into a star, not many other teams would be willing to risk giving him big minutes after seeing very little in the nba of him so far.

Bender is 7'0 tall..he's not playing on a wing.

On Wags--I think he was overrated. I agree that what he did in HS and college was great, but come on, hes a 6'2 SG. How many successful 6'2 SG's do you see? I think I could name one, AI. That's all I can think of. Our picks should have been reversed..take Boozer in the 1st and Wags in the 2nd.

The OUTLAW

People believed that Wagner could play the point when he first entered the draft. Unfortunately that turned out to be a mistake. I still think that he has some ability, it just seems that between the injuries, his work ethic and the attempts to move him to point the previous 2 years have been wasted.

If we didn't already have an undersized two or if Wagner was more of a one I would definately do that deal. I don't see any reason for the Cavs, either, because they get really stripped on talent.
