I think the funniest part was his conclusion:

Way to go out on a limb, MMMM, predicting that a man who will be 68 this year and has mused publicly about retiring, might not be around for much longer.
 
additionally, he is completely off base on Wes Johnson.  He has been a disappointment, to be sure, but he is definitely not a bust.  Rick Adelman loves his activity and his potential defensively, that's why he starts him every single game.   After suffering through a long slump through the first half of the season, his jumper is more effective now - he is shooting .397 from three over the last 20 games.   It is far too early to close the books on Wes, especially when Adelman is so determined to keep giving him reps.  Once upon a time, Donte Greene was considered a bust as well, but look at him now - he [U]is[/U] going to get a 2nd NBA contract, and that is my definition of a legit NBA player
 
Young players need reps in order to develop.  Donte has gotten enough now that he has turned the corner and become a solid NBA bench player with potential to develop even more.  Wes only played one season with the Orange; his previous two years were an injury-effected soph season at ISU and sitting out a transfer year.  This is just his 2nd year in the pros, on a very young team trying to find its way.  I'm betting he, too, will see a 2nd contract.
