What about Anderson and Banks?

[Blasterfi9]

Correct me if im wrong but i don't think NOH has played the two of em at all, and i dont think iv seen them in the boxscores for the NOH games. Did something happen there or are these dudes rotting on the bench, and boxscores just nvr got around to updating them. Banks isn't too shocking that they havent used, but i thought they would atleast toss out Anderson for bit and see wat he's got, but yah again if im wrong plz correct me.

Andersen has visa problems but will play Friday. Banks was advised by agents not to show up, so he won't.

Bang on. Read that article this morning too.

I know some of you are hung up on links.. so...

Problems with his travel visa will prevent newly acquired center/forward David Andersen from joining the New Orleans Hornets until Friday night's game in Portland, the team said Wednesday night, while Marcus Banks, also obtained in Saturday's trade with Toronto, will not be a part of the team at all.

Andersen has visa problem?

I thought they let illegal aliens into America.

On second thought that is only if you are walking in or hiding in the back of a truck.

On the other hand if you fly...............

I wasn't going to touch it. I just said the loud part, quiet.

More likely he is just smoking the rest of his Canadian weed before heading over.

wow, that explains alot, thanx. Although i do feel kinda bad for Banks, dude is a professional stays in shape and ready to play whenever, sux to see him being told not to come in at all, though it is understandable why NOH doesnt need him but still, dude tries hard even if he doesnt amount to a avg NBA player

[RaptorDan]

Ouch! They told Banks to not even show-up? Wow. Does this mean he is on waivers and another team can pick him up? Or literally he will just rot at home, not allowed to play. Can he at least go to Europe? Shouldn't they buy him out? For a player, this has got to hurt.

I'm sure Banks has got plenty in he bank. Maybe this is retirement?

Nope, he's still getting paid. He's probably just going sit back and chill until he's traded.

[RaptorDan]

Yeah, I understood that he is still getting paid. But lets say you're John Holmes and you're under contract with Vivid. Vivid tells you that you're not needed anymore since they got a stud in Rocco Silfredi and since you're still under contract you can't star in any other porn movies. They give John a bottle of lube and send him on his way home, letting his talents go to waste. Sure John can go to bars and bone women in the privacy of his own home, but these women aren't skilled like the pros he used to working with and he likes the excitement of performing for the whole world to see and its hard for him to get wood. The moral: there's nothing better than hardwood and fans for boners to bone and ballers to ball.

Any chance banks will get waived and come back to the raps?
seems like he really liked it here, he could be a third stringer for chump change.

Actually, I think that would probably be a good idea. Having a third PG is a nice idea in case of injuries. And he knows the system and players. Pick him of for the pro-rated minimum.

All I have to say is....who cares?
