I think the ladies might be looking for more than 60 seconds. .

Personally, I think that you can't count the first two years as part of the time when he should have realized that he had to fight off other players for PT. There was no way he was going to earn it. And this year, he was doing good work in Europe and in the pre-season, but it did not earn him a damned thing. I can see that he has regressed probably thinking that the team management feels the same way as you and quite a few of the posters feel, that he is a bust already.

And I think we need to have someone else ready ahead of Dale Davis. He is not an impact player any more, even if he used to be. Given that Dyce gets his act together, we have him for the late season as a big, but we need to get a decision as to whether Darko or JMax is going to be brought along for the latter part of the season, and if you would rather have a 6'5" center backing up a 6'7" center for the championship run, be my guest. I think we need to find out if DMC can fill the bill and if he cannot, get someone who can.

We should know by All Star Break, if we get out ass in gear now, and we will have a great chance that whatever is bothering Ben will be cleared up.

I am not naive about DMC; I just have more faith in his ability, but whichever of us is right, we need to find out by mid-season and set about correcting the situation.

I do not believe that we should keep him around for the future if he cannot contribute at least a constant ten minutes a game starting pretty damned soon. Going up against Miami, Indy and San Antonio with a couple of small forwards to play center will not do it, even if one of them is Ben. He just can do only so much when he is so overmatched, like with the Deisel and Zo.

I am sure you have arguments for all these points but that is how I feel about it. I don't want to wait for DMC to hit his mid-twenties to begin to get it together. He needs to get started or get traded.
