The Fan just reported that Cleaves just got his walking papers from Sea-Tac. Homecoming in order?

Big Sparty that I am I hate to see the green turn brown...Mateen ain't coming back here...no how...no way.

Too bad. Mateen played well in the pre-season but lately he's been a consistent healthy scratch.

Apparently he was not on a guaranteed deal anyway.

Guaranteeing that contract wouldn't have given them a tradeable commodity. It was wise to clear the roster spot.

Oh well, at least he lasted longer in the NBA than Rodney White...

Lucic cut his hand in a fight with Michael Komisarek. "I'll be fine," he said. "(X-rays are) negative, but there's so many broken bones in there from before you can't really tell."
