Surely you've noticed that Wilkins, who has 3 steals, 2 blocks and 7 boards in his limited minutes over that stretch, has been playing really good defense off the bench, right?</p> @Frankie:

I don't think he is worth the roster spot but I want to get on that payroll. Curiously asking how much of Daye’s rookie deal is he paying you to go in to bat for him Frankie.
