DubTown Daily: T-Hud's career ending injury

"I think Troy's probably done," coach Don Nelson said after Wednesday's shootaround. "I don't think he'll play again. I'm serious. It's unfortunate, but he has a hip problem, and I haven't heard a second opinion, but it doesn't look good for him.

Does T-Hud really have a life-ending injury? or is this just Don Nelson's way of saying he's just not working out? Either way, as a Dub fan... we can look at this both ways. It's really unfortunate to see anyone have a career ending injury and forced into retirement.

We've all been watching the Dubs this season and constantly saying "WTF" when Thud is running the point. And we'd say "WTF" again when he takes his ill-advised shot selections. Then "WTF" once more when he looks totally lost out there on the floor. Though it may be a tough time for Thud... for Dub fans we might have a chance to pick up another PG!

Unless the Dubs are already looking at mid-season trade deals, I say we should pick up 5'5 Earl Boykins. Some might argue that he's just like Thud where he's a shoot first PG, but Boykins can damn well shoot the ball better than Thud ever could. Our ideal backup PG is to give Baron a decent amount of rest, and I'd say Boykins is our man. He's still a free-agent floating around somewhere, and you know he's itching to be signed anywhere. We could do what the Dubs do best! Pick up a struggling player for the league minimum and make him a star! And we can't forget he used to be a DUB!

Last season when Melo was out for his suspension, Boykins literally tore it up averaging 20+ points a game. I can see Boykins coming off the bench with high Dub intensity along with some added firepower. Boykins is our MAN!

Boykins: "I am the essence of SMALL BALL"
