The Hawks cut West in training camp last summer and he was playing for the D-League’s Maine Red Claws when he was re-signed. Under NBA rules, after the latest 10-day contract expires the Hawks can retain West only by signing him for the remainder of the season.

Hawks sign Mario West to second 10 day contract

Start your own personal countdown. Mario might be a Hawks until June come ten days from now.

Woody has a love affair with Mario

Have you seen how giddy Woody is when he talks about Mario? It’s almost like Rio is his long lost son or something.

It scared me how Woody will praise people to no end

And randomly put someone else in the doghouse.

I know...

He needs to stop playing him instead of better offensive players. I like Mario’s hustle and heart but hes a liability at this level.

Give Teague more PT! Mario has no future in the NBA

Later.

He hasn’t put up a shot in three of four games. Defensive specialist, he was fouling Tyreke Evans like it was his job. I agree, give those looks to Teague. Let West set sail after these ten days.

Why not us? Why not now?

I’d rather have Mario West than fat, useless-except-to-foul-Shaq Jason Collins. The problem is not having Mario on the roster; it’s that Woody plays him more than Jeff Teague.

2nd 10 day contract? Sounds like we can call this SUPER MARIO 2

super mario 3 is my favorite.

That really was a great game.

And to be honest, I always thought 2 was the worst

Really?

Luigi doing the running man every time he jumps? And seriously, you can play the little Toadstool character, that was pimp! I’d say some of those released on the 64 were pretty bad.

3 was tight though.

I meant between the originals 1, 2, and 3...

out of those 3, I always felt 2 was the worst. When you bring in the who knows how many other versions that have come through since, on 64 and other consoles, I wouldn’t know them as well as I never played them.
