i think Diop chose Dallas because he saw how much fun it can be to have Dirk Nowitzki scream in your face on national tv when you make a mistake.

I dont get it - people on this board would like to have an entire front court full of "projects" - how many of those actually pan out? And then on top of that to have basically an entire frontcourt full of them...you build a team with solid skilled players at their positions - you can gamble here and there but to fill your roster with ? marks is a mistake.

Now I will post my prediction and you can hold me to it - Diop will continue to suck. Good for him if he blossoms in the Dallas system but I dont see it happening. What has he shown so far to make people so high on him?

some will say just having size & height will entitle you to expectations & a multimillion dollar contract...it's flawed logic like this that results in the Travis Knight type contracts that Knick fans end up crying about after the fact...you have to learn from past mistakes so that you don't repeat them...maybe some posters around here will get that some day.

& yes, i am aware that we're talking about LLE dollars here, but when you haven't proven a thing in the NBA & have been a huge bust for all the years you've been in the league, you don't deserve even that much in my eyes...i wouldn't have given him anything more than half of what he signed for personally.
