Playa, you must not know the history of Kwame. did you know that Patrick Ewing and Oakley were brought in specifically to cultivate he and Haywood?? Haywood digressed upon the arrival of Stackhous, but look at his stats his first year in the league. Jordan did an excellent job with those kids, Stackhouse failed them. Kwame was dumb enough to follow Stack's footsteps and he is now paying for it. Let me be the first to say this, Kwame will never, ever, reach his potential in this league. that boy doesn't have the eyes of the tiger.

How can you compare Jermaine Oneal to Kwame???? Jermaine showed flashes of a guy with a lot of skills and basketball IQ when he was with Portland. I remember in the playoffs versus the Lakers, he did a decent job guarding Shaq as a tweener. Kwame has a big mouth, but doesn't have what it takes to be the type of player that we have to pay $70 to 80 million to. Jermaine had to prove himself before he received that big pay check from Indy. I know that you are a clever guy, why would you want to pay Kwame more than the MLE right now??? what has he done in this league to deserve more than that? Please don't tell me that he 7' tall, because Nazr has been putting up good numbers for us and is collecting less than the MLE.
#1 Look at the big man teachers J.O'neal had in Portland, R.Wallace, That Lituania dude 7'3 + Brian Grant etc.. ALL VETS WHO PLAYED HIS POSITION.
In washington what Vet did he have to learn the game from who was also playing with him ?
