This is it for AllMine. He needs to step it up mentally. Remember, he played for Sloan, a tough coach but a fair coach. You play hard Sloan will get anything you have to offer and make it better. Think of how many garbage players excelled under Sloan. If you have the right attitude and motor and just a fringe NBA skill set - Sloan WILL make you serviceable or even very valuable. The fact that Almond rode the pine and fell out of favor and was pretty much cut from the team speaks volumes. Sloan is no Larry Clown. If you have something to offer Sloan will make use of it if you have the right attitude. Apparently...Almond did not.

As long as we have a roster spot I'd take a chance on him if he continues to look sharp the next four games. He certainly is NOT another Robersuck.

They're talking about taking a loan out to pay Millsap and dumping Boozer to retain the cheaper player... I think he got let go so the team could save money. He's got some obvious flaws but has one obvious strength too

Morris Almond on "D" - 2 nice blocks helping out his teammates.



His nickname - the "New Kid on the Block."

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Almond probably just had a tough break coming to a team that has a specific style that doesn't match his style of play. Sloan is a tough S.O.B. and I disagree that he's fair. He's as much of a nut job as Larry only he's not a soundbite guy. He saves his best quotes for his players in the lockerroom and it ain't pretty.

Really Almond was a victim of the salary cap and time ran out. 2 years isn't a long look. I think he's gonna fit in here and do fine.
