I would almost completely disregard him as a guy who might interest me(for that type of commitment) unless he can really prove it otherwise.

he's not on my radar but a brace means nothing. All it does is add stability after an injury. It doesnt affect you any other way than that

He could kill a weak franchise with his contract.

I don't fully understand his condition and statistical probability of his knee being a problem.

I would think a prexisting condition like that would prohibit insurance on his contract for that and since we are running naked on Amare's contract (pun intended) having two of them is a lot to carry.

He is a potential liability but even more so for the HOrnets. He is the face of the franchise.

I don't know, does his condition just take time or has he lost his quickness for good?

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

not bad numbers imo especially someone wearing a "knee brace" all year.

My only concern about Paul is the chance of reinjury. That's a medical thing that I don't have a grip on. Other than that, he came in second in mvp voting not to long ago - and many people think he deserved to win that vote. If he's available in the near future, we have to consider that seriously. If he is healthy, he'd be the best player on this team - including Amare. There aren't many opportunities to get a player of this caliber. It's true that his knee is a serious concern. If the doctors sign off on it, we should try to get him should he becomes available.

I saw the game. He was literally knocking Jennings out of the way. Paul has that Felton frame.

Paul didnt look much better than Jennings to me though. Jennings dropped 15 and 10.

Jennings team lost, so who cares what he dropped? Jennings also picked up right where he left off shooting 37% last year.
