Yes....Everybody has character issues. It's only a problem when you don't mature from those issues. If he's smart, he will take advantage of this second opportunity, to change those issues.

"The final nail in Rice’s stay here, however, was determined to be attitude, people with knowledge of the situation said. Coming into the league, the Wizards knew that was a red flag but thought he could work through it. He turned off several teams during the pre-draft process and that manifested itself in a blowup with coach Randy Wittman in a 19-point loss to the Toronto Raptors on Nov. 7. Rice was pulled from the game and went at Wittman in front of the bench. Rice never played again and was gone two weeks later."
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

some kids take a while to grow up- some never do.
I'm not ready to lump anyone into the latter until they prove it.
I agree. He has a lot of talent. If he clears waivers it seems like he is worth a shot as a ten day is no risk to the team. I hope the Knicks don't revisit guys like Shannon Brown who was waived by the Heat. It seems like the focus is on young guys. Rice played great in the summer league this past year. Also, draftnet mentioned that Rice was a point forward at Georgia Tech and he has a huge wingspan.
