One more time. ++

THe guy had an UNDIAGNOSED HEART VALVE PROBLEM AND HAD A MAJOR SURGERY TO REPAIR IT. HE WILL RECOVER 100%! THIS CONDITION LEADS TO BOUTS OF FATIGUE. IF YOUR AN ALLSTAR PLAYER WITH THIS CONDITION AND THE WORLD IS COMING DOWN ON YOU FOR "LAZY" OUTPUT ON THE COURT, THAT ALCOHOLISM GENE SWITCH GETS TURNED ON AND ITS A BAD SPIRAL FOR HIM. VERY BAD. THIS GUY HAS BEEN THRU HELL, AND A HIGHLY PUBLIC CELTIC LAWSUIT TO KILL HIS CONTRACT. THIS IS A GOOD GUY, NOT SOME CRASS IDIOT. HE IS WORTH ROOTING FOR.

IF THE SURGERY IS THE CULPRIT TO HIS FATIGUE,AND HE HAS KICKED THE BOTTLE, THIS GUY CAN BE A MONSTER AGAIN.

AT 3 MILLION, THIS COULD BE A BARGAIN. MUCH LESS RISK THAN PAYING 68MILLION TO DAMP! DAMP HAS A REP FOR BEING LAZY AND ONLY MOTIVATED BY MONEY. OUTSIDE OF VIN'S BOOZE AND FATIGUE, HE IS AN ALLSTAR WITH SKILLS. DAMP HAS NEVER ACHIEVED THIS!

FOR ONCE, LETS ROOT FOR THIS BEATEN DOWN FORMER ALLSTAR TO COME HOME, PLAY FOR THE ONLY TEAM HE CARES ABOUT, AND SPUR HIM ON TO THE COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR INSTEAD OF WHINING ABOUT DEJAUN WAGNER AND DREW "THE PARTY ANIMAL WHO UNDERACIEVES" GOODEN.

Post it ten times. I still diagree. Get over yourself.

Nalod, post it 10 times and I still do agree; don't get over yourself

I like the signing of Baker. He has a nice post game, no matter how long he can stay in.

I think 3 mil is way to much. The dude is gettin paid on a max deal from the celtics. Why is he so damn greedy? I feel bad for all his problems and all, but cmon, he could be playin for free with all the money he is gettin paid from Boston.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

Bandwidth is too valuable to post anything more than once.

interesting... I hadnt heard that about Vin. Can someone post a link so I can read more? If thats true than Vin would be a nice stop gap 2 year player while we work on prospects.

I would love to pull off a couple 2 for 1 for 4 for 3 type deals to clear space for Ariza, DJ, Ales, etc. Even MArbury's little bro who supposedly a terror on D. The little PG, Barrett... have a core of 8-9 guys and 5 other guys making minimum just playing their hearts out to stay in the league and take minutes from the Penny's and Thomas's of the roster.
