hide the dogs, but the bottom line is this is a 23 year athletic skilled SG/SF who has game. This is like a free draft pick that we get to take a hard look at for 40+games, the same way we looked at Demarr which was a smart move. It could turn out to be nothing, or it could help expedite our young talent pool and that is the most important function at this point. At 23, people deserve second chances for sure, I mean J Kidd beat the living S out of his wife for a long period of time, is dog fighting in that category? NOOOOO We need a guard with allan OLD and OUT and Jamison Brewer isnt the answer. I want a secondary option to crawfish anyway, because he needs discipline in his game--he needs to have a quick hook if he doesnt play the right way.

i don't think you'll get any objections on this one.

people were talking about trading for him and now we can pick him up for free. good bye bruno sundov.

definitely the kind of player Zeke will go hard after. If he pans out I would not mind a 3 guard rotation consisting of steph, craw and woods at all!

I agree Woods is a priority. Too bad Miami also has that priority. We may have to give him the rest of the MLE for the rest of the season.

if he was waived and we claim him and miami clams him we would get him because our record is worse

Are you sure you're not thinking of baseball? I thought once a basketball player was waived, he became a free agent and could sign with whatever team he wanted to sign with.

I thought you wanted the team to lose and get a higher pick? How is signing Q Woods part of that plan?

well Woods isn't exactly Tracy Mcgrady just yet lol he most likely needs to be developed like sweetney and ariza

nope, it applies to NBA...that's how the Heat wound up w/Bruce Bowen the year the Knicks tried to sign him off waivers.

Okay; thanks!

But he has the potential to help the team this year, which goes against the idea of doing everything we can to lose and get a top draft pick

there is nothing good in this year's draft... read my post. '06 is the year

I never disagreed with that. I don't pay attention to college hoops and don't know much about the prospects people are talking about. Briggs is the one who wanted to lose and get a higher draft pick. I'd rather see Crawford, Sweetney, and Ariza get some playoff experience, even if it meant getting around the 18th pick insteaed of the 14th. Also, Isiah's probably not gonna be able to use our expiring contracts to take back more long-term money if he doesn't bring in money by making the playoffs this year.
