thats what wizard players thought too... before they traded away butler/jamison, those guys tried to get through to the kid. didnt happen. this was years ago and little has changed. sometimes what you see is what you get.
arent we as fans of this team tired of trying to turn other teams garbage into gold? if/maybe/might... if only eddy coulda ... maybe marbury will get it now... player X might finally try hard on def, not be out of shape, etc...
Good pt...but at the mini vet hes a low risk gamble...and we wouldnt b relying on him..if he sux u cut him

why bother though. this is a team that hasnt played together at all and they need to get a good start. seems like having around potential problems will add to the pressure that must be quite high already.
erhaps...but what other options are out there?

i do not know what the FO is looking for to complete the roster.
as a fan though, im tired of excuses, so the last thing i want to see is coaches/players having any extra crud to deal with. adding in players who have repeatedly shown they dont care/poor habits/stat whores/etc seems like a bad idea. if this was 3 years ago, maybe, cuz then it was more reasonable to fit in some stuff you may have hoped could turn into solid players.
maybe they bring in a guy like this and use him as an example to keep the other guys in line and maybe he gets himself in order finally...
yeah..i can go either way...its not a big deal...this is for the 15th roster spot...if i had to choose between kmart, birdman (pedophile?), or blatche...id rather have blatche
