    Honestly, no team picking him up last year, all summer, or so far this season has to have humbled him a little bit right? He hasn't forgotten how to score and we literally don't have a single healthy proven post scorer.

    His humility wasn't the problem. He had actually accepted a bench role in Houston. James Harden just didn't like him and asked to get him off the team the same way he did CP in the summer.

    Neil Olshey might as well ask DWade to join his friend and sign with the Blazers as well

    You know this kind of makes me think? Whiteside, Melo, Hood, CJ, Dame. That team can fucking score the ball. Then you throw in Simons and Baze with Little when needed and they might win enough games to stay in the mix?

    I know, I'm saying that it's setting up perfect for a redemption story because of the narrative not the truth.

    I am surprised we did not also get Colin Kapernick.

    The more i think about it the more i want this to work. It has got to improve the team if only just on offense.

    There's no upside. The downside is, we should instead be playing any young guys in the off chance one turns out to be decent. Tolliver , Melo, Spazonja, are known quantities. They suck.

    If I thought Stotts would commit to playing Skal and Little, I would agree with you. The obvious problem is that Stotts tends to use vets as a security blanket, so the real choice is Melo v Tolliver/Mario.

    You'd rather play Tolliver and Mario 25-30 mpg like they are now? Cuz you know Little aint getting those minutes.
