Because now that Iverson is gone, they need another lightning rod for public scorn and ridicule. Think about it. There are several benefits to signing a total asshat. First, it helps people remember that Memphis actually has a team in the NBA. And, it takes all the pressure off their younger players. Anything they do off the court, will seem tame by comparison and surely overlooked. "Excuse me Jamaal, Rudy Gay just got arrested for a DUI, could you please get busted on another illegal weapons charge so the media will focus on your more serious repeat offense instead of his minor transgression? You're a seasoned veteran dealing with the law and the media, he's just a young first time offender. We need you to step up like the veteran leader we knew your were when we signed you. This is why we brought you here" BNM
Or, maybe Chris Wallace is deliberately trying to get fired. If he gets fired, they still have to pay him. If he just up and quits, he walks away with nothing. Maybe this is all part of his master plan to get the hell out of Memphis. BNM
The circus is still in Memphis! Darius cursed that team! http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/62786/20091114/memphis_signs_tinsley/
What problem children haven't they signed? Wallace is a wanna-be Whitsitt. Too bad he forgot about the talent competition. You can't win if you just get 15 Miss South Carolinas. barfo
