    I think you overestimate Felton's contributions to our recent success...

    Yeah, I agree with you on Brooks -- I'd love to have him back in the PNW.

    Patty should watch himself; China's a crazy-ass litigation state right now. People take you to court over everything, because they're looking for quick cash. And if you don't pay everyone (the cops, the plaintiff, the judge) you go to Political Prisioner prison for years as the bureaucracy slowly grinds forward.

    Random story time: I was in Beijing in 2002, visiting some family friends and doing some sightseeing. I was standing at a bus stop along with a handful of other random commuters, when all of a sudden a car with tinted windows pulls up and two guys in suits get out. They put a hood over the head of one of the guys standing at the bus stop, force him into the car, and drive off. Nobody else bats an eye, and I'm standing there looking around like WTF??

    In summary, I agree.

    My one question would be how his presence might impact Batum's mindset. IIRC, they were best buddies last year. If Nic is (as Quick has suggested) kinda sulky right now due to lack of PT, maybe bringing Patty back might be good for him.

    I don't think these multi-millionare NBA players are as emotionally fragile as you think. I don't think we should make personell decisions just to cater to our 7th man.
