    Shit, if Adam Morrison can't stick with a team...... Luke won't be able to.

    I agree that Smith will be very fortunate to latch on to a team but Luke has a bit more of an upside.

    Babbitt > Morrison

    Babbitt should just go to Europe.

    Good comparison. Morrison can do everything Babbitt can do, plus dribble and shoot better. Both lack athleticism.

    BAD comparison. Apart from being white (and slow of foot) their games are not similar at all. Morrison couldn't rebound AT ALL but was master of the midrange game. Babbitt has no midrange game but is a surprisingly good rebounder.

    Ronnie Brewer is here at Atlantis in Nassau. Was in the elevator with him and his family last night.

    Babbitt's problems are 90 percent mental and the other half is physical.

    Even his agent is avoiding him. That can't be good.

    I always judge a man by the look in his face. Where I come from, Babbitt and Morrison come from the same neck of the woods. Knarled, unhappy-looking critters. The apple seed doesn't fall far from the elm tree. A tip of the hat to you.

    Did we ever get a satisfactory explanation of why we drafted Nolan instead of Faried (or, even better, Mirotic)? Was it Nate's call because of his US team association with Coach K?

    As a player, as a person, or both?

    It was a wink-wink part of a trade...
