    If he does well enough in SL may as well bring him and Bogans on to the actual roster. I'm also interested in Orton and Moultrie, but with all of the big men and possibly Kanter, we're probably set there.

    I wish we had gotten Robert Upshaw into camp; I hope we didn't just ignore him because of behavior problems. Cliff Robinson fell to the second round for those reasons and continued smoking all through his career but he had a long and very productive career.

    Young guys like Montero are why you sign old guys like Bogans.

    I wish the stigma around smoking pot for athletes would go away; all the biggest known smokers (Kareem, Cliff, Oakley) had long-ass careers. It extends careers!

    Rumor was that he was a cokehead. Not just pot.

    The Spurs sign proven players to smaller contracts. We sign community college players to non guaranteed contracts. Oh, btw. I hate the Spurs.

    Depending on the heart defect, it's not a huge deal (look at Tex, he had two heart surgeries as a Blazer), but yeah, cocaine is a helluva drug.

    I would not expect any before they signed him, since he was a free agent. No reason to create any unnecessary buzz.

    Now that he has signed..........hopefully we will hear some good things. I am guessing it will be more on the "potential" side than the "he is kicking ass in practice".
