    Juan On Five had absolutely no redeeming qualities as a basketball player.

    I hope you forgot the green text.

    In so many games, we have no one who can score, and it's then I dream of how The Mahn used to win us games. He could have gotten us some points tonight against the Pacers. I never use green font because I'm dead serious. My middle name is Ernesto and I'm quick. I shoot you first, then I decide whether to shoot. I always decide I was right.

    His contract wasn't renewed because we expect Camby back within the next two weeks. If we would have re-signed Johnson, we would have had to wait the two full weeks before Camby could return.

    Why 2 weeks, not 10 days? It seems that even 14 days would have fit into the 2 constraints of when Camby will return, and when the All-Star Game will be.

    He is pleasingly active, but this thin-as-a-reed pushover doesn't deserve the cult he gained in his 2 Blazer games.

    I guess I just don't understand the intrigue with Johnson. He's a 200lb. PF/C.

    Now he just got waived by the Celtics.
    Now the real question is, should we stick with Collins or go after Johnson?

    My guess is Nate is much more comfortable with Collins' experience.

    Why not both? There is a vacant roster spot.

    Yeah, there's no point wasting a roster spot on a PG who isn't better than the two bench guys we've got. Might as well try out a project PF, or a reasonable facsimile thereof.

    I just don't think that jason collins is so good at what he does (apparently rebounding and setting picks) that he can make any significant difference in our season, so i would go with a guy who still has some potential (Johnson); we do not have any young consistently healthy bigs on our roster and we somehow need to develop one.

    Nice lob pass in the fourth for him and a dunk. He even got fouled. That was sweet.

    For a rookie, this game it showed a little what he could do even though hes unpolished. Still that was awesome and the crowd loved it.

    He may be a rookie but he is almost 26.

    The guy is a 200 pound stick at nearly 26. I'm sure his agent told him long ago that his path to multimillion dollar contracts is to add at least 15 pounds of muscle. For whatever reason, he just hasn't done it. I'm skeptical it'll ever happen.

    Too bad, though. His talent is obvious.

    I've seen things saying he has tried to put on weight and it just hasn't worked. Maybe his body just won't do it no matter what.

    as someone who comes from a family that doesn't put on weight early, I think it will change in the next couple of years. But it might not be the right kind of weight ;]
