    The Spurs Fabricio Oberto, people were talking about what a great signing he was coming from the Argentinia team but he's done nothing and doesn't play. People were saying he would be the guy to come off the bench for Duncan or Mohammed but he's been a huge dissapointment for them.[​IMG]

    Jerome James. When the Knicks signed him, pople thought he would be a defensive force because he played well in 1 game in the playoffs but all he has done this year is sit on the bench

    Most people laughed when they signed him...much of the media didn't like the signing.

    Still, people thought that he would contribute, defensively and be the Knicks starting Center. Some Knicks fans praised the signing.

    i'll tell that no one in new york liked the signing. i sure wasn't sold on one good playoff series during the final year of his contract. he just wanted more money and he got it. 30 mil for 5 or 6 years. he's a slob. definitely not an overrated signing because no one liked it from the beginning.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (nba dogmatist @ Mar 24 2006, 04:38 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Stromile Swift. i personally thought he would breakout w/ mor PT in Houston, but he's done close to nothing. :no1:</div>yea swift has been a dissappointment since he was drafted. what a joke. how much longer til this guy reaches his potential?

He even got more opportunities with Tmac out, but he's overvalued.

    Brown liked him too and thought that he would improve their defense. The fans thought he would help their team get blocked shots as well and help them on defense but he hasn't done much of anything and sits alot more then he plays.

    Just about everyone who signed with the Cavs, Damon Jones, Larry Hughes, and Donyell Marshall. Please, Antonio Daniels is giving the Wizards more than what Hughes is giving the Cavs. And we also got AD at a much LOWER price.

    This one is not really overrated but it did not work out when Larry Hughes signed with Cleveland. He didnt do much while he played, and now hes most likely done for the season.

    Anyone who signed with the Cavaliers as Zards said. marshall and Jones are shooting mediocre percentages, and Larry Hughes has barely played. LeBron is playing with a team just as bad as last year, and doing a much better job.

    Was Kwame Brown traded or signed?If not he's a huge bust considering he was the first pick of the draft.

    I think he can be a decent player if he matures,might take possibly 3-4 years though.

    Stromile Swift did nothing in Memphis, I don't know why people expected good things out of him.
