http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/54573/20080927/nets_sign_gill_hamilton_hodge_and_storey/ Thoughts? I like Hodge, Gil I guess is a decent 3rd PG. Not too sure on the other two
Hamilton was probably the best on ball defender in the D-League...led the league in steals. No offense to speak of. Storey's been here before...twice. He's somewhat similar. Last time he was in the news was in the D-League when he slugged a teammate during practice, essentially ending his NBA career and sending him back to Lithuania. A handy thug in intrasquad games, I guess. Not a big fan.
I agree. Terrible decision. That is Frank's fault. He thinks Storey is a good practice player. I hope L plans on hanging out with that knucklehead 100% of the time he's not at practice.
Storey played for the Bucks last year, seemed to stay out of trouble. I wouldn't worry to much, I doubt he'll be on the roster come November 1st.
I don't see the big deal. Everyone has a right to make a living. It's not like Storey will make any team.
It's a privilege to be a scrub player and go to an NBA camp to try and get noticed. There are hundreds of them who haven't even gotten that chance yet. So why not reward someone who didn't sucker punch and potentially kill his own teammate?
Awvee spent a night in jail in Miami with Gilbert Arenas back in 2006. And I'm sure next time Storey gets in a fight, he'll just throw slaps and then run away, the way 'Melo would.
He wont make the team, but with all the other players out there, you'd think they could find someone other than a very limited journeyman with a reputation of clocking his TEAMMATE. This isnt about being tough. This is about being an a-hole...uncontrollable. Player development going out the window on this one.
