    If Nate was a stand up guy why has he gone months with no interest from any teams in signing him? The Heat had the worst PG rotation in the league before 2 days ago but never any interest. The guy has obvious talent and skill on the court that would seem useful to multiple playoff teams. I believe teams are very weary of his previous attitude problems.

    Still haven't answered my question. What makes him a thug?

    A better guess would be his injury he had last year. He didn't look the same earlier this year with the nuggets.

    Also, Thibodeau wanted him on the bulls. This after he worked with him while he was with the celtics. If you can impress Thibodeau, you're good in my book

    Kirilenko's been waived, he got anything left?

    Probably not. Although he did have a big year in Minny a couple seasons ago, posted 12/6/3 on .507/.292/.752

    Jabari young says Portland's not interested in Kirilenko.

    I still think we should bring in Kenyon on a 10 day

    Heres a pretty good article about his antics.

    He is a polarizing figure. Sometimes he can be fun and exciting but he can also annoy teammates, coaches, and rub them the wrong way. He doesn't know when to stop and shut up. For the 15th roster spot the team doesn't need a player they have to babysit.

    OK, OK , I've got a cold and I'm bored, possibly too much medication, but how about this guy?
    I'm thinking the sweat and B.O. factor could make him dominant.
    He's a Reno Bighorn D-Leaguer.

    Nate has always intrigued me, but the fact that he's cast away so often says something. I respect Blake and what he brings, but we need to upgrade that position soon. He can't really penetrate and his 3pt shot has been sub par. He should really be 3rd string insurance at this point in his career.

    There will be zero minutes for the 15th roster spot and little cash to pay a vet...get a project rookie or give Sly a towel

    The organization could save some bucks by making the DNP guy in a suit be Blaze every game.

    Just because we have an open spot doesn't mean the player will be the 15th man.

    Lot of good available players.

    I see Earl Watson, Eric Maynor and Greg Oden on the list. I still want our current roster to suit up and would save the 15 spot for a project guy
