    JaVale McGee wasn't waived because DEN had too many guaranteed contracts. In fact, DEN pulled a John Nash and gave McGee a ridiculously huge contract extension after half a season of blocking a lot of shots (see Theo Ratliff).

    MEM, who scouted him, drafted him and has seen him play, doesn't think his on court performance is worthy of an NBA roster spot.

    Ok now give me your opinion. Or have you never seen him play? Maybe sit this one out.

    You were the one who drew me into this conversation with your snarky little smart ass comment that specifically mentioned me by name.

    Make your case for how Rade Zagorac will make our bench better. If not, maybe you're the one who should sit this one out.

    Yeah, we know. You've seen him play against some inferior competition. Big deal, MEM saw him against that same competition, in practice and in preseason games against other NBA hopefuls and didn't think he'd make their bench any better.

    So, please tell us why you're right and MEM is wrong. Have at it Skippy.

    Truth hurts?

    I guess when it's a player you like it's ok to preach to everyone why he bounced around from team to team, but when it's someone else's player we just have to accept that the team knows what it's doing. You're a special one.

    And I'll save the "scouting report" for someone that actually has an open mind.

    Your argument here isn't with me, it's with MEM.

    All you have provided is cheap shot at me and an unsupported claim that Rade Zagorac would make our bench better. You've told us nothing about HOW or WHY he'd make our bench better.

    So, go ahead and enlighten us. Tell us why MEM is wrong about thus guy and you are right. We're waiting...

    Is Wade Baldwin another Mo Harkless? Dunno, but as has been mentioned, he's available:

    Ha I was just going to post this. As I recall......... Neil was so stupid for not offering him a contract Houston would not match. Or something like that.
