    Why bother? Vin Baker is an old scrub. He can't play anymore.

    Eddie Griffin (Mr. I jack off to porn in my car, while drunk) and Gin (yes, I know it says Gin) Baker... what a great combo. Then you factor in Stonehands/No passion (Blount)... what a great big man rotation. Way to set a good example for the young guys!

    Griffin - jack off/drunk/porn while driving; underachiever
    Baker - alcohol problems, and then he signs to a team with Griffin on it
    Blount - plays for nothing but the money
    James - whiney, demands the ball
    Ricky D - demands the ball
    McCants - work ethic has been questioned

    KG, I feel for you man...

    I actually think Daniel Santiago will beat out Vin Baker in training camp. He seems hungry to win a spot in the NBA, foregoing a multi-year contract in Europe and looked decent in the World Championships(for Puerto Rico).
