You probably do, you are just unaware of it.

I'm not sure we can call Dante a misogynist yet, but that's your call I guess.

So... should we bring him back? I'm on the fence, because he did seem to be a source of malcontent (along with Barea). On the other hand, he knows the team and PF will be a bit thin, depending on who we end up with out of Bennett / Young / LRMAM.

How much would he sign for? 2 year / $4m / TO after 1st year?

I would sign him as the 3rd big. I'm higher on him than most here, just hope JJ is off the team so they stop playing that 2 man game off the bench

If we can sign him for the minimum, its a no-brainer. I think the problem with the second unit was JJ more than Dante.

More of a spot up shooter at PF than a rebounder or post player, so not ideal but I like his fit better than LRMAM as a big off the bench.

I hope a lot of Wolves fans feel bad for judging him before the facts were out.

I for one gave him the benefit of the doubt, because I have heard he is a pretty model citizen overall.

Also the fact that I believe everyone is innocent until proven guilty, which is never the case in the court of public opinion.

domestic violance is almost never convicted because the victim often refuses to testify due to of pressure and self-blame. That's why when stories like "fell down the stairs etc" come up. I still don't want Dante on the team.

She knew she was 1 phone call away from destroying his rep, its a perfect way to screw someones life over. Some b*tches be crazy in murica, especially athletes wives. I mean Dante works on classic cars for fun, he doesnt seem "thuggish". That being said, I dont see a roster spot for him. Would rather seen what Glenn or Bennett could do at this point.

The police drama is now behind.
I would rather have him than Hummel on the team, even more i would prefer him as the backup PF instead of Bennett.
This Hummel signing is so bizarre.

Well there are typically more women that would fit into the gold digger category than women because the majority of the wealthy and very wealthy tend to be men

I think the only way Dante is on this team is if we only get one of Bennett / Young. If we have both, there will be no room for Dante.

Rubio/Mo/Lavine
Martin/Brewer/GR3
Wiggins/Bud/Hummel
Young/Dante/Bennett
Pek/Dieng/Turiaf

The interesting part is the rotations. GR3 to D-league, Hummel + Turiaf inactive if no injuries, Lavine + Bennett more mins as season progresses.

I've heard people say Hummel would be used as more of a stretch-4, putting him as third-string PF. That's why I think its only two of Bennett / Young / Cunningham on this team.

Rubio / Mo
Martin / LaVine / Budinger
Wiggins / Brewer / Robinson (or Muhammad)
Cunningham / Bennett / Hummel
Pekovic / Dieng / Turiaf

Yeah, if we get Young as expected, then I see no role for Dante here.

Its true though..ever hear of Anna Benson? Her ex-husband, former Mets player got released because of his WIFE. Howard Stern asked what would she do if he ever cheated on him and she said sleep with the whole Mets team. Then he came home one day to find her weilding a fun and bulletproof vest so he hid in the basement and then ran outside to the neighbors house while calling 9-1-1. The fact is, more people want to believe the woman, so they take advantage of that.

Well Anna Benson was a stripper/model so dude should have known better than to marry in the Danger Zone.
