I remember that Lindsay Hunter was suspended from the Pistons for 10 games for taking the same stuff.
If it's just a diet thing, why does the league slap a 10-game suspension on these guys?

^ A banned substance is a bad substance, I guess. But I think if it's used as a means to get healthy and get back to playing weight, it shouldn't be so taboo. Didn't Pat Riley suspend James Posey and Antoine Walker because they were too "fat?" Damned if you do, damned if you don't right?

Looks like the Grizz have signed him, check out the wiretap. Portland is going to be pissed
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

^They're only gonna be pissed if he plays in more than 10 games. :D But I'm not gonna lie, part of me is a little sad that we didn't nab him.

He still has to sit out for 10 games. That's why I said to sign him 10 games before you need him

Too bad, that would've been funny if we signed him. I'm just curious why all of sudden people were interested in him. He was waived before the season started, how come no one else wanted him then? The Grizz are quietly assembling a nice squad.

Thanks for the info on his suspension. He signed for very little, too bad we didn't get him.

I'm not necessarily expecting much, but would love to see him re-capture just a spark of when he was a Clipper.
