I think we should go after him, hopefully hes not retiring

I think Otis was heard saying that he wasn't sure about this move - he doesn't want it to affect playing time for Arroyo, Garrity or JJ.

And, the Vet minimum - that might not be a good idea - could cut into our flexibility to maneveur

He's capable of being a 10/10 type of player again I think.


But what if another big gets waived that is better - we take Magliore and we fill the 16th roster spot - we may have to waive Garrity .... what if Dwight, Foyle, Auggie, Lewis, Hedo and Gortat get hurt - we'll need Garrity - I'm a little afraid of the idea of having to waive Garrity.

I know a Marshmellow would be a better option than Garrity, but seriously all those guys could get hurt.

He is dead. His brother killed him and his wife and threw them overboard. The fight was over money. When the brother cam back to shore he tried to blame their disappearance on pirates, but he was later found out.


No question that Bison is dead, and no question that his brother killed him, but he never admitted anything. His suicide pretty much answered that question. Unfortunatey Bison turned into shark food.
You look confused...let me fill you in.

Dwight Howard on his FT struggles:

Remember last three years (seemed like an annual occurance) when people were pissed that we didn't make a serious run at Magloire?

I think he'd be a decent addition, but the guy is just so damn lazy.

We are the right team and we have the right coach in SVG for Magilore. IF he came here he would be part of a winning enviroment and prob be set to 20 minutes a night. The sun would do him good and I do think Howard would have a positive effect on him. I do not think he is that far gone that we could not get he 10/5 we would need out of him. OTIS JUST DO IT~

I don't know, but New Jersey was desperate for a big, and they wouldn't play him. Got to be something going on there with him. You know, he has had some knee surgery since making the All-Star team. Some guys just can't deal with the pain after that and are never the same. Maybe that's the case with him.

I hate Dale. He was basically Detroits enforcer though.. I remember him pushing Dwight and Dwight almost fought him a couple times last playoffs.. if only Foyle can do that but he's too nice :(
