"Birdman Flies Again"
ESPN Article

If we really want help defending the block, why don't we give this guy a look? He is full of energy, a great, a great guy, and is a great shot blocker. Apparently, in his time off he has developed a nice shot. For everyone who is weary of someone who has admitted to using drugs, look at Sean Williams in New Jersey. If you wouldn't love to have him, you're nuts. I say we try to sign him to a 10 day. Worst case scenario, we are known as the team who tried to help a guy get a second chance. Best case scenario, we have help for Dwight that isn't Foyle.

I wouldn't mind the Magic giving him a tryout of some sorts.

See where it goes from there.

Who do we cut to make room for him?

Kind of depends on how the hypothetical tryout goes. If he can play like he used to then I wouldn't be against dumping Auggie. We could even do a 2 for 1 type trade with another team and then sign him.

How about one of those big guys we have just to rack up DNP-CDs?

take your pick, there are two or three mofos in the roster, that they don't see the light of day playing, The Birdman, is been proven to play effective in the league, besides I thought we only have 14 guys not 15 in the roster. This guy will be better than any of the stiffs we have in the bench, and we hype them so much, lmao!!!!

Absolutely. This is the kind of player we need, not another guard.
