I'm really surprised that the Thunder went for such an inconsistent, disappointing player like Sebastian Telfair. In my opinion they should've gone for Mo Williams or Ramon Sessions. I just think either of them would have been a good 3rd point guard option, like Fisher was. Solid vets that can help the team.

Let me know what you Thunder fans think

Both would want a bigger role than what we'd be willing and have available. Both are too expensive. Bassy is unguaranteed and we're hoping Semaj is carried if RJ isn't starting at sg.

Presti loves reclamation projects. See Nenad Kristic and see Hasheem Thabeet.

Barring any injuries, its a pretty inconsequential signing. He shouldnt ever see meaningful time on the floor.

I think he's one of those guys that should have gone to college instead of leaping straight to the NBA.

He was just too small, not a great athlete, and reckless with the ball. Couldn't really finish and had a weak jumpshot as well.

I'm hoping all that bouncing around the league and going overseas has humbled him. He is definitely an underdog and I hope he plays with a chip on this shoulder next season. At the very least, I hope he can be a team-oriented veteran who can help provide a good presence in the locker room.

College would not have done him any good, he'd still be small, average athletically and not good enough to be a starting pg.

I think he is going to have a really good year. He really has to bring his A game or else it's straight back to china.
