The Truth!!

Don't underrate this signing, PP can still play and he's an underrated defender.

I'll take it. Nice recovery by EG.

Hopefully, by year 2, Porter can take over for Pierce, and Pierce can be a 6th man. But it's the right length and the right money. And Pierce can take Porter and Rice to *school* every day in practice to boot.

Great signing in my opinion. Pierce can still play. Will be a nice stop gap for otto to learn and be will still get a lot of minutes. Well letting ariza go doesn't seem so bad anymore. Ernie what happened to you????????

I am stunned - never even a hint. It would also seem to mean that the Wiz HAVE to bring back Booker.

Stats show he still produced last season, I think he can still give us 20 minutes a night. Biggest benefit is that he can handle some playmaking. Still, wtf, did not think we'd get him...Offense might be better overall due to playmaking, defensively tho...LOL.

Wow! Great, great move. Tremendous competitor and brings championship experience. And 2 years @ MLE. Also, Porter should get plenty of playing time since we're not going to run PP into the ground at 35 mins/game (what Ariza played last year).

Just when I was about to go to sleep... didn't see that coming AT ALL.

Took a deep sigh of relief when I saw it was 2 years and at the MLE. I'll sleep well.

Ok, he's on the downside, but adds to the AARP gang. Tough minded. He'll look good next to both Nene, Miller & Gooden as well as helping exemplify professionalism for the youngsters.

He can still play 25-28 minutes and be effective.

And he can play stretch PF.

The Truth isn't a bad signing.

He's a nice stop gap, add one more to the aarp group. I wonder if they will use him at PF some like the Nets did, that helped turn their season around.

Now give Booker a similar offer and bring back Gooden.
