Couldn't find his thread, but he's back.

At least we have an adult in the locker room now.

He's one of those guys who you see bouncing all around the league and think they suck and are just some random no-name scrub, then he lights your team up and you get pissed that some sucky random no-name scrub is lighting you up and is gonna be the reason your team loses.

But then he joined us and I really grew to like him since he was actually kinda good and he would have those moments where he would "surprise light up" other teams.

And then I was sort of sad when we traded him away (even though I was really excited to get Montrezl Harrell at the time, hah).

And now I'm happy to hear we signed him back. I'm surprised he hasn't already latched on somewhere, this close to the regular season. I just checked, and he is 35, so his best playing days are probably behind him, but I imagine he's a good person in the locker room and I'm still sure he will randomly light some teams up if given the chance.

I doubt Ish gives us much of anything on the court, but still prefer him on the roster to Sumner - even if it's just to get in the ear of our youngin's and show our bench boyz krewe what it means to support/encourage/care.
