You have no idea how angry I am that we could not get anything better for Caron Butler.

Kwame needs to be banished to the Miami Heat.

But despite that, no one will ever surpass Chris Washburn.

I'm beginning to wonder if that really was Kwame in the 05/06 series against the suns. Because for the only time in his career a player wearing the Kwame Brown jersey actually helped his team win not lose.

Kwame Brown > Michael Olowokandi

Kwame Brown will come around and play solid basketball before Andrew comes back.









Hopefully.

Kandi is a better player than Kwame no doubt, but worst #1 pick of all-time is still LaRue Martin

Kwame makes my head hurt. Seriously. He gives me a headache.

He's nothing like Larry Hughes. Kwame simply shouldn't ever pick up a basketball.

Kwame really needs to lose weight. He was very athletic when he came into the league but its like he can't even jump anymore. Could he be losing athletic ability?

i think he has surpassed olowokandi. even until last year Olowokandi was serviceable as a defensive backup center, outplaying kendrick perkins whenever he was given the chance last year. He was also at one point a 12 and 9 80 game starter. he was also never as heinously overpaid like kwame is

Kwame is forever going to milk that 30/19 game vs the Kings a few years back. Honestly... some team is going to give him 3 to 4 million in the hopes that he gets it.

Neither Kwame or Olowakandi was the 1st 1st rnd pick of all time. Honestly was noone going to correct this title.

I want to puke.

The Suns got LUCKY we didn't have Drew. I know they'll bring the Hill excuse, but seriously, Drew has looked like an MVP against them this season.

Kwame is one of the worst players in the league. I can't wait to get rid of him.

God, Kwame for Caron. Most lopsided trade ever. That one hurts. I hate the Lakers but I feel for you guys. lol

But from a Washington fan perspective, that draft ended up working out alright. haha

wow there. dont compare joe smith to kandi man and kwame. Sure the 95 draft had way better players like stackhouse, sheed, and garnett...but joe smiths rookie campaign and sophomore campaign werent bad at all...he did pretty damn good stats wise for a rookie. he just never panned out to be a sheed or kg. joe smith is talented.
