I absolutely disagree. If I was his owner I would be seriously ticked off after he literally stole MILLIONS of dollars from me. After May signed that contract he had an obligation to play to the best of his abilities and BE IN SHAPE. That's it. Those were the only 2 things he needed to focus on. He failed at both...miserably.

Now it might be somewhat different if May was a #1 pick and we had a lot invested in him, or if he was a veteran with at least some credibility AND a productive resume, but May had none of that. So now you want Bob Johnson to forget that and reach into his pocket and pay this chump another 1.5 million? Are you serious?!? Rewarding irresponsible behavior, you consider that a "good move?"

May was a beast in college; IDK what you're talking about Battery. As for his NBA career, he was damn good in 06-07.
Humble yourself.

So you'd rather get someone who did that to another team? We're looking for someone that can help take up a roster spot until we can earn our next lottery pick next summer. If you're getting bent out of shape about people stealing money from the team then let me introduce you to half our roster.

Which stat from the 2006-07 season, praytell, renders May "damn good"?

His 35 games played?

His 838 minutes played?

If you mean his per minute production then yes he had good per minute production. He just didn't play many minutes.

If a guy comes on the court and scores a 3 pointer in the first 5 seconds of the game and then misses the rest of the season I am sure his per minute production would be amazing. But he surely isn't "damn good."

No if I had a choice I would rather sign a young undrafted or D-League player because at least that player will come to camp in shape and give it everything he's got in practice and when in games. You called out our front office for not resigning a player that screwed them over the past 3 seasons. You want to reward a player who's track record shows he will probably not even be available for half the season. Great team building skills you have. :roll:

I trust Larry Brown over you on this one.

IDK about a "beast" in college. He was an out of shape fat load then and used his massive girth to push around skinny college players. Coleman in college was an all around beast. Was the number 1 overall pick and had some great seasons (stat wise) during his first 5 years in the NBA. Were you even born when Coleman was in college?


As for his NBA career, he was damn good in 06-07.


What did he average in minutes per game? 6?

might as well, he'll help us in our apparent quest for the #1 pick. Our front office is so pitiful, it's disgusting.
