More like they don't feel he should hamper Derrick Brown's minutes with some old and busted guy trying to make a comeback on a playoff team. (At least I hope thats the case...)

Jawad Williams got a workout with the Spurs too.

Miles isn't a good fit for us. We have plenty of similar players, plus he's not really good anymore.

Well, he's here ... at least for now.

Non-guaranteed contract signed and an invitation to our training camp. That's awesome.

Where's Sean May? Adam Morrison? Antoine Walker? Man, the list could go on and on.

Dunno if Miles can beat out Brown and McGuire unless we have plans to play him as our second SG ( :o ) or PF?

I was never a big fan of this guy when healthy. Can he shoot from the outside? Because I can't see him getting to the hoop like he used to. He's also really bad from the FT line.

We need good outside shooters!

This is big news.

We've went from an unknown (McGuire) to a bust with hardly any success (Brown) to a bust only because of injury (Miles). Natural progression suggests that our next FA move should be a decent player.

LARRY HUGHES.

Brown isn't a bust yet.

Hard for any second rounder to be a bust...

He's talking about our free agent signings and is referring to Kwame Brown, not ups.

Oh :/

I actually like Kwame Brown's signing... its one of the few moves that we've made that actually makes sense no matter how you look at it. Well, unless you're one of those "omg, our rapidly improving franchise thats making steady progress compared to other new teams gives especially when you consider its lack of successful draft picks just can't keep but ruining itself through horrible/somewhat reasonable moves" people

Yes, I'm referring to Kwame. And I'm with you, I liked the move as well. I think he has a chance to flourish under LB (defensively at least) and give quality minutes each night.

IMO, Kwame is a better option than Tyson. We're paying a fraction of the cost for a small decrease in talent.

Wow ... Toine Walker hopes to join out training camp.

What an elite backup squad that would be

Kwame - Toine - Darius - Hughes - Livingston

The game changers and the ironmen.

Adding Iverson would be more amusing than Livingston though!

Well that would be more of just sad.
