Blatche...LOL. Dude is the epitome of a loser. He can have all the money in the world and it wouldn't make a difference.

It was a nice reminder seeing him up close just how much of a fool this guy is on the court. The Nets fans around me were yelling "pass it!" "you're not a point guard" and "terrible shot" with relative frequency. So glad he's not a Wizard.

Its going to be hilarious how dumbfounded he is when he realizes that NJ is not willing to offer him a multi-year deal this offseason.

Ah...............A 6 game winning streak to end last year and now a possible 6 game losing streak to end this season. Oh the possibilites

It doesn't really matter for him that much. He still is owed 2 more years of the amnesty payment from the Wizards. Indeed, whatever money he gets above the vet minimum actually takes away from what the Wizards are required to pay him. (It's not a 1:1 ratio, if he gets paid $4M a year from Brooklyn, it'll detract something like $2M a year from what Leonsis owes him.) He as actually stated that he is willing to play for cheap just so that Leonsis has to pay more amnesty money.

I don't mean from an actual dollars and cents level. I mean he'll be dumbfounded when the Nets even given those salary benefits still take a pass on anything more than a one yr deal, as everyone else in the league will do.
