S Jax would be like the Stackhouse signing: a player for now that will ultimately get cut for something better & more useful.

I'm kinda neutral here because I'm kinda biased in favor of him lol

Considering some of the players you've been dissing this is pretty funny.

I like SJax but he's old and as cancerous as anyone can be.

The only team that has been linked to him directly has been New York, but apparently they're out of the running because they signed Jeremy Tyler. Every other rumor I've read from Hoopshype says that he's been linked or talking to 'several teams'. I'm praying that we're one of them, a minimum deal with a team option on the 2nd year would be a dream come true, he can really contribute.

What's so funny about it? I said I like him as a player so my judgement was clouded.. The other players I was neutral towards.

Just read Ira Winderman say no, he doubts it on his blog.

I have no idea now what exactly we are looking for if any, and they better not mess around and think we good

Miami is a team with a severe flaw (lack of center). Just look at what Birdman, a min center, who is old and can only play 15 mins a game did for us. A min signing can make a huge different for a team like Miami especially a center.

Just sign Haddadi and call it a day. I know of what I speak

I know, I'm just saying people complaining about a guy like Lamar's flaws are gonna have to lower their expectations for who we can sign. If he was still in his prime, we'd have no chance at him.

Wiretap article says LeBron's been working out since July, motivated by the moves made by several teams this offseason. Should I even ask what everyone else on the team is doing right now

Good to see Bosh grew his dreads back.

Jack Cooley, per wire tap we offered him a partial guarantee to come to camp?? Anyway he turned it down but what did they see in him to bring him in? An undersided banger? Anyway its good to see that we are looking at a few prospects for camp. Cant wait until its announced what we are doing. I have a feeling there is 1 or 2 more surprises coming this off season. *cough* Harrington *Cough*

woahh slow down there. Birdman, although old, is doing the same thing he has done in his career. We need to sign a center who has a history of staying healthy and productive.

not saying all centers should be that way, like the odens who havent had the oppurtunity to stay healthy, but lets not act as if birdman is doing anything different here..

It's funny because he's the most cancerous player around at the moment. :roll:

The same was said last year when we got Birdman.

People want minimum guys to fill out the roster. Seems reasonable to me.
