He was not sought after by teams - who were we bidding against to pay a premium for this guy? 44% from the field, suspect three point skills, doesn't move the ball around and doesn't play defense. I'm not annoyed he wasn't worth the #2 pick in 2005. I'm worried he's not worth $7m per in 2014.

Because he's better than Tolliver. Lol. I'm being sarcastic but that's what they are gonna tell you.

I don't think we're getting Lance. Do we have space to do that and get a $2-3Mish backup pg?

I think we do, we can offer lance 12 million and get a backup PG for 2 million like Roberts

Yeah. Tolliver is better. I want him back.

in the summer of 2005 i co-wrote two player profiles for draftexpress - raymond felton and marvin williams. those were the only two i ever helped with. apparently bobcats/hornets loved my work.

I'll blame you for the Felton when it happens.

maybe we can trade for derrick williams, michael beasley and hasheem thabeet so we can have the market cornered on underwhelming #2 picks.

Big whoop. What a sh**ty consolation prize.

What the serious f*ck is this signing.

Terrible player. Terrible fit. Terrible number.

I don't think he's a terrible fit. That's the only part of your statement that I can dispute in good faith.

Hey guys, guess what!?

Spoiler:

I loved the McBob for Warrick trade. I really liked the Tolly signing. I deplored the Al signing. And crap like this is why.

We are grasping at straws trying to build a team around this:

I think we need to implement a suicide help line on here.

This forum is getting dark!

Our defense was one of the best in the league and Al averaged beast numbers so you can get over that

I don't think he should start for us. I don't think he is a PF. I think he is a SF and SF is a position we should be playing MKG at for 35+mpg.

So we are paying 7 mil a year for a back up who should only see very limited mins?

Yikes!!

I see him playing a Mexicat type role for us and there is no way I would have wanted to paying him that sort of money.

Yeah, I decided my earlier post was too mild. I'm f***king pissed right now. They won't pay McRoberts but they'll give this fat-a**ed turkey $7m? Really?

You are like our very own version of the "6 degrees of Kevin Bacon" game.

You can relate everything and anything back to your hatred for Big Al.

It's like Groundhog day.

I see what you're saying but I think he'll start at power forward. Positions blur and Al will be commanding the middle as our true big man, so Marv will sit around the perimeter like a small forward. This is no doubt an overpay though. I hope Cho's calculator spit out some numbers that point towards Marv being good for us

He played PF last season and we need a PF to start. Likely he is going to play PF here since a starting PF was our biggest need since McRoberts left.

Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
