Love to see the Magic hire Shaq as GM and Ewing as Head Coach.

I'm sad that Reggie was garbage for you. He's not a rotation player on a good team even when he has it together, due to his defense. But his offense really is nba caliber. Or at least it was.

If you mean averaging 12ppg on an nba team next year, then yes, I'll take that bet.


I'll send you the paypal to wire the money to. I think he found his shot hiding somewhere near chernobyl... the guy is on fire right now and is on a mission...

just hope a team picks him up

No, he wouldn't have.

And it was the pre-season of his sophmore season.



Same thing.


You were on Matt Carroll's nuts for like 5 years straight. Matt Carroll, a nobody, but you weren't willing to give Ammo at least a second season to prove himself? We're not talking Larry Bird here, but at least he could have been a reliable scorer.

Randomly came upon this old Bobcats game and it really was a surprise since there aren't many games of our first seasons around.

Anyone interested in Brevin Knight's 15pts/15asts/5stls or anything?

At the very least Hammer looks like he belongs on an NBA court. Morrison looked like he shouldn't even be in the parking lot selling boot leg t-shirts.

It was very obvious to people who actually watched college ball and cared about the Bobcats that Morrison wouldn't cut it.

If Ammo has found his shot (yea!) then why did he have to leave that Euro team b/c of lack of minutes?

you don't leave a no name european team, go to new jersey and try out, all because you're not getting minutes...

I don't consider making shots during extensive garbage time as someone who belongs in the NBA. You saw how much time Matt Carroll got when he went to Dallas? 0. Huge difference when each game has meaning, as the intensity is a hundred times greater each night, especially on the defensive end.

Also, I'm not saying Ammo would have been anything great, but we never got to see a healthy Ammo after his rookie season. It was just a bad spot for him because of his personality and the fact that he's from the Northwest and was the 3rd overall pick. Just never fit in here and lost his confidence. Kudos to Carroll for showing confidence, but he was playing for his dinner each night, whereas Ammo was not. Still, they both suck because they aren't athletic enough and when the chips are on the line cannot be trusted to make shots. Defensively, they both suck. Still rather have a healthy Ammo coming off the bench. (if he never tore up his knee)

Your placement of the word Honestly would imply that you have been lying in your other posts...

who are you really? Peyton Westlake?

Which Clippers team would you take....

Kyrie Irving- Mo Williams- Eric Bledsoe
Eric Gordon- Randy Foye
Al-Farouq Aminu- Ryan Gomes
Blake Griffin- Reggie Evans
Deandre Jordan- Chris Kaman

They added Chauncey Billups, Caron Butler, Kenyon Martin, and Nick Young after deal.

it is tough to know if they would of done these additions without doing the Paul trade.

If your a clippers fan do you take team above or current team....

I assume they would still have gotten Butler without the CP3 trade.

I honestly think, if healthy, the Clippers would be better off with Irving and Gordon in the back court.
