Patterson would give the team a hustler and slasher which is what they need right now w/ no Ariza and only one SF. It should be obivious that he could help right now. He already is getting paided by like two teams this yrs so a small prorated deal would be ok for him.

He isnt getting paid by anyone. But yeah, he would take a vet. min.

I wouldnt recomend it though. Patterson is the biggest cancer since melanoma.

do we know WHY the Clippers cut him?

doesn't it seem strange that the Clips cut this guy and he still hasn't been able to sign with another team?

Patterson was one of the main culprits during the JailBlazers years. He is a solid player, but an absolute cancer. Hannah Montana and Zoey would have to leave town if we got this perv. NO THANKS.

Even if they send him to the D-league, he counts as roster spot. They would have to cut him to make room...

I think NBA would give teams an extra roster spot if they have more than 3 players lost to long term injuries. We have Bynum and Ariza out for 8 weeks while Mihm and Radmanovich will be out for God knows how long. I think we can qualify to get another roster spot if we want to.

No matter how many times you explain , peps are still going to post the same thing over and over again .

Just like this ..................

I agree we should try to get R.P ASAP ........ DO IT MITCH ..........

Lets just get Pippen and Jordan out of retirement. Heck, let's just go all out and get KAJ.
