Kwame Brown

they wont trade for a gimpy Calderon atleast i hope not

never underestimate the stupidity of desperate front office

[DCW]

very true most of this offseason has been questionable

[Scottley Crue]

Vet minimum big man...why not?

Agreed. He'll be for depth and for that price, like you say, why not?

unless we trade dampier then what?
start nazr and play him 20 min per game
start diop?

either way kwame is going to get significant burn. he is better than diop.
one of two things is guaranteed to happen either
a. we trade nazr and someone else for a pg or sg
b. we trade damp for the same

Stop overreacting so much guys. Put it into perspective: For the vet min, I'd gladly sign Kwame. He's not anywhere near what a #1 pick should be, but for the vet minimum, he's productive. And since when are we concerned with people laughing at us? Haven't we thrived as a team with a chip on our shoulder, looking to prove people wrong?

Also consider Dampier probably wouldn't accept a minimum contract so it makes sense to sign Kwame.




Nazr/Brown/Diop certainly looks much better than Nazr/Diop.

so we took on carroll and najera to save 13 mil when we could have kept tyson and let him expire this year? i highly doubt we just waive dampier

.

Our definitions of "thrived" are obviously very very very different.






but the point of your post remains, not a big deal really.

What does waiving Dampier (or not) have anything to do with what I posted?

[Toocool]

Holy crap. Extremely surprised by this move, but then again he is better than Diop.

Mostly there for depth to backup Nazzy I assume, and possibly Dampier if he's coming back.

Can't really see him getting too many minutes, but I don't mind it as he's got the vet min and it's for depth. If he starts...then we got a problem.

Edit: Plus it could be worst...like Eddy Curry

i assumed it since you said dampier probably won't resign for cheap and then nazr/brown/diop looks better than nazr/diop, meaning no dampier.
