    How could giving this guy a shot at the vet min be a bad thing? I can understand complaining if he was making a lot of money, but not at the vet min.

    Having him around would be a decent option if we were to deal Cato. Or decide to play Cato at PF more often. For that matter, bring him in and if he has something left, make a move. If he doesn't, cut him.

    He wouldn't consider Houston anyway.

    If Phoenix, Portland, Dallas and Houston offer him the same deal he wouldn't go to Houston that's for sure.

    Me, intelligent? I should sig this. ;)

    I'd like to add that although I don't always agree with the premise of your posts, I always enjoy someone who can crank out a well presented argument with backing to it. And it's always useful to have someone on the board who seems to have the CBA memorized. I always have to click Bender's website.

    As far as the rest. Eh. I should've explained better. I didn't know Deke was an "official" nickname. I abbreviate his nickname and don't pronounce it as Mike, but the way the beginning of his name is prounounced. Kinda like calling Taylor MoTay instead of ******. I will never refer to him as Deke. Sounds like a spanish speaking kid who learned a new cuss word(and in my Rome, I have to be a little fluent). Ugly. Or perhaps I'm just not hip enough.

    Fo shizzle.

    Hey, I've been making fun of that name since I blasted the Kings for taking him as well as the grainy amateur video they showed at the draft of him doing relatively unspectacular things. Little did I know the kings were one of the few on the cutting edge at the time in regards to global scouting. :eek:

    Let's keep the bbs respectful and free from lewdness. Go Yao Ming! ;)
