    No, they do not. Despite a little buzz, this move still qualifies as very much under the radar.

    McHale sucks at scouting. He doesn't really know anything unless the guy has been on his team. How will he ever judge draft and trade prospects?

    The thing is... Royce had and still does have amazing talent. Just because he is too much of a dipsh** to hold a job, doesn't mean he wasn't talented.

    hmmm scouting a player is not all about talent!

    You have to take several other parameters into account. Beasley has talent but we all know how that worked out. You get my drift...

    McHale does not use his eyes to evaluate talent he uses his tongue. He needs the player to be in tongue range.

    If I remember correctly Fred Hoiberg put in a good word about Royce.

    Man I really hope this guy turns out to be a valuable player off our bench. I love guys that play with determination and give it their all like Bev. Got to respect the players that hustle.

    He will be a worthy backup to Ariza. We could see them on the floor together in a small ball lineup.

    I just hope his month-long 3pt shooting slump was a fluke...

    This is a real "meh" signing, hopefully he'll prove somewhat serviceable.
