    Jalen Rose was bought out in October or November and signed by the Suns. Are you saying he's going to be bought out again? If he was cut by the Suns to (I don't think that's what you mean though) then I would think he would be very damaged goods.

    This would be amusing for NBA2k7. It would be pretty crummy in the real world.

    Did you seriously start a new thread on this, when there are already threads all about this stuff on the front page?

    I hope we stay with the Fab 1. I don't like Webber, and I don't like Rose.

    I agree. Interesting to think about, but a terrible, terrible idea.

    Why in the world would you want Jalen Rose and Webber on this team???

    If Rose's contract is bought out by the Suns, that means he's basically been fired by two teams.. in what, one year? Would you hire someone with that kind of job history?

    I would hate to have Webber here.. he doesn't come through when you need him, and he breaks down a lot. He would get owned by the big men in the West. Mutombo would probably accidentally shatter his glassy body in practice.

    Jimmy King and Ray Jackson would be the other two: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fab_Five

    Per jdrock:

    "If Rose's contract is bought out by the Suns, that means he's basically been fired by two teams.. in what, one year? Would you hire someone with that kind of job history?

    I would hate to have Webber here.. he doesn't come through when you need him, and he breaks down a lot. He would get owned by the big men in the West. Mutombo would probably accidentally shatter his glassy body in practice."

    Webber is damaged goods- cannot move. Mentally he is a choker. I would rather have that murderer-Jayson Williams on this team for the vet minimum-strong rebounder-and could loan Les Money for new players....

    jdrock-

    I had a thought about Mutombo shattering Webber's glass body. Do you remember the advertisement-commercial for memorex cassette tape- a famous jazz singer (Ella Fitzgerald maybe?) was demonstrating shattering a glass with her voice. I wonder what Deek's voice would do?

    If we can get Rose and Webber, then get Jimmy King to be the financial planner for our players, we will have four of the Fab 5.
