    He's gotta be just a practice squad player until the season starts. He cannot play anymore.

    The hate is ridiculous. Can't we sign several more league minimum guys and just cut them if it doesn't work out? I don't see the big deal with this signing as added depth and insurance. It doesn't mean we won't still be looking for other league minimum signings does it? Someone let me know if I am mistaken. We could still get a guy like Caanan, etc. to see if he has improved and can help the team. If not, we can cut the minimum guys without much issue.

    Remember the year Morey went into camp with like 4 league minimum guys like Reggie Williams, Omri Casspi, etc. (can't remember who else) but we ended up keeping Casspi and one other guy and cut the rest. This also doesn't mean we won't be keeping a guy like Payton. Prigioni will be great at teaching Bev, Gordon, and Payton the nuances of the game and how to be a wily vet. His leadership and heart was definitely missing from this team last year. The Jet could only mentor so much and he is more of a friend to these guys than Prigioni.

    Ok so he's only 25 years younger then me, I get it. But guess what ? This guy knows the system we're installing yes he's a hell of a passer and play maker. Not everybody has to score 20+ for us to be a scoring machine...somebody has to feed the furnace. Good for you dude !

    p.s. I would straight up many of the posters here on a one on one so I for one am NOT laughing. 'Specially the little Rockets Kiddie Experts..........

    Weird signing, he's just too old at this point, if he's playing any significant minutes for us, then we're ****ed.

    Lawson will ask for more money and doesnt do anything out there. He looks lost, no energy and cant even make his layups. He was looking pudgy with the Rockets.

    Nothing says we're committed to upgrading our backup guard spot more than signing PABLO PRIGIONI!

    Was Sam Cassell not available?

    What is it with us and signing players we already traded/waived/let walk within a couple of years of doing that?

    Should I expect another Aaron brooks signing?
