Look, the Rox look like they are going to make the playoffs, therefore we are not going to that pick to help Francis in the future. If Leon Smith would come in and solidify a frontcourt spot than why would anyone disagree with that? He is at a disadvantage in negotiating a contract, so we can sign him cheap. If there is a problem than cut him and its over. The kid has got game, I mean he was drafted in the first round out of high school. Steve and Carlos all know what is like growing up with problems so they would be the perfect people for Leon to be around.
Can we sign him at league minimun with Dallas Paying the balance like augman in portland and moloney in chicago? Rocket River
I say give the kid a longshot look. As I recall we heard a lot of belowing about how rotten Mr Franchise was by outside interests. I'm not saying he's a choir boy, but everybody, ( except Snottie Peepee), deserves a second chance. If he needs psychological support, then that comes first. Just consider it an investment in a human beings future that could come up roses.
