    Ugh, will you please just stop. Athletecism aren't everything, but I guess you don't realize that since you think Pops is just a younger version of Scola. Tim Duncan is already 33 is he not? By my indication he still at least two years of elite production left before he wanes, so that gives Scola who plays a lot like him (and not like Pops at all) 5 more years as a very conservative estimate.

    I don't know why but for some reason you think young athletic players = superstar players (Von Wafer, Rudy Gay), while poor hops = poor players (Battier, Scola). I'm not 100% but weren't you also the guy who said before that you don't respect a GM who didn't play professionaly? Lol.

    You are absolutely right on the money here.

    Now that I think of it, (why the hell would be sign another power forward?) there must be a trade in the works. Either involving Pops, or Landry/Hayes/Dorsey?

    No way Rockets keep all the post-players they have now.

    37% FG is just as bad in lesser minutes.

    Nice Mobb Deep reference. You been saving it or it a spur of the moment thing?

    I would have went with Burn, though. :cool:

    Yeah, it's odd. Dude averages about 10 boards when given over 20 minutes of playing time...

    Funny.. according to 82games.com, the Raptors got a whopping 40% of offensive rebounds and 80% of defensive rebounds when he was in the game. It's limited minutes and probably lots of garbage time, but still... damn.

    Posters these days??? Hahahaha thats funny because shame on you for even bringing up a guy like Wilt Chamberlain when we are talking about a guy name Pop. The way the NBA was back then was no where near as it is now.

    As for your so called all star superstar quote..Hmmm if he was soooo nice like that then tell me why did it take him this long to find a team?? Skilled Big guys get picked up quick yet it took him about what 3 months to find a team. Hmmm what an all-star superstar player he is.

    Also no matter how good or so called good he is. If he was that nice then. #1. Commentators and reporters from ESPN would have over hyped the guy.. Never happened.

    #2 Guys here on Clutchfans would have had millions of threads talking about Morey make it happen blah blah blah...Never happened.

    #3. He wouldn't be on his 3rd or 4th team if he was this nice player you make him out to be.


    Now I can be wrong about the guy who knows but as of right now the guy is a question mark. The signing is basically or probably just a signing to help out during training camp

    You have been a part of an elaborate scheme masterminded by Knote32.

    Knote. You fooled me.

    According to the Raptor's board, half of his offensive rebounds come from his own missed layups. :D The defensive rebounds are good, though.

    Exactly.. Im glad on member is starting to see the light lol :D :p .. Mind me we have 17 players already on the Roster. 2 guys have got to go. James White possibly being one considering he has a non guaranteed contract. I wonder who the other one is

    i'm really confused about this signing, it makes no sense, we could have had AI instead of this guy but we sign a 4th string PF?
