    Except with Dorsey, they're a historical precedence for having such reticence. The last two seasons, he's been great in the Summer League and the pre-season, but come the regular season he was a dud. We traded him and the Kings didn't even want him. There's a reason for it.

    Yes. And it's correct in both cases, and none of what you wrote is in any way a contradiction. I don't understand why you don't get it, or why it seems unbelievable to you.

    This is approximately how veterans see the preseason:

    Rooks and scrubs go all out in the preseason and even take the risk of making mistakes by being to hasty to try to impress coaches.

    Coaches mess around with crazy lineups, play people they wouldn't ordinarily play, and rest their starters.

    If you don't take all those three motivations in to consideration when making judgements, you are going to arrive at incorrect conclusions.

    It was the Kings that cut him. The Rockets offered him a contract after he got cut, but he declined to play for the Rockets.

    That's because the word "play" in this sense means something totally different in his case for JD :) :(

    He has a better chance of getting some minutes playing for lesser teams.

    Not really. Most people here seems to think Morey made the mistake of cutting Dorsey when the opposite actually happened.

    Was a big fan of Dorsey in college, saw him play many times against the Cougars, but he is what he is. If he works really hard, he can be Ben Wallace, but he'll more than likely be Kelvin Cato.
