    Just noticed that McDyess has not play much at all since the trade back to the Suns. Really feel bad for the guy but if u have Jake Voshkul, Jahadi White, and even Googs, who ironically signed with the Suns after McDyess bolted to Denver, are playing over him, I would be pretty pissed. Was a starter for one game then played less than 5 mins since. Its really ashamed as he was one of the rising stars just a few years back to have DNPs. Wonder which teams would have interest in him this summer.

    I would like to see him on the Rox for MLE. Just think people were really pissed when we didnt sign him a few years ago.

    People nned to remember you have to take the good w/ the bad. Cant only think about Eddie Griffin, have to think of the good stuff to.

    He's washed up. Not worth the risk or the contract. As far as the Suns signing Googs, they're still regretting that to this day. As much as we b**** about our bad contracts, Suns had more then their share as well. Googs, and Penny were/are their bad contracts, with Stephon who was signed to an enormous contract as well. I forget what Marion's situation but I'd assume he was a max player as well. Essentially they had 1 max player who barely played off the bench in Penny, another bad contract who barely got any playing time in Googs, then Stephon who had a contract over 100+ million I believe and Marion who I assume is a max contract player. Maybe's he not, but they really had it a lot worse then we had it. Atleast with Cato and MoT they're still getting more then enough playing time and are actually significant to our success, and comparing their salaries to some of the Suns we got it lucky.

    Dice is done. Much of his game was predicated on his athleticism and that has severly been hampered due to his injuries. I dont think he will ever have that explosive jump again. He could really get up on his jump shot.

    He isnt worth more than the MLE that is for sure.

    When you fracture your knee cap w/o contact, that's not a good sign for your career.

    See also: Grant Hill's ankle.

    He'll never be what he was.

    If he plays for anyone, not the Rox, I wish that guy health and success.

    If he's well enough to play like the old Dice, I hope the health and success is here.

    Sad to see Dice end up as merely cap fodder. But at least he made a very good living up to now, so don't feel too sorry for him. He should be set for life financially.
