    Things Ive noticed the past few years. Every single player we've ever pick up had been a trash or something that is unwanted....hope you get the point here...meaning other team doesn't want them anymore.

    tmac - he was trash in orlando
    artest - he's the kind of person no one really want on their team due to attitudes
    wafer - Lakers thought he sucks...
    scola - same as wafer
    rafer - same as wafer and scola...

    so basically...we've picking up guys with extremely low expectation from other teams......why cant we pick up someone that have a good expectation from other team!!!!!!!!!! billups, nash, wallace, and **** load of other player i can name.... This team might be good but with all these player that were once rejected joined....nothing good going to happen.

    TMac was trash in Orlando? I suggest you define what "trash" is before you get laughed off this board.

    Also, Scola was highly regarded coming into the league. The Spurs did not consider him trash.

    stats doesnt really matter
    tmac was scoring champ in orlando and they were last place....
    each individual has an affect on the game one way or another

    seriously...tmac carried that orlando team. all those "trash" players you're referring to have made major contributions to the team.

    Good job done by Mavs. Instead of picking up him, they made a 2-time MVP, lol

    So a scoring champ is "trash"?

    Please look at the 1993-1994 championship team roster and apply your definition of "trash".

    The crazy part is EVERY SINGLE player you mentioned was trash at one point in their career. Nash was a scrub back in the day, got traded because he wasnt really wanted and wasnt expect to be much than a back up...billups also was tossed around, after being a high draft pick teams lost faith in him, then he eventually had a rebirth...Wallace, the guy tossed around ALSO because he wasnt wanted, even got traded for scrubs at one point i believe....horrible post..

    Using such silly logic might as well throw Yao in there as well for being trash that never got out of the first round.

    yao didn't have any reputation when he got picked

    i'm saying....for example Kobe, everyone knows that he got a extemely good reputation cause of things he do for the team....put that and relate to what i'm trying to say about expectations
