I've never heard anyone say wassup waah-sup - wassup wuh-sup - wussup what's up - "" just to stay on topic, Griffin was a dud, jacked up 3s, shot below .400, and liked to smoke pot
yea, jvg would NEVER sign him ... apparently, jvg has designated special people on Clutchfans to be his official spokes persons since we're all talking as if we known him personally since' the good 'ol days, let me say, being jvg's closest friend and all, that jvg would "NEVER" pass of even slightly considering bringing eddie back, in fact, no Rational Person would pass off talent like that so easily. but hey, what do i know, i'm just jvg's best friend.
If EG is medicated for his bi-polar symptoms, and he doesn't drink anymore, I say sign him and give him a chance.
For the minimum? Sign him up. Howard is going to be a lot better than people think, but if EG has his stuff in order he could be great on the bench.
Thanks alot Doctor Robert. If I ever have any other medical questions I will come to you. BTW, good luck Eddie G. and get well soon...!
For the minimum why not give him a shot. He still could be good, just dont let him carry a gun. Plus about that whole smoking weed thing, I know another PF that helped his team win a championship this year and that guy gets caught all the time w/ that stuff.
Maybe EG is worth a shot..........maybe However (steven A smith voice) To say he makes the 4 a non issue is just dumb. Juwan Howard is going to suprise alot of people this year IMO.
Eddie is not bipolar. (Huge difference. Bipolar is genetic, while his depression was situational.) He suffered from depression, and has taken the appropriate treatment.
Well, if it's situational, let's give him another chance a lot less risky than it being a genetic thing.
Wow there sure are many EG haters that actually think he wouldn't help this team in the years to come. EG is going to turn 23 this season and has more potential than anyone competing at the 4 right now. He started almost the whole season in '03, so he does have some experience. By the way if we did get Eddie, along with Juwon, MoT, and Spoon; I'll say it again "it would end all worries about the 4 spot!!!" How can you argue with that? The weakest link in those named was Spoon and he is far from a scrub. Yet I'm braindead! People don't have to demean someones arguement by using terms such as that, especially when you the one that don't know what you talking about.
Actually .. . If I was a betting man I would say Eddie is being very closely by ONE RUDY T Eddie is a nice big man that he can get on the cheap If Shaq and/or Kobe leaves Rudy has to get SOME talent Cheap and on the fly Eddie would be #1 on my list Get DFish to stay Eddie Walton Rush Dfish not an all star line up . . but a start of something Plug in Shaq or kobe .. and they are better than the clippers Rocket River
There has been no evidence that Badiane is anywhere near ready for the NBA yet. EG has proven FAR beyond a shadow of a doubt that he can play and even excel in this league. There is no chance that the Bad man could put up 25 points or block 7 shots, accomplishments that EG was able to put up in his rookie year at 19. If it turns out that EG is still a headcase, we can 86 him again and at the minimum, it wouldn't even cost that much to try. JVG wouldn't do the signing, CD would. I would hope that JVG would run EG through a LOT of hoops before he got significant playing time, but if you think JVG would turn down a guy like EG at anywhere near the minimum salary, I would wager that you are mistaken.
Bi-polar disorder, also called manic depression, is characterized by severe mood swings from extreme mania (happy, hyper, scattered behavior) to extreme depression (self explanatory). It is fairly common and with treatment, easily managed.
Yeah, first he was "depressed" , now he's "bipolar". I wonder if both he and Mike Tyson are using the same doctor...
I just spoke to eddie griffin at the gas station where he was pumping gas. Iasked him if hes gonna be a Rocket and he said no hes heading back to jersey. He might be lying but thats what he told me.
