    Proof is in the pudding, we signed Dalembert to a 2 year 6M per year contract, with next year only 1.5M guaranteed. Its not BS. Fortunately, Dalembert seems to have undergone the Zack Randolph reformation treatment and put all that negative stuff behind him.

    I don't think Dalem Bear had much negatives in his career.....
    Guy always stood up for his country

    Wow, will Mr. Clutch ever show his face in this thread again to provide us with more of his "insight" on the Haitian Sensation?

    If I was the OKC GM I'd be arranging a blockbuster WB trade before the deadline. Once a player gets the "who's the alpha dog?" virus he'll never recover, and this will sabotage chemistry sooner or later (see KG vs Marbury, Kobe vs Shaq, Joe Johnson vs Nash/Amare/Marion).

    WB+Perkins+pick+filler for Dwight Howard. Not only this deny the Lakers, Knicks and NJ the Dwight Howard experience, it'll also ensure OKC has two of the top 3 players in the league (IMHO). For Orlando, this beats out any package including Bynum+Gasol.

    Some people never learn. Fortunately Presti doesn't agree with you. Plus OKC isn't on Howard's list.

    We'll see, I think a DH-WB trade makes too much sense for both teams not to happen. Also they have KD, Ibaka and Harden. I don't really see why Howard will walk away from OKC if he ends up there.

    Dalembert is performing to his career average. This is just a continuation of what he's always been. The problem is Philly expected him to develop into a max player since he was paid close to that. For what we paid for him, he's a bargain.

    More proof that perception tends to rule over facts. His numbers are right on par with his career numbers. Just admit you were wrong and move on.

    Seems the amount of bashing a player gets ALWAYS CORRESPONDS to right when they get a BIG RAISE, or to the amount of BKG MONEY they're getting paid. Or if they're earning a bit too much media HYPE.

    Its just harder to root for an $80 million dollar man than a veteran's minimum guy. And harder to look at them as objectively.

    Don't worry, he won't. He'll go to synergy sports and comeup with some lame excuse. Let me say this, the bs people come up with, players don't care. I've never played pro ball, but I played d-1 and have been around a lot pro guys. They don't really care as long as the guy is doing his job and helping the team win. Everyone won't get along and that's a fact.the things said about dally were mostly made up. Philly gave the big deal thinking he was spiraling up. What he's doing now is what he's done his entire career except he's a little better offensively than he was 5 yrs ago.

    The same bs has been said about guys like deandre jordan, but when he started getting time, people said it was because of griffin. Once again, bs and lies. Jordan will never be a great offensive player and I've never heard of him being a problem. He's going to be a camby type for his career and that kinda guy has true value. Oh wait, blocked shots are overrated, charges are better.
