    Possibly. If he stays somewhat clean though, he's easily better than Sacre and some other bums on their team.

    That's a good move. The Laker honks on the radio last night wanted them to take him at 34. If he stays cool they got a big man for nothing

    No risk high reward ...

    Odds are far greater than 81% that he washes himself out of the league

    No risk high reward?

    edit: yeah i guess that makes sense from a $$$ standpoint

    No risk = no draft pick ... easy to take a flier on

    He looked good in SB training. He's probably not far enough from his checkered past to stay on the right track. I wish him well, but cheaters cheat, drinkers drink, and losers lose. I hope I'm wrong, but you are who you are at some point.

    Upshaw was a good player despite Romar. That has to be worth something to an NBA team. Fuck, the Blazers should have got in on that. Fucking worthless franchise.

    This! I argued this with DNC multiple times. Upshaw with that athletic 7 foot body needed to start, not sit for 10 minutes after warming up. It was RomarFS to have him sitting at the start of games when he was clearly the top player on the team

    Like it mattered.

    Dude was too busy slanging crack rock to even warm up.
