(Let's see if Darth Tater actually reads any of the basketball related threads, because if he does, it won't take long for his evil Anti-Canadian response)

Oops, I thought this was a fantasy thread...I mean, really, a Cannuckian playing basketball???

Anyhow, Jammer, everyone knows that just because an Eskimo can sometimes hit the broad side of an igloo when he chucks a snowball doesn't mean the talent will translate to being able to throw a basketball with accuracy.

Keep DD.

We keep adding fossils, we might as well become the La Brea Pistons.

Detroit = tar pit for NBA dinos? Is that what you're saying?

As much as I liked Elden Campbell. We gotta stop with the Campbell, Coleman, Webber, Davis-like signings. We're passing up on guys who could actually contribute to drag these giants sloths along.

he's so young he's the opposite of dead not old lol

he'd be no more then an emergency backup this season, but i think 2009-2010 he might just be something to be had.... time will tell.

You know what, it's bad enough that Joe needs to work voodoo to keep Lindsey animated on the bench...

Now we want Arnie to wrap and unwrap Dale "The Mummy" Davis 3 times a day?

Has anyone seen him lately? Or have we kept him in a sarcophagus in the training room since last year?

We have Maxey, and Amir, if some stuff goes down I'll take Samb before I ask Joe to read from the book of the dead again.

I beg to differ. Dale was impressive last year in very limited minutes. In the Cleveland series I felt like there was at least one game (I think it was the Lebran explosion game) where he was the only big man who knew what he was doing out there. Dale has extremely good court sense and he ages well. He knows he can't rely on athleticism for an edge, so he outfoxes and outboxes out there. AND he has effectively been resting the entire season so far. Sure, there could be some rust to shake off, but I would love to see him taking out the trash as a reliable backup when the younguns are overwhelmed.

Maybe we are forgetting - Dale plays with the "Going To Work" attitude that we supposedly know and love - and miss. So just be sure you don't miss those days anymore before you go knocking Tazer. That reminds me - how can we not pick up this guy, just for the Tazer history!

Now you want Joe to get Olowokandi?

Magloire signed with Dallas, so that ends this discussion.
