He should, as long as he stays healthy....did you see that story a few weeks ago where he was playing a pickup game at a local gym while the team was on the road?!?

I am not a fan of soccer, but I watch the world cups and you people are not one of the greatest to say the least. Maybe because there are not much people into soccer, so you don't make new good players.

It's basketball here in the US.

Yeah, I read about that. I think he needs to mature a little, and become a better decision maker.

Originally posted by easports43[..]

And that's mainly because of the money.

Why even put yourself in that situation? I don't get it. you're right, he does need to mature a bit. I mean, if he gets hurt again, the whole city will turn him. (remember Sam Bowie?)

Haha, how could I forget Sam Bowie. I can't believe they passed up Michael Jordan, for him!

Originally posted by haytrain[..]

Not that it's a valid excuse, but you've got to remember that they just drafted Clyde Drexler the year before and had him playing the SG....but still....it's Michael Freakin' Jordan!

True...I actually was a blazers fan for a few years. Back when they had Pippen, Rasheed, Sybonis (he was a bust as well, lol), etc.

Those were the years when I actually interned and worked for the team.

And the big problem with Sabonis was that his Lithuanian team retained the rights to him for all his prime years. By the time he finally got out of that contract and came to the US, he was over the hill.

I remember that story. I'll tell you what, the NBA just isn't what it used to be...
