NBA Players Association

If Kwame gets waived this month then we can still put him on the playoff roster.

So even if he gets signed after march 1st, he would be eligible?

The March 1st rule is about getting waived, not getting signed.

I like Kwame, but I find it funny if he went to the Suns....

I can see it now, Suns down by 1. Final possession. Nash breaks down the defender, slashes towards the basket, the opposing Center steps up to defend nash... Nash does bounce pass to Kwame, seconds ticking.. Kwame rises and.....

LOSES THE BALL GOING UP TO THE BASKET, ball goes out of bounds....

:rofl:

But yea... if it's for league min, or a little over I'd take Kwame back... Get rid of dead weight Mhim... what has he done in oh... the last 3 years???

Does anyone have a link supporting this rumor?
Don't think this is going down from a Memphis perspective

I said before I'd take him as a third string Center...

have him compete for minutes with Mbenga :rofl:

funny sh**

if he does come back, he better not take any minutes from Turiaf.

3rd string center? You'd seriously take Mbenga or Mihm over Kwame?

As for Turiaf, he'll be playing PF, so there is no reason to think that Kwame would take any minutes from him. If anything it will keep Turiaf from having to play out of position.

For that price, why not

No, if I had a choice I wouldn't play any of those three. But, evaluating all three through this season:

1. Mihm - excessive injury, cannot take any credit for the Laker's success this season. I have a feeling he will not see court time the rest of the season.

2. Kwame - Kwame, enough said

3. Mbenga - sadly, is the only one who has fulfilled his role, AS A FREAKING 10-day CONTRACT at that! His role was simple... defend, rebound, foul hard, and score when given the opportunity. Kwame's role was exactly what Mbenga has been doing, but has failed miserably. Kwame's so-called excuse is injury to the ankle, but how the f*** does that affect your catching ability? passing ability? making layups? He's been crap since the day we've signed him.

My point was though to have Turiaf as backup center. I'm not saying he can't play PF.
