my opinion, having heard him speak, is that he's partially deaf.

Agreed Flesh.
And I didn't say I didn't like him- just that we as fans got a guy with some baggage on our hands is all.
I agree with KB, part Black, part Cartoon.

KB, even if he's being treated and is on his meds, its still a 'dented can' IMO, esp. if he is in fact Bi-Polar.

my point is the guy stressed it was one year 5 years ago, and they're still friends. A shitty college basketball player saying "Bi-polar" isn't exactly enough for me

Notsomuch going on "walk on's" word as I was lending credence to Stan Hochman apparently being privy to something, and standing by that despite his apology made later.
And I don't know if its bi-polar or what, but the kids touched in SOME way it would seem.

yeah hochman may know something, but even if he does, i'm having a hard time seeing "Bi-polar" or "crazy" from one story

Sitting on the bench for 1.5 years behind an inferior player would have triggered a bigger meltdown than "shoot the fucking ball!" and we probably would have heard about it.
He's fine.

Fair enuf KB, except its not just 1 story.
Its the story by the walk on, and earlier mention citing a different source by Stan.
All Im sayin is I subscribe to the 'where there's smoke, there's at least a little fire' way of thinkin.
Nothing against the Urkel, I like him and his turn around. I was not one to pile on the "ETs a Bust" train by any means, happy to see where this goes.

stan said nothing about crazy or bi-polar, and we don't even know if he knows shit. the only source for this is a guy describing a cocky freshman star from 7 years ago, and who says it was one year as a freshman.

From ESPN:
One source close to the situation told ESPN The Magazine's Ric Bucher that the Magic have promised Howard that they will add a quality player before Thursday's deadline and that Howard can decide the fate of both general manager Otis Smith and coach Stan Van Gundy at the end of the season if he signs an extension. Bucks swingman Stephen Jackson, frustrated in Milwaukee, is available and sources say he and Howard have talked about playing together.
Good grief.

Sixers to acquire "Mighty" Sam Young from Memphis for a 2nd rounder.
Nice addition, PITT bias aside.

Size off the bench, so it fills a need. Don't know much about him other than he hustles and can rebound. Seems like a good fit and his contract is up after this year.

Nets traded Okur, a scrub, and a protected first round pick for Gerald Wallace, who scores 13 pts and grabs 6 rebounds. Pick is only protected for the top 3 spots.
So the Nets potentially lose a lottery pick in a draft which is considered very deep, and Deron Williams bolts at the end of the year. Now they can't rebuild unless they hit one of the top 3 picks.
Billy King is an insane retard.

And yet, that is a better deal that getting nothing for your superstar center and allowing him to determine the fate of your front office, while talking about bringing in a journeyman under the guise of "winning".
Ah, the NBA

i think the howard thing is being blown out of proportion. he's not holding the team hostage.
the other leagues all have situations like this, whether it's Eli in NFL, Lindros in NHL, etc
