New Kwame in town, Pistons sign Kwame Brown

The only time post play is bad is when you're playing a crappy team with a zone defense that ends up with 4-5 defenders in the paint.
At that point the best bet for a big man is to set mid-range picks or fight for rebounding position.

Hell, if they end up with that many guys down low, you can kick it out for a wide open jumper.

I'm a fat chucker, sort of Antoine Walker-ish.

I probably shoot 10% or so from beyond the arc.

[Timone]

Y'all will warm up to him.

You can play on my team any time you want. As long as you do the shimmy after every shot, make or miss.

I don't get it

Kwame Brown's two-year, $8 million deal might be Joe Dumars's second-most questionable move as Pistons GM (we all know what's No. 1). Brown has been a failure at every stop since being drafted first overall; in fact, many of his numbers have gotten worse since he was a teenager. Why pay so much for a player who has produced so little, especially when there is no track record of improvement?

2 years, 4 mil per for a decent big man? How about who gives a fuck, ya cunt?

[Uncle Mxy]

How would you characterize Kwame Brown's playoff performances? Apart from having a couple good games against Amare's lack of D, I just don't see it.

Anyone think he will be "decent" come playoff time?

[DrRay11]

No choice but to wait and see. He's too unpredictable.

[Zekyl]

He's a backup big. Who fucking cares?

[Uncle Mxy]

I care if we could've gotten someone who could actually play in the playoffs.

For what we spent, I expect an Elden Campbell or Dale Davis -- someone who can come in and give a few good minutes a game in the playoffs (if the coach is smart enough to play 'em). If we get that, I live. If we get emo fuck face, we've blown a roster slot.



My sense is that he's a liability come playoff time. I want to be proven wrong, here.
