I wonder if he is gay? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I just wonder if he's worried that whatever is on that laptop could out him.

The clips waived Madsen, and AI might be close to signing with the Bobcats

That's just getting sad. If I remember correctly, he was still pretty damn productive in Denver. In the D, that was just a whole mess of issues. Now he has to settle with the Bobs. It's amazing how fast an NBA career can just fall off the map. Maybe he is asking for too much money or too big of a role... but with the Paytons and the Malones of the world, you would think he could have found a job with a decent team if this was just 1 year ago.

I think Charlotte is a very good situation for him. He can play a big role (start?), he'd be back with LB, they need scoring, he can sell tix, and if things break right, they can compete for a playoff spot (even after making that stupid trade).

It's about the best option out there for him, IMO

^Well said Glenn!

[UxKa]

Yeah all that is true. I'm just thinking that at this point in his career, he might as well chase a ring since that's the only accomplishment he hasn't checked off the list. Obviously that opportunity just isn't there for him.

[Cross]

Make or break for him here imo. If he can still prove hes a 20 point scorer and lead the bobcats to the playoffs, there might be a team willing to sign him. But I see the chances of all that being unlikely.

He's a future hall of famer for sure, but a loser.
