I knew you would pop a shit over that one... read the question: "you think the team would have a better image without"I didn't say he was a bust, just that I think his image and personality hurt the team. | |

| Lol damn No Longer DEAD, I give you mad reps for taking the time to do all this but I was talking currently right now.
Also, I wasn't nearly talking draft busts just overall, like the NBA would be better without him on that team. | |

| so basically players that SHOULD be doing more? here's the names that come to mind for each team:
atlanta - marvin williams (nearly impossible to argue this one, even with johnson signing a max contract) boston - marquis daniels (has done nothing for the celtics) charlotte - tyrus thomas (hasn't exactly been a bust for the bobcats yet, but was for the bulls) chicago - luol deng (gets payed a lot to be a role player) cleveland - antawn jamison (brought in to win a championship, but disappeared in round 2) dallas - dirk nowitzki (still not a leader), tyson chandler (for other teams) denver - kenyon martin (injuries have made his impact minimal) detroit - ben gordon, charlie villanueva (not as advertised last season) golden state - brandon wright (has done virtually nothing after being traded for jason richardson) houston - trevor ariza (overshot his abilities his first season in houston) indiana - tj ford, mike dunleavy (overpayed) los angeles c - baron davis (just happy to be los angeles), blake griffin (yet to play a game) los angeles l - shannon brown (didn't learn his role), lamar odom (got a big payday to be average most nights) memphis - hasheem thabeet (#2 overall pick got minimal playing time last season) miami - mario chalmers (failed to progress into a starting point guard after a good rookie season) milwaukee - michael redd (not the same player, but makes the same money) minnesota - darko milicic (still has work to do to become a solid backup center) new jersey - devin harris (was an all star 2 seasons ago, but fell off bad last season) new orleans - emeka okafor (took on a huge risk with his contract and didn't pan out), chris paul (team leader has demanded a trade) new york - eddy curry (overpaid and out of shape) oklahoma city - nenad krstic (inability to be physical has left the thunder soft in the middle), bj mullens (sucks) orlando - rashard lewis (solid player, but not for the money he makes) philadelphia - elton brand (signed a huge contract then disappeared) phoenix - earl clark (still not an nba player when he was expected to eventually replace amare) portland - greg oden (yeah) sacramento - no one (udrih is a little overpaid, but he played well last season is doing a good job helping with evans) san antonio - antonio mcdyess (expected to make an impact, but got outplayed by an undersized rookie) toronto -jose calderon (hedo and bosh are gone, so his salary and shared starting duties make him the clear choice) utah - andrei kirlienko (hasn't done much the past few seasons, but makes over 16 million) washington - gilbert arenas (the hole he dug for the wizards was unmatched this past season) | |
