Dude from biohazard who was on Oz

I used to work with his brother-in-law. Gave me a crack at designing one of their album covers. (Wasn't meant to be.) He's married to a pornstar now.

Well... then that make it's even funnier.

If this signing does in fact happen then according to Chad Ford, we will be locking up the #7 UFA on the market. WOO HOO!!!

I'll take the "big man with a pulse" as well.

I've lived and worked in NYC and Philly, and the best "rock" station I've heard in the past ten years is 106.3 here in the middle of Jersey.

There is new "rock" music. It's just not found on mainstream, metropolitan-area radio.

Bon Jovi is the worst. His/Its' only place is filed under "Alaskan Crab Fishing Show Theme Song."

Not saying Lou will come close to Isaiah, but Thomas was sort of a shot-happy PG the first half of his career. He also had extraordinary assist numbers as well, but I wonder if he'd be considered a "tweener" now a days.

I was a little surprised he could be had for the minimum. But he was actually not in the league the year before last.

I'm torn. I've always thought Rush would be an excellent pickup, but my disdain for Eskin and the fact that he's reporting this keeps me from being as happy as I should.

Didn't you do that chat with Eddie last year for RealGM? :-P

Anyway, I like the 3 year part a lot.  As I've said before, the best way to make a bad situation good is to make everything line up.  This puts Dalembert, Evans, Green, and Lou-Will all on the same length contracts.  That's a lot of cap room in 2011 after everybody blows it in 2010.

It's also significant because that's the summer they'll probably look to give Thaddeus a big deal, if things pan out the way most are hoping/expecting.

I actually think Bogut's a nice player. Still a little pricey, but his deal wouldn't bother me if I was a Bucks fan. Milwaukee's problem is that they've overpaid for almost everyone else recently.

Evans is that type, but I'd prefer they add another wing with some sort of size to help fill out the roster.

Diawara is the closest thing to Lynch left, IMO. Good D, not much O, although they could add him at a relatively young age.

There's no way Cornstein (or whoever Sam's agent is at the time) would be dumb enough to look for that type of contract for Sam down the line. And he probably will maintain those averages.

I like Rush, maybe even someone like Yakhouba Diawara from Denver who's got some size, can play D, and is reportedly one of those hard-working, good-in-the-locker-room, lunch-pail types.
