And yea, that’s what I’m afraid of with Collins and especially Magloire. I haven’t met (via the Inter-web) one Wizards fan who thinks Jamaal would be a good idea … some are lukewarm on Jason.

It’s just disappointing that the Wiz don’t have their targets set higher.

Then again, I don’t envy the position your Nets are in … so good luck with that! :)

Jason Collins is a great defensive leader – in 2007, he was able to frustrate Chris Bosh in the playoffs. The Nets team defense has great suffered since he left the team. However, he has become inept on offense. His free throws are horrendous, his once steady jump shot ricochets everywhere, he is very slow, and has no jumping ability. Honestly, at this point, he would make a better assistant coach than player.

Jamal Magliore, however, is another story. He is your classic NBA prima-donna, who will cause trouble in the locker room if he isn’t getting his minutes and his touches. He talks tough, but does not have the game to back it up. Many see him as a “former All-Star”, and figure signing him to a small contract is a low-risk, high-reward. In actuality, there is no reward whatsoever – just flush that money down the toilet.

However, his tendency to play away from the basket on offense makes me think he’s more of a rich man’s Oleksiy Pecherov.
