I don't think that's Leon Powe. Looks nothing like him. Powe did play with James and Perkins in 2001 and 2002 though. Oakland Soldiers.Seriously? Holy shit, he looks WAY different.
Before few years, there was a player in Europe called Sofoklis Schortsanitis. He was very big, not tall at all, very massive but he has a name of a headcase and a kind of player which not any quality coach wants in his team. Suddenly comes David Blatt to his first year in Maccabi (after few years in other places) and decided he bring him to Maccabi Tel Aviv. Everybody was shocked, nobody wanted a headcase fat player who make so many troubles and can only hurt the team chemistry. Blatt took a big risk and signed him. Few years from that day Schortsanitis became the one of the top 5 centers in Europe.
Now I don't say Perkins gonna be the N.B.A version of Schortsanitis's success, we don't need him to be, we have Moz, but Perkins story reminds me this a little. I actually was against this sign but, who knows how good he may be for the team under Blatt? maybe we will see a new version of Perkins? It will be interesting to watch.
Who the hell passes around used tamponsBut theirs always TRob, a guy that gets passed around like a used tampon and couldn't carry Perks jockstrap.
Then theirs Blatche, this season wasnt a lockout so wtf was he doing over in China? Again, another no name lucky tall guy with little offensive game that made it. Nothing to see, move on.
Then at last we have Slammin Sammy. A guy who got bought out and when players get bought out theirs teams flying like buzzards. Not with Sammy. Hes been a ghost ever since, is it to late to put him on a NY milk carton?
Any "different players" I missed? At least Perk is respected and won a ring. Contributed to a ring for that matter.

Jscc said:Smith will be bringing the ball up the court with the second unit once Shumpert moves into a starting role.
I said the same thing when we acquired him, but I'm starting to doubt this happens. Smith has looked far better between Irving and James than anyone thought possible. I wouldnt be surprised if they decided to just keep the good times rolling with Swish in the starting 5 at this point.
I think JR is a great fit in the starting lineup as it gives us so much space. Also Blatt had done a good job getting Shump in early to spell LJ so that he can keep JR out there when LJ is on the bench then will bring in LJ when JR sits. I have to say Blatt has figured out his rotation and I like it. It will be interesting how he uses Perk, I could see him using it to keep Love and Moz mins down. It also gives us the ability to rest Love as we have a 4th big not names James Jones.JR's offense in the second unit is ideal, and there's no way Blatt doesn't already have that up his sleeve as an obvious playoff adjustment. But he's sharp enough not to mess with karma.
will he be with the team today?
