I still can't believe this guy was a #1 draft pick. He was picked by the Wizards and landed in L.A in a blockbuster deal his participation was nonexistent so we had to let him go to acquire Gasol from Memphis. Now Detroit, unable to agree on a deal with Josh Smith, claiming he's asking for too much money, dare even considering Kwame and agreed on a 3 year contract. See that's my problem with Joe Dumars and the owner they never want to spend money to acquire players (they are so cheap, that's how they let Big Ben go). They always go after the no name, 3rd round picks, undrafted type players hoping to get the best out of them. Sure they turned out to be great players (Chauncey Billups, Prince, Hamilton...) but at one point if you want to compete you got to spend some money.
We'll see how it will turn out, some players shine when put in the right environment, Detroit might be the best fit for Kwame or it could turn into the worst management move made by Joe Dumars.

-Nenad Kristic leaves NBA for Russian team. I told you Josh Childress started a trend.
