yamaneko

Id get him for the money, not for what he can bring to the team. Hes not worst than chalmers, and here in the biggest japanese community outside of japan, hes bound to sell tons of jersyes, tons of press credentials, and will make thousands of japanese in japan clipper fans. This guy is HUGE over there. Its not quite ichiro mania when he came, but in the japanese basketball world, he is worshiped. If we give him a 2 year contract of like 1 million dollars, we would recoup that amount in publicity by itself in the first year alone.
