a) Has a bad back that will reportedly keep him out for the first part of the season
b) Is a rookie
c) Is under-sized at the 2
d) Couldn't guard anyone in college with a good back.

That's about as glaring a hole as one sees on an NBA team.

Not really. Bogans may be starting at SG and he'll provide just as much as DeShawn did. And Stevenson basically split minutes with Dooling anyway. So throw in Redick and then Hill and Hedo can both play some SG. And in desperation Orlando can go with Nelson and Arroyo at the same time. So not really a glaring hole at all.

How come when athletes ask for more money than we think they deserve they are greedy, and when Deshawn Stevenson signs for a small amount with a back-to-back playoff team he is considered dumb? I just think it is unfair to applaud someone when they take a pay cut to stay with a team, but silly to take a pay cut to play for another team. I welcome Deshawn Stevenson to the team and hope he has a great time here.

Why do people always say this? Do you not watch the games? Dwight gets double and triple teamed every time he touches the ball.

And Redick's taller than DeShawn Stevenson!
Nowhere near as built though, obviously.

Grant Hill won't play, face it, it worked 2 years ago, then messed up last year.

Still, wings should be flocking to play with Dwight - even Steve Nash says he's the bigman to start a team with now.

Shame bout the draft pick in 2007 though.

He got a 14 year old girl drunk and slept with her.

He had some other problem his rookie year at Utah. Flipped out or something, don't remember exactly.

So yeah, he's not the brightest bulb in the box.

Sounds like Deshawn will be motivated and play with a chip on his shoulder. As long as we keep him away from the cheerleaders, I think we'll be in good shape.
