    Ruben Patterson waived - any interest?

    MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The Clippers on Thursday waived veteran forward Ruben Patterson, whose contract was set to become fully guaranteed Saturday, and were expected to sign guard Richie Frahm to a non-guaranteed contract.


    I'm guessing that we have no room for him....he's an aggressive and tough defender and a decent scorer. I know he has "baggage".....but I thought I'd throw this out there.

    No thanks. What's left of his game is somewhat interesting, but not when I consider the history as well. We also don't need another swingman.

      I'm really not sure exactly what it's going to take to redeem the Indiana Pacer image after all that's happened during the past few years. But I'm pretty sure "sex offender" isn't near the top of the list.

          I'm surprised by this move by the Clippers, but I guess it opens PT for Thornton, who I am impressed by.

          But, no, I would pass on him.

          It seems odd and makes me wonder if there is more of a story behind the move.

              Ladies and gentlemen, the Boston Celtics' new sixth man.

                Yeah, what this team really needs is a rapist. That should win the fans back.

                The fact that he plays the same position as Danny/Shawne/Dunleavy/Marquis/Graham doesn't bother me, nor does the fact that he's shorter than Kareem Rush and has no shot to speak of.

                I say go for it. He could be the 7th man on our All-SF team.

                    Absolutely no question his D would be huge for us. Plus he excels in an open court game. JOb loves deflections. Patterson would be his man.

                    Can't see this happening either given his past transgressions though. Too bad.

                      I'd have to say pass on him. Even though this guy has great D, we don't need another felony waiting to happen. This guy would make our Pacemates really nervous.

                        He was let go because he was the only person they could waive and save money. The Clippers needed a point guard and with Ruban had 15 players.
                        "They could turn out to be only innocent mathematicians, I suppose," muttered Woevre's section officer, de Decker.

                        "'Only.'" Woevre was amused. "Someday you'll explain to me how that's possible. Seeing that, on the face of it, all mathematics leads, doesn't it, sooner or later, to some kind of human suffering."

                          Has a thread like this ever been posted with the answer yes?

                            No. Seems too troubled for an already troubled team.

                              I like him very much but he doesn't fit in our rotation!
