Is there any veteran in the playoffs worse than...

[Yuma]

Olawakandi right now!! That guy has really hurt his team with his play. He comes in, turns the ball over, silly fouls, airballs, etc. This guy is clearly playing well under his potential!! I am SOOO glad the Suns did not get this guy. Anyone seen the Twolves/Sacramento series and notice how horible this guy is playing right now!! Good he is playing the worst of any veteran right now in the playoffs!

I've never been a fan of Olawakandi. He is the Benoit Benjamin/Joe Barry Carroll of his generation. He will have some fantastic games but follow up with some truly pathetic performances.

The irony is that the Wolves had an acceptable center a year ago in Radoslav Nesterovic and lost him through free agency. For Wolve fans, the most frustrating part is that he did not get much more money from San Antonio: $5.6 million compared to $4.9 million to Olawakandi.

Also, Nesterovic developed into a pretty good defender. The irony is that Nesterovic left primarily because he did not get along with KG. KG didn't think he played hard enough.

Ervin Johnson is getting time ahead of him right now.

Man I wish I was a foot taller and 100lbs heavier, then I could make millions or dollars with no effort or talent at all.

Maybe Olowokandi can guard Parker and run the triangle better than a certain somebody...
