Hoopshype Insight 10/25

In case some of ya'll have been wondering where I've been - I recommend you try to create those whack suits Craig wears and see how much free time you have. I did, however, have the time to think of the name for this feature, but Savant must have forgotten to mention that...

New York Knickerbockers President of Basketball Operations and Head Coach Isiah Thomas announced today that the team has signed free agent center Kelvin Cato to a contract. As per club policy, terms of the deal were not announced.

Never understimate the amount of crappy big men Isiah wants on his team. Apparently Jerome James isn't getting the job done, although that's hard to because Isiah was sold on this guy. Oh wait, this is a seven footer who averaged less than four boards and had one good playoff series - it's not a surprise at all. Thanks for the blogging material Isiah, we owe most of our success to you.

What do you think Nelson's trying to tell you by showing you Nash and Bibby tape? BARON DAVIS: For me, it's the little things to help me improve as a player.

Hate to break this to you Baron, but that's not it. The Nash footage is a subliminal message to pass the freaking ball, and the Bibby footage is trying to get you to pick up on shooting straight up instead of falling back so much. Safe to say this didn't work.

"He just hasn't made a difference," Coach Hill said referring to Chris Wilcox in what seems to be the first public acknowledgment Wilcox' play has been disappointing this off season.

Really? This is another shocker. A guy whose only good play came when he was up for a contract extension. His apathy towards basketball isn't too surprising, because he's been disappointing since he set foot in Los Angeles from Maryland. Hate to tell you this Seattle, but you've been had.
