Surprised Fess hasn't been picked up

[InGameStrategy]

No, no, he will play. Mark Jackson will recognize the greatness of Fesenko and his amazing +/- and give him 20+ mpg. Jackson is not Sloan and he will go ahead and put Fes on the floor.

I'll acknowledge your sarcasm and point out that such a scenario would be the opposite extreme of Sloan: Jackson giving Fesenko enough time to develop but more than he has earned.

Unless he earns it.

Which, with Biedrins being Euro-flimsy and Brown averaging 6 points per 30 minutes and 7 RB per 30 (based on a very small sample size of two games, but with FOUR STEALS vs. the Bulls), is a possibility (although Biedrins and Kwame--another "repair-my-career" player--could do well and take most of the minutes at the C spot).

I reckon that Dallas and Miami never made an offer, given that the Mavs seem to have a bigger need (with the loss of Chandler and their drubbing over the first two games) and that Miami seems like Fesenko's kind of town (lol) relative to sleepy San Jose (nice restaurants, though)).

"He was very emotional. He fired me up a little bit. He teared up a little bit, but it was great for us to see his passion and get more wins for him. I like his passion."

As much as I disliked Jackson messing up the locker room (allegedly) when he was in Utah, I'm now rooting for him to succeed (modestly).

They're paying Brown 7 mil, there is going to be pressure to play the dude. And Biedrins has actually looked pretty good if you've watched any Warriors games.

See In Game Strategy. He will provide a lot of toughness that they lack inside. Fes had a few teams to chose from. I dont think Jackson is going to play Kwame a lot simply because of his contract. It is only for one year.

For the Warriors sake I hope Browns contract is one year, damn he made out like a bandit

I think kicky just wet himself.

He just moved from there and forgot to tell his boy Fess apparently. What a short lived romance.

 

[memo is money]

There is no other explanation for this signing other than "I-Make-Money-Because I'm-Seven-Feet Tall" fact of NBA basketball.

Happy for Fesenko, though. Hopefully, he will prove he belongs to NBA but it takes "work ethic" and "desire to get better" to have a long career. I think he would be OK playing in Ukrainan or Russian leagues. Good luck, Fess.

Actually, he could very easily get time. Biedrins is constantly in foul trouble and I wouldn't be surprised if the same things goes for Brown also.
