Is anyone planning to work out Jason Collins?

[OldSkoolball#52]

Guy's been around the block a few times.

Surely he knows a few tricks.

I wonder if a team full of inexperienced guys would bring him in to try and help change the culture?

Could you see a team going so far as to insert him into their lineup?


Just seems like a guy who would be great in the locker room.

Think he'll get any looks?

He's probably done. Not like he was any good before he came out.

Collins is a straight up scrub, he has no business in the NBA anymore. Give the younger guys a shot.

Do you think that as a guy who knows the ins and outs it would be possible for his attitude and habits to rub off on some of the younger guys?

He seems like a team guy, Im sure he'd be willing to spend time with the young guys on the team and show them some things theyve probably never been exposed to.

Hey, hey, this is one of those subliminal corruption things.

Well he's very experienced and would probably be great as a locker room presence. He could mentor some of the younger guys. Help them with techniques and body strengthening. He could visit the young guys after the games and they can review film together. In that case hire him on the coaching staff.

Read that Brooklyn plans on picking him up later in the season. They need to do it quick or else other teams gonna try jerking him around.

He just wants to help a team win a championship. He's not trying to get any attention and extend his dead NBA career any longer.

[DCL]

what has he done in the nba besides come out of the closet?

...seriously? That was his point the entire time. The first post is fraught with innuendo, as are his others.

[ZHAKIDD532]

The sad part is people are going to construe this as homophobic. But the truth is a 34 year old big man who has no visible offensive skill. There's a very high chance that he wouldn't be signed if he hadn't come out.

People had connected him to Brooklyn, and he does have lots of connections to that team (Kidd, Frank, KG, Pierce), but the fact is they're already really deep at both PF and C. It wouldn't make sense to sign a guy like that.

[SpanishACB]

random thought: is the OP Jason Collins himself?

Would be pretty fitting, and sad.

[pegasus]

Great job, OP!:applause: Can't tell if it was hand or oral, but great nonetheless.

I like how these are all subtle gay jokes. Very good sir.

[Chicago Brawls]

He's not being worked out because he can't stop penetration.

However, Jason Collins is a fabulous teammate.

A veteran big guy that likes to bang downlow.

[LosBulls]

He sucks



dick

[PejaNowitzki]

The only reason anyone brings up his name is because he came out of the closet, without that he'd be just another over the hill scrub that nobody talks about. Dude still manages to sound pretty ****ing salty and entitled, if I was a cynic, I'd say his coming out was timed to create political pressure to keep him on a roster, it was pretty clear last season that this dude was done. 1 point per game, serious?

The question Collins has to ponder is why he has not been signed as a free agent. Is it because he is at best a marginal player with modest career statistics (3.6 points and 3.8 rebounds a game) nearing the end of his career, one who would cost more than a younger player based on the league’s collectively bargained pay scale? Or is there something more sinister at work related to the new role he would play?

Collins did not dismiss the latter notion or address it.

“You don’t want to speculate — I don’t go there,” he said while picking at a bowl of greens in a cafe in the Brentwood section of Los Angeles, near where he lives. But while conceding he would be at the lower end of a team’s depth chart at this stage of his career, he admitted being perplexed because, he said, “I feel there are players in the league right now that, quite frankly, I’m better than.”





Several league executives said the number of teams interested in Collins had shrunk because of new penalties for teams exceeding the luxury tax threshold.

Brooklyn was thought to be a potential landing site because Collins spent roughly half his career with the Nets when they played in New Jersey, where he was a trusted teammate of Jason Kidd, now the team’s coach. But with the Nets’ soaring payroll, Collins would have cost the team almost four times his salary in taxes.

Collins acknowledged that signing younger players would be more prudent financially, but he asked how experience could be discounted in such a competitive sport.

“In my mind it shouldn’t be about that,” he said, referring to minimizing costs. “The N.B.A. is for the best players, not for the most affordable players. There isn’t a professional athlete that doesn’t want to play 12, 13 years. What I did when I was younger was look up to the guys like Dikembe Mutombo and Alonzo Mourning who played over a decade. What did they do to last that long? A lot of it is keeping your body in shape, keeping your mind sharp, staying hungry. You should always want guys around like that to set that example, in my mind.”



:oldlol: :oldlol: :oldlol: , this dude trying to compare himself to Mourning and Mutombo.

Now that Collins has come out in the open, the players of the league have ensured their asshole is closed.

[tomtucker]

He blows.......i am sure that if he plays, we will see lots of nasty facials
