    Hey at least he showed up for practice, something he didn't always do in Houston.

    The head coach must have looked like a homeless guy.

    Can't resist. :p

    Wow, T-Jones is stupid. If he only had some basketball IQ, and IQ in general, he could have been a solid NBA player.

    Because he is lazy

    All the talent, but bad work ethic- consistent at giving very little effort more often then trying hard

    Plus his BBall IQ is just slightly better than Stromile Swifts, which isn't saying much. You don't want your IQ compared to having any similarity to Stromile Swifts in anyway shape or form.

    Dude had the talent and physique to be a great player, lack of heart and brain ruined his career though.

    All he needed was a 3 pointer and he would have been wonderful for us, a jumper for him would have been the difference between being a poor mans Stormile Swift or J Smoov and Serge Ibaka, or at the least a Tobias Harris.

    I disagree

    EVen with those things, it was a work ethic problem. When he tried, he was a really good player, he actually was a great player even with the low IQ- when he tried he was a great player. He just didn't try often enough, he liked to go into 'daydream' mode on the court, it's like he wasn't even mentally there, just coasting back and forth, thinking of what he wanted to do later after the game as he ran back and forth.

    He would try just enough at times, give a glimpse of the product he can offer from his effort, where teams wanted to 'bet' on him.. that the work ethic can develop..that potential

    But ultimately it's realized that-that kind of player is terrible for a team, and a bad influence to a team environment. That is exactly why he isn't in the NBA anymore.

    Believe it or not, I played in the same soccer team as Maciej Lampe in Sweden when we were like 8-10. He was the goalie and cried every time someone scored on him. Fun times!
