Notice how successful teams take chances on guys that supposedly hurt chemistry. The Bulls and Spurs both picked up Rodman. The Celtics sign Rasheed Wallace. The Lakers get Artest. The Patriots get Randy Moss. Instead of worrying about chemistry, the Yankees sign A-Rod and he plays the same position as the resident god Jeter.

But the difference is that those guys are all basically team players first, with the possible exception of ARod. If it is possible, his 20-10 is an empty number. Not to mention that he is completely useless as a defender because he puts zero effort into it. Sometimes we forget that basketball players spend an equal amount of time defending or in his case not defending. At the trade dealine there will be tons of interest in 2 Memphis players. Gasol and Gay. I'd be willing to bet that no contender will have the slightest interest in you know who.
