Well, you can say one thing for Kwame Brown. No matter what he goes through, no matter how low he sinks, he's always got a plucky attitude. The Detroit News today has a story on Kwame officially signing with the Pistons, and he had some interesting words about his move back to the Eastern Conference.
"I am happy to be back in the East where I can use my size and defensive prowess more to my advantage than I could out West. I am excited by the way the team has embraced me. This is a class organization."Oh, really, Kwame? Really? You're glad to be back East again? I don't know if you've been paying attention, what with all the cakes around and everything, but the East now boasts Dwight Howard, Kevin Garnett, Elton Brand and Samuel Dalembert, Chris Bosh, Andrew Bogut, Emeka Okafor, Antawn Jamison and Brendan Haywood, and Al Horford. And those are just the above average big men that are universally considered better than Brown. We're not even going to touch the mediocre, sub-mediocre, and lowball players who haven't had this happen to them.
Look, I'm as much for redemption stories as anybody else, but coming in talking about how you're excited to play in the same conference as the defending champions who feature an absolutely devastating frontcourt? Not so good.
But hey, like the Hold Steady says, we gotta stay positive.
