Ruben Patterson, Is He Worth The PR Flack?

[mark at 10thumbs.org]

Any legal scholars on the list?

What does "plead guilty to attempted rape" mean?  He was going to but
missed or forgot?

Like i said Patterson's a much better player than Pollard --- though i
think your vastly underestimating what Pollard has left -- but i don't
want him here.

It's moot b/c I think theres about as much chance of Ruben Patterson
walking through that door as Josip Sessar.

--------
Actually, Patterson pleaded guilty to attempted rape.
But I'd still take him over Scot Pollard, who is
completely washed up.  There was a time when he was
useful, but that was when he was playing for Indiana
and Sacramento.  He's did shit in Cleveland.  And
that's what he'll do here.
