"If you are not a prima donna than I guess you would attend every meeting on time," Rautins told The Fan. "You would participate in everything with your team. You'd eat with your team, you’d associate with your team if you weren't a prima donna."

You can look at it either way.

No mistakes in the tango, darling. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....

Just not sure if we want to add someone like that to the locker room.

And here is

Dalembert’s side of the story.

I must admit I never read Dalembert’s side of the story (not to this length and depth, anyway. Most newspaper articles on his reaction to his dismissal were very short, sometimes reduced to one or two-liners.

Then again (flip flopping seems to be the in-thing with me), lots of NBA players have the it’s-not-my-fault-I-was-doing-good attitude that reeks of self importance.

So i call this a wash. I’m not for the trade because I like Okafor better.

I can't say that I'm a fan of the Dalembert trade

For his salary I’d want a player with a more balanced set of skills. I offered this up because it’s always interesting to hear both sides of the story and attempt to triangulate from there.

As far as a comparison between Dalembert and Okafor goes I would prefer Okafor for the reasons given above.
