Tag Making a Comeback

Well, it looks like Ostertag is trying to come back and will be starting in the D-League. Source: ESPN Rumors

Potential missing piece?

 

[mellow]

Suddenly the Okur trade makes so much more sense.

Also, I was watching a game the other night and think that I saw Bonzi Wells. Lol wut?

 

[Joe Bagadonuts]

An Ostertag comeback? That's rich. How can you come back when you were never there?

 

[fargon_sneaky_bastage]

Ummm, didn't he attempt a "comeback" last year as well?

 

[cctrackstar]

I thought he didn't like basketball? Only played because he was tall? Looks like he's warmed up to it.

When Tag was getting paid big money for being a freak of genetics I sure wish it had occurred to him what he could become if he dedicated a little effort, both mentally and physically, to his profession. Instead he chose to tell reporters that he really didn't enjoy basketball that much and that his perfect day would be spent lying beneath a tree watching the clouds go by. It was a slap in the face to the fans and owners paying his salary and to the teammates who were giving it their all on the court every night. If he'd come anywhere close to his potential Utah would have multiple NBA championships. What irony that now that time has passed him by he's apparently discovered that basketball is worth playing even when the paychecks aren't very large.

Well, you take what you can get and since he has no other marketable skills, a small basketball income is better than nothing.

He watched the Jazz game the other night and saw Kurt Thomas and said, "Hell, I can do that!"

He watched the Jazz game the other night and saw Kurt Thomas and after putting down his bucket of fried chicken said, "Hell, I can do that!"

Indisputable fact added.

 

[One Brow]

Well, he is seven-foot-two, and not exceedingly awkward.

How old is Tag now? 68?

 

[Stifle Tower]

Nice one.

What do you mean no marketbale skills?
When I saw him in Best Buy last week, I had him get me something off the top shelf. Didn't even need one of those rolling ladders.

What did Tag do with all his money that he needs to play D-League ball?

 

[TheSilencer1313]

Sign Tag for the veteran minimum......

Maybe he's got a dozen baby mamas like Shawn Kemp.

Looks to me like his family could use the cash
