Larry Johnson quoted as saying "Buffalo a good fit."

[HHURRICANE]

Heard the back side of this on Sirrius.

I have to say that I'm not sure I like this. Maybe I'm being a puss but it seems that in order to win in this new CBA league you need a lot of slighlty above average players vs. just a few stars.

Larry Johnson may hand cuff us for years to come. Look at what happened to the Islanders.

I don't really care how "handcuffed" we would be. Hell, you could hog tie me as long as I can here Larry scampering into the endzone.

As great as he is we have to win fast because he is 28-29 years old.

He just turned 27

Who cares how old he is, he would fill up the Ralph 8 times for a couple of years.

he may be a little older but he's worth it, not THAT much tread on the tires besides the last 2 seasons and he would be an IDEAL fit in buffalo.

Re: Larry Johnson quoted as saying "Buffalo a good fit."

He just turned 27

even greater point!!!! I'd say he has 6 great years left in him as long as he doesn't carry the load like he did last year

Still he was born in 1979 so it still is a factor. Will he still be a beast at 30? Seems to be 30 is the point wear backs start to have there tires go flat.

He's 27!!!

I'm sure he'll want a contract more than 3 years and like I stated we will be on the hook if he starts to take a **** when he reaches 30. I love L but just looking at this team in the future and how obtaining him would help and hurt us at the sametime.

I understand your point, but sometimes you have to go against the grain. I say do what it takes to get him. I think he will provide much more to the organization in the long run than anyone can think right now.

Look at what happened to the Mets when they got Pedro Martinez. All the sudden it was the cool thing to do to join the mets. Yeah, I know it't two different sports with two different financial plans, but the point remains the same.
