Insider article, funny quote about bonzi:
4. Bonzi Wells, Kings
Wells put together a second straight solid season -- and behaved better, too. That said, I think people got a little carried away about his playoff performance. Wells still is an inconsistent shooter and prone to turnovers, and questions about his attitude will always linger.
Additionally, if he signs a five-year deal, he'll be 34 by the end of the contract. Add it up, and I'd be skittish about giving him any more than my midlevel exception and reluctant to give him the full five years.
(By the way, if your name happens to be Joe Dumars and you're reading this, do not pair Bonzi with Rasheed Wallace. I repeat, do not do this. I know you think it will work out OK, but it won't. Putting those two together is like feeding a soon-to-be Gremlin after midnight. Trust me.)
