I assume they are hoping to strike gold with Jackson the same way they did with another Cavs castoff, Kapono. Jackson had a ton of potential, but injuries have always plagued him. I don't see any reason why he can't come in and make 40% of his 5-6 three-point attempts a game.

Man I feel bad for Penny... at one point he looked like he was going to be the next Jordan. I lived in Orlando and used to watch Shaq and him dominate.

Penny actually had some good moments this season. How do the Heat waive him over Joel Anthony or whatever his name is? Keeping a sixth string center isn't a priority for most teams . . .
