Is a healthy Sean May worth a look?

[capstone21]

The kid is talented. He is a good rebounder and has a really good post game. His career has really been hampered by injuries. There was a time when he was healthy and was putting up some really nice numbers in Charlotte. If he is healthy, is he worth a look for a backup bigman?

[Admin]

No, we don't have the luxury of taking chances on injured players IMO and this kid is an injury waiting to happen. He seems like a nice guy and he has some talent but I'd rather use the 6 million that we have available under the tax to bring in guys without major question marks, especially injury questions.

If it weren't for the luxury tax then I'd say yes, but at a minimum contract though.

as a backup PF, definitely i would give him a chance.....i know he has had injuries but the past doesnt necessarily mean the future...plus as a backup, he won't have as much wear and tear...i wouldn't give him the sun and the moon but as a backukp PF i think he'd be great on a 2 or 3 year term....i read the other day he said he feels better than he has in 3 or 4 years...and he hasnt quite fullfilled his potential yet....

I was definitely referring to a very small contract. He would have to prove that he can stay healthy to earn bigger money.

Small money - I mean, really small - YES! YES! YES!

Large contract with lots of years and lots of $$$ - Nope. Not interested.

If there were such a thing as a healthy Sean May, I think he'd definitely be worth a look. I'm not sure that he'll ever play a full season though.

[DrReality]

I tnink he is too much of a risk with his history of injuries.

What he said.

[thesheedera]

He always seemed like a taller version of Lonny Baxter to me. I don't think he is suited for the NBA. Even when he was healthy his conditioning was awful and he seemed to get tired after 4-5 minutes of play.

A minimum contract wouldn't bother me, but anything above that would.

His conditioning issues and injury issues are one and the same. He's a guy that will put in the work to stay in shape, but when injured the weight piles on fast.

For the right price he's worth a shot, but it could take him a while to get into game shape. One thing's for sure: He can score in the post. Also extremely high bb iq.

healthy + Sean May = 1 helluva oxymoron

I'd just as soon give him one of our minimum level slots as Hunter, Gardner, Morris or Solo.

the instant you give sean may any money, he immediately spends it all on food, and then he gets fat, and then he gets injured.

Funny as hell and still laughing! If he ever matured he could be a great cheap addition...problem is "if" and "ever"

SeanMay = injury prone Shelden Williams.

this is from 2 weeks ago.;Looks like May has slimmed down a little.

[AHF]

For the right price, May is definitely worth a look, IMO. Just get a low price, low risk deal and don't count on him being healthy more than 40 games.

[kamillion]

in that video- he definitely looks like he's in better shape (lost weight).

[pimp]

he agreed to a 1 year deal with the Kings, over the weekend.
