D. Rodman & I. Rider:, David DuPree, USA TODAY's NBA guru said, "I don't think Dennis Rodman has much of a chance of getting picked up. What can he do? He's a poor man's Ben Wallace, a very poor man, at that. He'd be a distraction and I just can't see what value he would bring to a team other than as a gimmick. Isaiah Rider is out of the league because he can't play any longer and I think he has as much chance of getting picked up as Rodman does."

Do you agree, are they physically not able to play anymore or is it more like what Rodman said about the NBA not giving him a contract to rub it in his face, to get back at him. He also said that he is good at what he does (rebouding, playing defense ). Rider said that if he gets a chance the coach is going to have to worry about him taking away the starting SG spot. Can these two guys still do what they once were very good at? Are there teams out there that really should sign them?
