As for number 2 I don’t think his play was ever erratic or inconsistent, just his behavior. This tells me he has the skills to play at a high level medicated or not. He’s wasnt going out there winning on pure emotion or instinct. He has smarts , a good understanding of the game, and other skill sets so I think he would be just fine. It would be different if he had moments when he were stellar and others that were awesful but I don’t think he had that problem. Either way his problem was behavior while a symptom of bipolar needed to be addressed with or without medication. While medicine may help in that regard he’s still going to have to change his behavior. |

I’m not 100% convinced the bipolar thing isn’t a rouse by his agent made to try and make an excuse for his behavior. There are plenty of bipolar people who don’t have behavior problems. When they do it’s usually a result of self medicating with alcohol or drugs. Then again he could simply be a spoiled douche bag. In any case I hope he does what he has to do to get his **** together because he could be great if he would. It would be nice to get him cheap on a 1-2 year deal with later options. I’d take a chance. If he continues to be an ass no harm done, we won’t need him for another couple years anyway. |
