Tinsley in Miami just smells like trouble to me. I think he would have to much fun on South Beach.

The Sixers are talking about 6-3 Jamaal Tinsley, who was released by Indiana on Wednesday after the sides agreed on a buyout. The Pacers sat the seven-year vet for the 2008-09 season because of disciplinary issues. He was connected with three late-night conflicts in a 14-month span.

My whole take on this is just how many more NBA cities are out there that have fewer opportunities for pro players to get into trouble than Indianapolis? Maybe Salt Lake City? That's gotta be it.

In many ways, Jamaal Tinsley is what the Heat is trying to distance itself from, a player who hardly has shown that basketball is a passion or priority. On the other hand, if Tinsley is willing to play on a one-year contract at the minimum, the Heat certainly could offer an opportunity to re-establish himself before 2010 free agency

The Indiana Pacers saved money but still will feel the impact of Jamaal Tinsley for the next two seasons. Tinsley's $10.7 million buyout will account for roughly $5.1 million of the Pacers' salary cap next season and about $5.6 million in the 2010-11 season.

Knicks president Donnie Walsh said he will meet with free agent PG Jamaal Tinsley "sometime next week."

The Knicks would be a perfect fit for Tinsley. I really think he would get his act together to play for his hometown team. He knows this is his last chance in the NBA.

How is Fizer a "Thug?" Better yet, why are you ripping on two of Iowa State's best players? Just asking....

Agreed. I don't see them as thugs anyway. Jamaal was the one being shot at in his worst incident, not the other way around. One could certainly say he was the clear cut victim there. Fizer had a gun in his vehicle but it's not like he's been arrested tons of times or has been involved with shady dealings. He wasn't the best locker room guy in the league but that doesn't make him a thug. Lots of people have conflicts at work.

I'm thankful both played basketball at Iowa State. They gave me plenty of good times.

The Knicks will meet with free agent point guard Jamaal Tinsley, according to a source. Tinsley, banished by the Indiana Pacers last season for disciplinary reasons - he recently reached a settlement with the team - is scheduled to meet with president Donnie Walsh and [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]coach[/COLOR][/COLOR] Mike D'Antoni at some point this week

I agree 100%. I'm also definitely glad they played at Iowa State!! The 2000 season was magical!

It would be cool to see Tinsley playing uptempo style. You can totally see him doing coolest dribbling skills!
