More Bill Simmons/BSPN stupidity

White Chocolate is one of those guys who couldn't be redeemed in any other situation but Miami -- he's a head case, doesn't respect his coaches, takes terrible shots and butts heads with the media ... but the old Jordan/Rodman Corollary applies here. In other words, if you have the right alpha dog in place, even the biggest head case falls into line. Shaq is probably the smartest superstar in the league -- he knows what Williams could give this team (a fast break, some dribble-and-dishes, high assist/turnover ratio, some excitement) and will probably be legally adopting him by January.
Point guard who is head case and has problems getting along with his coach - sounds a lot like Nick Van Exel. Of course, you remember how well alpha dog Shaq handled him - he forced Nick's trade to Denver.
