Why can't they just bet on him with a minimum contract hoping that he changed his mentality? You interview him, talk to him openly like an adult. Worst case scenario, you cut him loose. At best, you'll still get 20 points per game and maturity we didn't know he had.
Yeah it wasn't easy, but it's not like he did that alone. Gasol was the best offensive tall guy at the time, Bynum was a solid Center, and Odom was the 6th man of year.
