Going Bonzai is a big blowup, not just a little problem. I should have made that clearer.D-Mass said:

Mmm...not sure you want to see the sort of "bonzai" that Bonzi is prone to. As oft as not he runs that bayonet through his own team and then goes and commits hari-kari just to top things off.

I think bonzi will keep his cool this year because he wants to prove himself, we all know that hes a great player but hes been known for being a problem child in portland and memphis, so besides the occasional techical foul i think he'll be just fine.

Main Entry: ban·zaiPFFFT!! said:
Pronunciation: (")bän-'zI, 'bän-"
Function: noun
Etymology: Japanese
: a Japanese cheer or war cry
-----------------------------------------
Main Entry: bon·sai
Pronunciation: (")bOn-'sI, 'bOn-", 'bän-" also 'bän-"zI
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural bonsai
Etymology: Japanese, literally, tray planting
: a potted plant (as a tree) dwarfed and trained to an artistic shape by special methods of culture; also : the art of growing such a plant
Banzai is what I meant. Bonzai doesn't exist. And Bonsai is the tree.

In early Japanese history, culture was associated with the imperial court, and warriors were accorded low status. The samurai became important with the rise in private estates (shoen), which needed military protection. Their power increased, and when Minamoto Yoritomo became the first shogun (military ruler) of the Kamakura period (1192–1333), they became the ruling class. They came to be characterized by the ethic of bushido, which stressed discipline, stoicism, and service.PFFFT!! said:

I could only hope Bonzi Wells would go samurai, it would be quite rewarding for his team.

^^ Im guessing at ''turn into a tree'' 
on the basis that the other members of our starting 5 all too often appear rooted to the floor whenever a defensive rebound is a vague possibility.

How does it make no sense? You have your definitions of Banzai confused.VF21 said:
Is Bonzi going to turn into a tree? no, that is a bonsai.
Is Bonzi going to become a fierce warrior? no, thats a samurai
Is Bonzi going to go off the deep end, as he has before? That is the BANZAI we are talking about, now answer the question

lol, judging by your avatar Thesanityannex, if he does go crazy then he wont be the first!
From what ive read his contract is initially quite short, so it doesnt sound as though we've taken a huge risk. (hopefully)

I don't mind a few elbows being thrown by my Kings, I'm just hoping his anger and craziness can inspire his team, rather than divide.

Talk about someone missing the point...
My post was a summary of how your question was being interpreted, all because you chose to make a play on words instead of simply asking what you wanted to know.
For the record, Japanese pilots screamed "Bonzai" as they committed the ultimate warrior act, diving their planes into Allied ships during World War II. So, Bonzi going "Bonzai" could indeed mean he is going to become an ultimate warrior.
And I haven't even gotten into Buckaroo Banzai or Banzai boards.

I voted yes, but I don't think it will be a large enough "Bonzai" to cause any damage to the team. I think he can manage his emotions and work with the team while still being a bit crazy.

Bonzi is still in the league for a reason. So is Ron Artest.
