[quote]Give me shooting, pace, and rim protection (even at the cost of perimeter defense) [/quote] Better perimeter defenders make rim protection easier. A good rim protector won't do well with shitty perimeter defenders. It starts on the perimeter first....

[quote] CJ was great this season because he wasn't asked to create as much, he just had to shoot.[/quote] I've been trying to make people understand this the past month or so. CJ as the #3 was able to change his shot chart and be a really great player. But when BI or Zion are out, CJ reverts ...

The thing with CJ giving up 30ppg in the two games, it's not like you can really do much to stop that, but you can at least counter it by scoring. Yeah guys like Dame and Trae have similar stats against them, but if they put up 30-40 points on their own and dish out 8-10 assists, kind of makes you...

[quote]You're getting there...becuase a player as good as the one you're trying to get goes to the team he wants, so why would he just not show up? [/quote] I didnt' say i wanted to trade for a top 10 player in the league. And did Damian Lillard say "i want to play for the Bucks"? No he didn'...

I dont know what else to tell you. No one just doesn't show up when traded. [quote]Your list was a bunch of dudes who are not #2s on a title team.[/quote] what does that have to do with anything? do you think we can only trade for guys that are #2's on title teams?...

[quote] I think what this tells me is how historically good Herb is more than anything. We have four below average defenders and still a top 10 D because of one dude.[/quote] There were two plays i remember last night where Herb seemed to be guarding 2 guys at once. He stayed with his man whi...

What a disgusting game. We can't shoot, and our defense is pathetic. We all love Jose, but it's been two bad games for him. He's got the worse +/- in both games. I can live with that though. He's not a guy I expect to be the difference maker in every game. Jose is 1-7 from 3 and 1-5 in the...

[quote]Hell, not just AD but our own team has yet another example. Jrue Not even a legit #2, and we still made sure he was traded to a contending team he'd sign off on. No chance in hell we would have sent him to a shite team even if we thought it would get a slightly better return... None, zero c...

It most certainly is how it works. It’s a trade. Not a free agent signing. Winning cures all. Was there someone willing to give up as much as the Lakers did for AD? Don’t act like that wasn’t a ton of assets we got back. ...
