What I saw was a few very good games in first round, and mostly non existent in 2nd.
Many a times he was on bench in crucial situations near the end due to poor D.
I firmly believe that deal is on...
I am not surprised Andrea is in top 5 in 1 on 1 D. As for HELP D -Prob bottom 5.
Jack & Bayless both continue to excel in coming off the bench (same as in To). Unfortunately both wanted to be starters (not so good at it). One or both will cash in on their success with good...
I agree 100%. Make a trade IFF and only iff it makes sense. At least we know what we have with Bargs -Usually a decent shooter/scorer, decent 1 on 1 defender & very poor rebounder & help defender....
Lets be fair & realistic. Curry & Thompson are IMO best 1-2 shooting combo in NBA, so it is not a surprise that Demar & Rudy come up a"a bit short" in that comparison.
THE ONLY reason Curry is making "so little" is his health issues (read ankles). This was by far his healthiest season. Realistically, 50 games a season is fairly good for him. DeRozan will likely...
Does this make sense for either team?

In this deal I would HOPE to get back our first rounder from OKC and perhaps give them an "option" to...
Actually they have a superstar. His name: Coach Thibs
I humbly disagree:
1. DD wants to be here -that is no BS
2. He was in top ten in NBA in FTA (any other non-all stars on that list?)
3. His mid range J improved a lot. What is next -3 pointer we...
I'd hate to part with JV, but lets be honest: At the best JV is a maybe (OK likely), while Love (when healthy) is a sure thing. I'd rather include JV than 2 first rounders. Also, I agree with you...
Bargnani for J Thompson & Jimmer? You never know with Kings. Heck, maybe expand above plus Ross for Evans ie Bargnani & Ross for Thompson, Jimmer & Evans (maybe we toss in a second rounder Or buy a...
Mostly good points (IMO) except:
Biedrins for Bargnani -no thanks. You might argue Bargs value is poor -agreed (BUT there is at least a chance he reverts to healthy starts last year where he was...
I agree with your assessment. WRT our "sets" being good -partially true. Most teams only play tough D in 4th Q & playoffs -Hence, our good sets (that only generate a mid-range J) now become mid-range...
-Lets see. Last year Nets finished 6th worse. They basically added JJ & tons of long term contracts. Now they are top 10-12.
-Raps finished 8th worse (or 7th). We have added Lowry, JV & Ross (2...
This might actually work. If Bargs does not "pick it up" glue his but to the bench.
He has got to have some pride/ego and work harder in which case he either helps us or becomes a genuine trade...
Intereeeeeesting. Very intereeeeeesting.
What do you lose?
Most fans feel that Jose will walk anyway.
Moot point. Ainge would not even dream of it.
Lowry for Rondo? Maybe
There are only 2 ways to unload Fields or Kleiza:
1. Take back a solid player with an awful contract (Eg Gay), or an injury prone player like Granger;
2. Package them with say either Jose or Lowry...
1. Not for a year or 2. Then who knows. Novelty, new toy no results???
2. Prokorov does not strike me as a most patient nor understanding owner. You also have a "strong willed" coach who likes D....
Not really -way over the cap.
With regards to "overspending" by Lakers, Knicks, Nets -That is only a handfull of teams because of their ridiculous cable deal. Most of the other owners (even of the...
1. You really think he can make more money as a star (probably) on a lottery team (Houston) than a KEY contributor on a championship team for many years (OKC)?
2. I was under impression players want...
Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We traded under-performing Bargnani, lousy, old Jose & no handles/he drives me crazy Kleiza for reliable Boozer....This "brilliant trade" reduced our win total by 8 games...
James Harden -IMO we have to add to Jose, Demar.
As for Rudy Gay -See what Atlanta got got Joe J. The price for an overpriced borderline all-star was set. Sure JJ makes more (annually than Gay),...
-2 Minor problems: Bargnani, DD, Jose & Ed were roughly 50 PPG last year. You would replace this with Deng & Faried (20-22 PPG). Yes I understand other players (Lowry, Val...) would pick up some of...
Perhaps I am a bit of an optimist, but lets analyse the situation:
-This is East & IMO there are only 2 teams pretty much sure thing to make playoffs -lets call them Tier1
Tier 1: Miami
