Cheese

According to the 31-year-old, he was walking away from a commotion outside of the 1Oak nightclub 

He has shots in the paint (61% shooting) and 3s (99% assisted). That's basicly it.

That's analytics perfection.  They hate the mid-range game.

I wouldn't be surprised if he feels a need to justify the contract and tries to do too much.

Look for him to play the similar bench “stretch 4” role in 2015-16.

so according to your source he's not a 3

 This sounds like a GREAT idea.

Didn't Chandler do well on the Knicks during the brief Linsanity era? Is he is who I am thinking of?  We play a similar style of basketball that the Knicks played under D'Antoni while Carmelo not able to sabotage the system due to being in street clothes.

Early season thabo made Pero look like Dirk Nowitzki

And then Thabo got comfortable in the system and played great. Thabo is fine. The problem is he's the only 3 on our roster.

People fell in love with his attitude, but I don't think people really watched his offensive game when he wasn't wide open for a corner 3.

He has no 1-on-1 game, so he'll forever be a role player, but there was more to him than shooting open 3's. He had a wonderful feel for our offensive system. Nobody could make the timely cut like Demarre.

Bazemore now has a true chance to come into his own similar to what DeMarre did after a year in our system.

lolwut

Demarre was pretty much the same player both seasons in Atlanta. He improved a little bit, but not dramatically. Bazemore is a bad shooter, he's out of control, and he fouls too much. Those are major fundamental problems. Maybe he'll fix them, but you are operating on blind optimism.

Tyson Chandler was washed up 3 years ago on the Knicks.

My concern is that the Spurs did us a favor and I hope they don't expect something in return later on.

Id do the same for my family.

LOL @ cloaking naked greed in family values.  No family in the world needs more than $50 million.

Let's not forget that Demarre developed sticky hands after the All-Star break.  Our chemistry suffered because of it.  My concern is that next season he will feel the need to justify this outlandish contract.

Whatever, he was a warrior and I enjoyed rooting for him.

We dam well better be getting a first round pick for taking Splitter's bad contract!

I like Splitter in part because his contract is so reasonable.

I like Jenkins better than Bazemore and Hardaway, but I've seen very little of him so I'm probably wrong.  I suspect if Jenkins got regular minutes and wasn't looking over his shoulder or deferring to teammates, he's score a ton.

Huge upgrade over Pero.

Yes!!!

At first I thought this move was decent, but then I read about Splitter's defense and now I think this is a great move.  He defends superstars one-on-one, good pest, moves his feet on pick'n'rolls, adequate rim protector.

We'll be able to start Splitter over Millsap occasionally, depending on matchups.  Our rotation might be similar to San Antonio's, with Millsap playing the Diaw role.

The measure is and will always be the bottom-line... the wins and losses, and did you improve on your post-season over what you did before?

 

That's silly.  If you're rating a GM, you'd give the Portland GM a big positive grade for picking Brandon Roy at that spot in that draft, despite the fact that it didn't work out.  He did a great job identifying talent.

We just had two consecutive talent-laden drafts for the first time in eons.  Budcox got virtually nothing out of those drafts.  I hope there is a bigger plan, like signing Hardaway gives us the cap room to sign a stud.  

I read this whole thread but didn't see anybody talking about Hardaway at Michigan State.  I watched him play at least half a dozen times.  He just wasn't very good.  He didn't show much offensive talent.  Hardly anybody looks more talented in the NBA than they did in college.  I can't think of a single example off the top of my head.  There are plenty of underachievers in college who blossom in the pros, but they always flashed their talent in college.

You mean like how dangerous it's been to have Popovich in that role over in SA?

 

I don't mean to be a jerk, but frankly, it's a little jerk-ish to me that people could presume they know better than Bud... AT LEAST wait and be critical when there's some evidence that he doesn't know what the hell he's doing... until then, it's like you're being critical just to be critical... really it is.

He has made two moves.  He dumped a good prospect (Payne) for very little in return.  He dumped a decent draft pick in a great draft in exchange for a bad player.  Both moves look amateurish on the surface.  He also didn't make any moves at the trade deadline to help put the team over the top in a season when the Eastern Conference was ripe for the picking.

So, he's 0 for 3 so far.  Until he makes a good move, it's difficult to presume he knows what he's doing.

Have Grant Hill wine and dine all of them until we sign someone.

lol, nobody cares about Grant Hill
