Reading these posts has reminded me of a few more. I thought Rondo would struggle in the pros because of his poor outside shooting. His shooting still sucks, but he came into a situation where he didn't have to be a good shooter. I thought Darko would end up being a good PF/C. He has the tools, maybe he caught Marvinitis.

I originally liked hiring Woodson, that one didn't last long. I liked the Marvin pick. Note to self: give more weight to intangibles when evaluating talent. I wanted Conley over Horford, even though Horford was a sure thing.

Josh is in his 7th season, and he is seemingly is Gearon's favorite player. He is not going to change, there is no reason for him to change.

Even Micheal Jordan submitted to Phil Jackson and his team philosophy. If Josh wants the glory like MJ, he better start being like MJ.

Because of the way this team is run, there are no personal consequences for Josh when he does stuff like this. Don't hold your breath waiting for Smith to change.

I think the rich man and Lazarus parable is actually referring to the resurrection of Lazarus. I think this event specifically happened to prove to the Sanhedrin that Jesus was the messiah: Luke 16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. The resurrection of Lazarus was "in the face" of the Sanhedrin, but they still failed to comprehend who Jesus was.

The writer doesn't get into Horford's significantly higher fg%, nor how good his midrange jumper is.

In the old USSR the joke among workers use to be "The government pretends to pay us, and we pretend to work". Applied to this situation, "The ASG pretends to put a competitive product on the court, and we the fans pretend to care".

The deadline is 3 PM Eastern, about 44 hours away.

To have even a glimmer of hope in the playoffs, we will have to do this if there is no trade. Whatever happens this week, If Bibby continues to pull starter minutes next week, then this season is for naught.

What's Anthony Johnson doing these days? :laughing5:

So Cleveland has a young guy who is suddenly looking like he might be a player. I don't think the price will be that cheap. On a related note, does anyone else think moving Marvin to the bench was a test to see if Josh could handle SF, ie, is Marvin the trade piece? Crawford in Cleveland makes no sense.

We have an ownership problem. It was a problem when Knight was GM, and it is a problem now.

I want to move Smith, but I think he is worth more than these guys together. Billups would be nice, but the trade price needs to reflect that he is turning 35 in Sept. Nene doesn't rebound nor bring a defensive presence, which kind of negates his offense.

Woody's offense had no "plan B" that was designed to open up when "plan A" was closed down by the opponent's defense. You have got to have a "plan B" in the playoffs because your opponent will implement a special defensive plan to shut down what you normally do. I think a lot people on this forum recognized this flaw in Woody's offense.

Nineoh, I think Rondo and Teague have similar physical strengths and weaknesses, but Rondo was a pass-first PG long before he went pro, while Teague is an athlete who tries to be a point guard. You either have the pass-first mentality or you don't, I don't think it can emerge through effort. I agree with Vol4ever's comparison with Tony Parker as the best case scenario. http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Rajon-Rondo-NBA-Draft-Scouting-Report-2798/ http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Tony-Parker-3870/ http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Jeff-Teague-5293/

I think this is a blessing, at least from a long term perspective. We are going to get to see what the core can do without JJ. This should give us some idea if we can trade JJ and continue with what we have, or if the whole team needs to be blown up.

I don't think Drew has enough authority from management to address this team's issues. Drew needs to be able to discipline his players without having management side with the players. You can replace the coach, but you will end up with the same problems.

I am starting to think that last night's game may end up being Cam Newton's collegiate finale: http://www.clarionledger.com/article/20101113/SPORTS030102/11130348/Slow+Cam+Newton+reports+irk+SEC+s+Mike+Slive This mess is rapidly snowballing, and has the potential to make the entire SEC look bad.

Bynum is a career .207 on 3s. If we acquire him, it won't be long before we are looking to get rid of him.
