Random NBA Observations 2013 - 2014

Dumars is going to lose his job because of those signings, they are just so bad. They'd be better off with Knight still at PG, and starting Kyle Singler at the 3, that is how awful Jennings and Smith are.

Catch 22 for Dumars, he was dammed either way really. Tryna microwave the rebuild by signing those dumb ass nikkas

If he were smart he'd try and salvage this and move both of them, the Knicks would take Jennings and the Nets would probably take Smith for expirings.

Nets would probably be the only team that would bite on Smith. It'd be a shame if they had to let Monroe go, before even knowing what he and Dre could do together. Pistons took 2 steps forward and three back all within one year.

Yeah I should have said signings, cause they really didn't trade for them. Figure of speech. In what world isn't Jennings a bad signing?

Well the pistons were weak at pg and have been weak for a while...if you could find a coach or mentor to reign Jennings in he's a talented player.

The market for smoove is low but Jennings at 4yr 32 plus million in a pg heavy league is just as immovable saving grace is he's a young player.

Josh smith for Ben Gordon's contract

Actually the pistons are stuck with these dudes but they could move moose and bring back a legit sf or Sg and that will allow smooth to play PF....most importantly smooth and Jennings need a coach who will tell smooth to stay inside and tell Jennings to pass first.

lol

That's why he's a bad signing, because they didn't have a system or coach to reign him in, in the first place. Why give they keys to a 39% chucking, inconsistent, transparent-defence having ass PG when you don't have shyt in check to make sure he doesn't follow his negative historical trend?

Right now, he's no more than a back-up PG in this league and it'll stay that way until an environment forces him to change his ways (and develop). It's like you can't expect an addict to change if all you're doing is surrounding him with more shyt to shoot up with.

Nasty confrontation between Larry Sanders, Gary Neal in Bucks locker room. Neal as he left: ``I earn my money. You should try it sometime.''

Sources tell Fox another team (not #Lakers) has offered #Cavs first-round draft pick for Dion Waiters. No further info yet.

 

[Bezerk]

had no idea Seth Curry was with the Grizzlies

 

[Hersh]

Portland or gs is my guess

 

[Poitier]

maybe a trade before another trade?

The excuse was that he had no talent around him in Milwaukee and that he would be more efficient in Detroit with more weapons around him. I've always hated his game.

He's got the game of a backup PG that provides quick offense off the bench.

Agreed. His defense and shot selection are basically Jamal Crawford-esque. That would be the perfect role for him.

The Celtics are in advanced discussions on a deal to acquire Jerryd Bayless from the Grizzlies, tweets Marc Stein of ESPN.com. The swap would involve Boston guard Courtney Lee.
Lee was a client of Grizzlies CEO Jason Levien and front office exec Stu Lash when they were agents.

 

[holidayinn21]

we better be receiving a 1st for taking on lee's contract

 

[Tunez]

If I'm building a team right now, I'm taking MCW as my starting PG....Even over Wall & Irving.


Dude's a throwback player. I see a budding, high IQ/fearless/ clutch player in the making.

With further development, I see him becoming one of those Jason Kidd/ can dominate the game without scoring a basket type players......but then, at the same time, he can score.His J is pretty decent, to


You feel his presence when he's on the court...ON BOTH ENDS OF THE FLOOR.His D is straight up obnoxious for opposing teams.


Can't say that about a lot of high profile dudes.You look at the stat sheet at the end of the night and some of these dudes will have 25 & 10 and it'll bug you out.Like I could've sworn that nikka only had about 7 pts and 2 assist.MCW is the opposite of that.His game jumps out at you like a Tiger.

He'll definitely be a top 3 pg in the next year or two.Quite possibly the #1

Fixed

Lee was a client of Grizzlies CEO Jason Levien and front office exec Stu Lash when they were agents. The guard has already seen his name on Hoops Rumors quite a bit this season as he was linked to a proposed deal that would have sent him and Brandon Bass to Houston for Omer Asik. Of course, those talks fizzled. Swapping Bayless for Lee also figures to please Grizzlies exec John Hollinger as Lee boasts a career-best PER of 15.3 this season compared to Bayless’ 11.2, his worst total since 2008/09.[/QUOTE]
at that PER. #Analytics
