gave prime lebron 20/10 in the playoffs before he was old enough to drink and you can't take that from me :wow:

its history either way, everyone focuses on his shot like its what held the team back and not the fact Kemba and Gerald Henderson were bums on both ends. MKG is the only reason a team with Kemba, Al Jefferson, Sessions, and Josh McRoberts playing serious minutes was a top 5 defense.

Charlotte was/is incompetent when it comes to young talent, so it was the worst situation for him :hubie:

Young me was convinced Raymond Felton was every bit as good as CP and Deron :mjcry:

It's wild to me how Jevon Carter has suddenly got starters minutes on a contender this season. He spent four years in college, was passed around from team to team after being drafted, and only now entering his late-20s he's getting the opportunity to play nearly 30 minutes a game, all on a team that has title aspirations.

It makes you think just how many players fall by the wayside because they're not in the right situation at the right time.
I thought he would play like this in Brooklyn. Been a fan of his.

Felton was high key carried by McCants and May and I'll die on that hill.

And Larry Brown era shyt aside, I really don't even blame the development like that. Guys need to be cut loose sooner if anything and these "wow what a great guy" contracts stay fukking up the books too. Imagine if Zeller got traded back when people still thought he was white LMA?

I can't even say the development with Borrego or Cliff was bad looking back now. Needed a better GM more than anything. Mitch aite he just keeps drafting convicts. Right now he's gotta make another business decision and stack these Ls.

Why is mark williams in the g league

I never get why crappy teams still give minutes to old vets

mason plumlee is 32. I'm pretty sure if you gave mark williams 28mpg like plumlee you'd get the same 9 points 8 boards at BARE MINIMUM

Cliff said he soft so he soft :manny: Probably got more to do with Nick than Mason. If anyone needs to be freed, its Kai tbh. Thor ain't it and PJ wanted 20 million a year.

Wherever nikkas need to be told on
Brehs, who was the guy who was posting that MPJ was better than Jokic and should be the man for the Nuggets? :scusthov:

With Jokic out against the Knicks last night MPJ was 1-8 from the field (1-6 from three) with only five points in 28 minutes of action. :scusthov:

I still believe in his talent and know he can go off at times but I just don’t know if he can be THAT guy

He'll never be that guy. Handle is atrocious, can't post up, zero defense, no playmaking.
