I was a big fan of EG10 up until a few weeks ago when I started to notice something about his game, he is a plague. He doesn't make anyone around him better and he is actually hurting the growth of Tyreke Evans and Jrue Holiday when he is playing.

I thought this was going to be his year to bounce back and show the world he can play with other guys but he can't. He is the Kobe Bryant of this team with less talent.

He has got to go. Send him to Brooklyn.

not that i'm arguing against him going, but do you have any numbers to back up the claim that

he had a really shitty game the other night coming back from injury, but so do most players. i'm hoping to see something better from him tonight.

he's not having an awful season. i wish he would pass to the open man more, but i feel like he's that kid on the playground who doesn't get the ball much so when he does he feels the need to hog it. though that may be a chicken or the egg thing.

This isn't really fair. Kobe is a 2 way player and a lockdown defender when he's asked to be. I haven't seen that defensive desire from EG10 since he's been here.

If EG10 could play with the defensive effort I know he's capable of, he'd make up for half his salary on that end alone. He just simply doesn't seem to take that aspect of the game seriously.

Unless Brooklyn is willing to send us an injured Lopez, they don't have shite we want.

If we're looking to purely cash out and have money for the upcoming offseason, we could send him to Orlando for Hedo, who would then get bought out.

If we're looking for actual value, we may be waiting a while.

Most teams which would want him don't have assets and most teams which have assets don't want him for various reasons, such as better players at the 2 or they're riggin' for Wiggins.

I had a dream one night a few weeks back. The Pels traded EG and moved TE to the 2 and signed Lebron. It was awesom we wrecked shat then I woke up.
