Is it safe to mark that down as another trade Dell came out on the wrong side of? I was never a big fan but the kid is only 23.

No, Austin sucked here and he still sucks over there. People see Austin pull out games like these and think he's improved but he's done that here once every 30 games.
He's very capable of having a great game every blue moon but that is not who he is on a constant basis.

What did pondexter do this year exactly?
Posted on 4/30/16 at 3:19 am to gmoney504
I missed the part where he actually played because he was hurt. But did you forget the part last year where he helped tremendously?
But hey, if you want to be mesmerized by one of the fluke games he pulls out than be my guest.

I'm not saying he's a great player, but who would you rather have? At least one dude can stay on the floor.

What good is a guy staying on the floor if he is a liability in almost every facet of the game?
He's still a piss poor FT shooter, a bad 3 point shooter (with a little improvement) and just inefficient overall.

I would say wait for the next game and see him go back to being Austin but they dont have one. We've made tons of mistakes these last years but getting rid of him aint one.

His stats aren't as bad as you make them out to be. Don't act like we couldn't have used him when he had Norris Cole playing 27 minutes a game.
Posted on 4/30/16 at 3:30 am to gmoney504
Yes they are.... just watch many of his 1 for 9 performances because he has many of them.
and how are his stats not as bad as what i make them out to be? He has a large enough sample size to confirm them. Why does the choice have to be between him and Cole? Ideally we should have someone thats not crap

and for what its worth Norris Coles PER of 10.85 is not that far away from Rivers 11.15.
Posted on 4/30/16 at 3:35 am to Sauce Castieaux
Rivers
43.8 shooting percentage
33.5 from 3
11.1 PER
Cole
40.5 percent from the field
32.4 from 3
10.8 PER
The point is Rivers would have helped our team.

So you are not going to include assists/rebounds
Posted on 4/30/16 at 3:38 am to Sauce Castieaux
The results would of been exactly the same.
Posted on 4/30/16 at 3:39 am to Sauce Castieaux
You do realize we are arguing about 2 of some of the worst players in the NBA. You realize how ridiculous this is?
Posted on 4/30/16 at 3:40 am to Sauce Castieaux
Ok Nostradamus but you're missing the point. He would have improved the team.
Posted on 4/30/16 at 3:42 am to gmoney504
Cool insult bro... you keep saying that but you have absolutely nothing to base that off of. I like how you call me Nostradamus when you make an outlandish prediction.
Why did you even start this topic when you get all butthurt when someone disagreed with your poor assessment?

Those stats I just showed you? If you replace one player with another who is better, even if it's only by a small margin, the team gets better as a whole.
Posted on 4/30/16 at 3:59 am to Sauce Castieaux
Where did I get butt hurt? You said he's "a liability in every facet of the game." All I did was show you that he's better than some guys who played big minutes last season.
Posted on 4/30/16 at 4:06 am to gmoney504
Just answer this question...why is it that the only team that would take him last year is a team coached by his father?
I cant stand Cole..but you act like Rivers is by far a superior player. If anything...they are basically the same guy
