re: Pels trying to trade for asik

a PG who is expensive when we could've just drafted one (MCW, Burke)

Oh noez @ spending $11m/yr on an All-Star point guard.

Yeaa 11 mil AND a first round pick..don't forget that gem.

And the point is, you didn't HAVE to do it. That's how you get yourself in this clusterf*ck with no way out. No cash. No playoffs. No draft pick in arguably one of the best draft classes EVER. Just sayin..

Okay, say we don't trade noel + pick to Philly. Noel still wouldn't be playing and we'd still be middle of the pack in this draft.

"how would you know that, we could be bottom 3 bad"

We're playing without our all star PG right now and we're middle of the pack.

ETA: and this draft class has lost A LOT of its luster since the start of the season.

no it hasnt

Dude. I doubt we select Noel if we weren't going to trade him. So right there, you're off base already. We would've selected a point guard bc that's what we were after all along whether it be by trade to get Holiday (which was to select Noel FOR Philly) or by keeping the pick and selecting either MCW or Burke.

You think Jabari is overrated? Good God.

Compared to the expectations of him being the next lebron, Yes.

He's been mediocre in ACC play as well.

Hell he isn't even the best freshman.

MCW can't shoot so we don't want him? Huh? He's 19ish years old. Oh and I thought I saw a stat where our 11 million dollar SIXTH man shoots 14% from beyond the arch...that sir, is absolutely terrible.

---

Let's see:

3.6 TOs per game(awful)
39.5 FG%(Terrible)
28.7 3P%( )
On 15.5 shots per game
DRating of 107

He's 22(barely a year younger than jrue)

Need i say more?

And not getting Drummond with the 10th pick is not a crime, it's reality. It wasn't your pick. He was picked before you. Oh well.
But now if you had some cash, you could maybe lure a native of Nola who plays center for the same team Drummond does.

You misunderstood

I said not being able to get drummond with the 10th pick was a shame(if we were able to,we wouldn't be having this conversation)

Patience.

Seems like you need some

we weren't after a PG when we had a serviceable one in GV. We pulled the trade because

a. it keeps EG from being emo
b. it was an all-star caliber PG on a trading block

Noel was the consensus #1 draft pick before his injury, you honestly don't think we still would've drafted him knowing we weren't going to be condenders in AD's year 2?

Say we pick up MCW or Burke. We still wouldn't be a bottom 3 team, we'd be the same if not better than what we are this year due to injuries.

JH is 23 years old and averages 14/8 on 45% shooting (33.5 mpg) - shoots the 3rd/4th most on the team

Burke is 21 and averages 12.5/5.5 shooting 37% (30mpg) - shoots 2nd most on his team

MCW is 22 and averages 17/6 on 40% shooting (34.5 mpg) - he also SHOOTS the most on his team

ETA: MCW is "19" hahaha funny.

ETA2: Jrue has never shot below 43%, even on a bad philly team. He's a better PG than the other two and is only 1-2 years older than them.

he had a bad few games to start off, but the past ten games he is 18/10... If those are mediocre numbers than you have very high standards.

---

With his talent he should be scoring 20+ with ease

Maybe inconsistent is better suited

Wiggins was hyped more than Parker for sure. Parker has been beasting as of late and pretty much all year. The guy is a complete basketball player who is going to be an All-Star. And thanks for MCW's rookie stats for a handful of games...28.7% from 3 is still better than our 11mil/year sixth man though.

Uh MCWs stats are for 40+ games(a solid sample size)

Then again you thought he was 19

I also don't think you quite understand about tyreke:

He's used to dominate the 2nd unit in a manu ginobili fashion. Tyreke is also having a PER of 18 this year despite his issues(which he's at times been less than 100%)

An ankle injury can definitely effect his 3 point shooting and we've had issues getting space to begin with.

But please by all means keep hoping for the collapse of the team because you can't stand some of the moves(isn't that what you chicken littles hope for?)
