but there are very few chancey billups out there who dont work out at the first stop, but figure it out later and become a (borderline super) star.

Billups? He's not comparable at all.

Holiday, Gordon, Evans and Anderson all "worked out" very well at their first stops, they aren't trying to "figure it out." Those guys are well established in the league. Demps didn't take fliers on scrubs hoping they'd turn it around like Billups.

you can justify them all you want, but if youre expecting any of those guys to be perennial all NBA performers, youre dreaming.

We're not, so i guess we're good

jrue is a nice player, but what it comes down to is: is it a championship level team with him as the 3rd best player? i dont think so. 4th?

I'd like to find the team who's 4th best player is coming off an all star appearance. If Jrue Holiday is a championship team's 4th best player, that team's winning 70 games.

gordon is always hurt. yall can keep building around him, but deep down yall know he cant be counted on

Literally NOBODY is talking about building around Gordon.

quote:
tyreke can score the ball on a bad team. he doesnt do the little things(defense!!) to be a big time player on a legit team.

Maybe, but thats total guess work. He played for a clown franchise that switched coaches every year, with broke owners, and the most selfish roster in the league.

quote:
yes, ryno makes too much money. hes a nice piece, but build around him? no thanks...

And again...nobody's building around Ryan Anderson...

Anthony Davis, Anthony Davis, Anthony Davis, Anthony Davis. Thats who this whole thing revolves around. Those other guys are just supporting pieces.
