re: How can people call Anderson overrated or overpaid?
Posted by BarbaricPelican on 7/6/13 at 12:36 pm
But by your debate. Aldridge wouldn't be slightly overpaid. He would be severely overpaid... And Ryno would be a great contract if Aldridge is only "slightly" overpaid, no?...

re: How can people call Anderson overrated or overpaid?
Posted by BarbaricPelican on 7/6/13 at 12:25 pm
It might not be the best comparison. But it is a good comparison money wise. And mostly look at the True Rebounding Percentage for people who say he is terrible in that area. Same goes for DRtg. Just saying people who call him terrible in those areas just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. ...
How can people call Anderson overrated or overpaid?
Posted by BarbaricPelican on 7/6/13 at 12:09 pm
I see some people calling Ryno overrated or overpaid. He has an elite skill that every team would love. Shooting threes. Is he an elite defender or rebounder? No. But he is an average defender and a decent rebounder. Here is a comparison.
LaMarcus Aldridge has a PER of 19.7, TS%=.537, eFG%=.494, ...

[quote]Starting 5 as of now: Jrue, EG, Ryno, AD, Smiht [/quote]
Ryno can't play SF. Everyone knows that. In plus, who cares about the Starting V anyway. It's all about who is on the court in crunch time which will most likely be
Jrue, EJ, 'Reke, Ryno, AD...

You also know that 'Reke will probably get PG minutes too? One of the great things having a 6th man who can play 3 positions effectively. He might get as many, if no...

No one else is worried that 5 teams including the Suns passed on what most people said would be the best player in the draft? Obviously they weren't convinced on his knee or maybe his ability... You guys are valuing draft picks too much. Everyone touts OKC. How many times has this been successful in...

re: check in if you hate the trade
Posted by BarbaricPelican on 6/27/13 at 10:05 pm
We can't hang on to cap space forever and just draft and say "okay. At least we have cap space". How many players proven and on Jrue's level really want to come here because we have some space?...

[quote]He tore his ACL, which is a pretty light injury these days. He's been checked out several times over and all said he's fine. [/quote]
Why did the Suns pass? Why did everyone pass on this "light" injury? You have to admit. That's very worrisome......

[quote]Yeah that's what I'm saying. There's no question Jrue makes us better right now. But I don't think it benefits us for the next 5-10 years, whereas having a guy this year AND a higher pick next year really could have.[/quote]
So you would rather stay stagnant and hope draft picks work out...

And that's what I stated in my comment. The 2014 hasn't played. We don't know where we would pick and we don't know how good that player will be. Not to mention ...

Just fail to understand how getting a proven commodity in Jrue over 2 unknowns would be hated. We don't know how Noel is and 2014 pick has even played yet and maybe hasn't played a college minute yet. We get a top t...

[quote]Holiday will make them better, but a lot of it depends on AD's jump to the next level. He needs to get strong, add that weight and carry them to wins in close games they lost last season. They can go to the playoffs in a sevnth or eight seed.[/quote]
Weren't we counting on AD to do that an...

I love this trade. Shows Dell wants to win now. Jrue just got an extension and is a top tier guard in the league and allstar calibre. We don't know where we will pick next year or if that player will be good. Picks aren't THAT valuable. We got an allstar for two unknown commodities! Way to go Dell!...

It would be hard to trade him for anything. I would be on board with just signing Iggy and working from there I'm not sure we can expect any big moves. And if I were to...

Wouldn't doubt it. I also heard that the Suns GM won't pass on McLemore at 5. It's all over the place. Lol. All I'm hoping for is Burke to go 2nd and shake things up. ...
