Around the League: Playoffs
Re: Around the League: Playoffs
I was thinking he's a homeless man's Rashard Lewis. He reminds me of Earl Clark a bit. These tall slender guys with T-Rex arms who are versatile but never quite seem to be excellent at any one thing.
Re: Around the League: Playoffs
He's a decent shooter. I haven't seen him do much of anything else. Doesn't seem to be much of a rebounder.

In his first year with the Warriors he seemed better than he is today. .Superbone wrote:He's a decent shooter. I haven't seen him do much of anything else. Doesn't seem to be much of a rebounder.

Re: Around the League: Playoffs
I actually think Barnes would look nice on the Suns, he's definitely better than Tucker or Warren. He plays D and can hit 3's and is good enough off the dribble that you can't hide a poor defender on him. He's not a #1 or #2 or probably even a #3 but he's solid and still young. I'd love to have him, just not at 4/80 or anywhere near what he's going to get.

Re: Around the League: Playoffs
That is awful for his family.
What the hell is he doing? That is one of the best ways to get shot.

Just a quick comparison between Barnes' 2nd year and TJ's 2nd year. A good talking point if someone is saying you should max Barnes while we still have TJ for 2 more years under a rookie deal.

Re: Around the League: Playoffs
Wow, that's nuts. It sounds like he was an A-hole, returning to his ex-girlfriend's apartment and trying to break and enter. But I am not a fan of gun violence and I don't think he deserved to die for it. Very tragic.
Re: RE: Re: Around the League: Playoffs
Thanks for that bit of perspective. I really like TJ, and would like to see another season from him before giving up on him for a guy who isn't a star. TJ is the kind of guy who doesn't need plays run for him to score. He can score in traffic and off broken plays, and I value that.carey wrote:JustWinBaby wrote: In his first year with the Warriors he seemed better than he is today. .

Re: RE: Re: Around the League: Playoffs
Agreed. I think his floor is a a quality 6th man who can come in and get cheap buckets without too much fuss like ceballos. I really wish he would be given a stretch of big minute games. Coaches love affair with tucker seems to be hurting his development. Just wondering how many times have we been to the playoffs with pj?... There was a game against okc this year where the offense was run through booker and TJ. They would essentially just run pnr and take what the defense gave them and make the pass when it was there. Our offense looked functional for a change and we almost knocked off a top team with our young guys. I would never wish this on anyone but a tucker injury may be huge for our player development. I just don't have faith that coaches won't stop riding him for the good example they say he sets. But to what endO_Gardino wrote:Thanks for that bit of perspective.

Re: Around the League: Playoffs
The real bummer with TJ is his injury this year which came at the worst possible time for him. I have no doubt he'd play and play a lot otherwise.
Re: Around the League: Playoffs
Yeah, he was injured for most of Watson's take over. I have no doubt he would have gotten some decent minutes under Watson.

Not busting your balls on Watson but it will be interesting to see who he plays when he has a full roster.Superbone wrote:Yeah, he was injured for most of Watson's take over. I have no doubt he would have gotten some decent minutes under Watson.
I do not know if I can take another year of Tucker in the starting lineup.
I do not know if I can watch another year of Knight turning it over and chucking up bad shots, while still getting his minutes.
I do not know if I can watch another year of Bledsoe half assing his way through any games, while still getting his minutes.
My hope is that Watson cleans some of this stuff up. If he does I am all in.
That said, Warren should earn his minutes as well.

Re: Around the League: Playoffs
In case you're curious I did a season comparison between Teague and Knight last year. The rumor is that Noel may be moved for Teague. I went in thinking Teague is the better player. It's actually a bit closer than you'd expect and Knight is 3 years younger and locked in for 4 more years. Teague makes significantly less next year ($8M) but will be due for a very large raise as a 28-year-old in the Summer of '17.

Re: RE: Re: Around the League: Playoffs
Monty was awful. He had to go. Davis would routinely go the entire last 5 minutes of games without touching the ball. It was ridiculous. Sadly, Gentry hasn't performed as I thought he would. I'm not sure how the 2 are connected though. Demps has made crap move after crap move.INFORMER wrote:You were in a huge rush to get Monty Williams out the door, and that certainly didn't help things one bit.carey wrote: I can't believe they haven't fired Demps.
