Isn't your point just as ridiculous? What basis do you have for saying he can't shoot?specialsauce wrote:I understand you’re trying to make a point but even you have to admit that trying to make an argument based off 11 makes is completely ridiculous lol.
Thoughts on Booker?specialsauce wrote:Fair enough, I disagree. 42% from the field is not good. I like my guards in the upper 40s.
That's what I was going to say. These guys act like he's shooting 20% right now.Split T wrote:You guys do realize Jackson is shooting 35% from 3 right?
It may not be pretty, but he's fine as a shooter right now. He's shooting better than Kyrie, Eric Gordon, Love, Westbrook, Monk, Hield, kuzma, Lowry, Lillard, among others.
The only players on our team shooting better are Daniels and Booker.

Does anybody see that potential in him or I'm on an island (no pun intended) with that take
Bender has shown very good fundamentals and positioning, but he lacks the instincts that made AK47 a great player.bajanguy008 wrote:Just reposting this cause I was looking forward to feedback may it be for or againstbajanguy008 wrote: Bender is now becoming a bigger talking point on here and I know he idolized Kukoc but the way he is so solid defensively with his length and just makes smart plays on O, Kirilenko crossed my mind this morning.

Ok point taken, I just remember AK47 being a guy who never really looked for his shot but always affected the games in many ways but that instincts factor I would have to ponderFlagrant Fowl wrote:Bender has shown very good fundamentals and positioning, but he lacks the instincts that made AK47 a great player.bajanguy008 wrote:Just reposting this cause I was looking forward to feedback may it be for or againstbajanguy008 wrote: Bender is now becoming a bigger talking point on here and I know he idolized Kukoc but the way he is so solid defensively with his length and just makes smart plays on O, Kirilenko crossed my mind this morning.

Great post. I was trying to say this but you said it better. If you don't even think your team should bother getting top-12 players in the NBA because they won't stay, I don't see wha business you have running an NBA team. You should want that player, want the chance to make him stay on your team. You should want to do everything you can to make your team great so that he will stay.ShelC wrote:Sorry but the whole "glad we didn't trade for Kyrie because we don't think he'd stay" is a loser mentality. We've supposedly been collecting draft picks and acquiring assets to make a trade for a star and then we get the chance to do so but pass because we don't think he'll stay? Gotta take that chance. That's what separates the winning teams from the losing teams. Bring him in and do everything you can to build up the roster and convince him to stay. Presti asked Westbrook to trust him, that he'd make the moves necessary after Durant left; then he went out and got Paul George and Melo. Maybe McD didn't want that kind of added pressure? Maybe he'd rather keep stringing everyone along with his "timeline" so he buys himself another 2-3-4 years "building up the roster" and "collecting assets". Well we just sold Bledsoe for pennies on the dollar, Knight has no value and no one wants Chandler. Oh and here's a bold prediction: No one will want Monroe either and we'll be lucky to get a 1st for him.
Eh. It depends on the player. Kyrie already said where he wanted to play and here wasn't one of them. I wouldn't waste good assets unless I had at least an inkling that I could keep the player. Antonio McDyess ring a bell with anybody here?Marty [Mori Chu] wrote:Great post. I was trying to say this but you said it better.

Sure, easy for you to say with your unique perspective. You run around it in seconds and are back where you started.Wally_West wrote:Sorry, I want nothing to do with Kyrie being on this team.

NASA HAS A f*** 24/7 LIVE FEED OF THE EARTH YOU CAN VIEW AT ANYTIME!!!! f*** YOU, KYRIE!!
This level of stupidity physically hurts me. I just can’t with Kyrie. I’m sorry.
