If they're better without him then trade him. The return for a young superstar like Ja would be nuts.

Who said they were better without him?

Like Barkley said, he hasn't learned how to make his teammates better. That's not the same as saying they're better without him.

Try more logic and less emotion.

What else is the meaning of posting their 20-5 record without him?

Yeah, he's a great player but more combo guard than pure PG.

He could have used that as ammunition instead of telling a top 50 all time player that was doing his job to blow him.
You just shouldn’t say that to another man you plan to have any kind of working relationship with.

Barkley will be with TNT for awhile.

Paths will inevitably cross.

Chuck is a old man now and isn’t going to be throwing any hands.

But, Ja could have gotten his point across a less disrespectful way.

Walker is looking like a smart off season pickup.
Yep.

I was wrong about him.

Can’t shoot the 3.

But, he’s much better than I gave him credit for.

Still, Rob may regret only giving him a one year deal.

Will you pay what’s necessary to keep him?

Id much rather throw that money at 2 of Trent Jr, Kuz or Josh Hart.

They aren’t better without him.

But, the other guys get more opportunities.

I’m not sure if he makes his teammates better or not.

But, his presence doesn’t hurt them….imo

He’s a scoring guard.

Way more Iverson than Nash.

But, why does that have to be a bad thing?

7 dimes a game at least shows a willingness to pass.

Up to 36% on treys which is slightly above League average (35%).

Hasn’t learned, not can’t.

Spot on.

He definitely looks for his own shot most times.

But, him being out there on the court opens things up for a guy like Bane more than anyone else on the team.

Ja’s ability to get to the rim gets Bane some great looks.

But, he could definitely do more to get guys like JJJ going.

Some games, JJJ is relegated to the JJ Redick stand in the corner and shoot 3’s role and it makes me want to pull my hair out.

Ja is more a Scorer than a shooter. But, maybe if he had a Draymond type to offset the playmaking, his style would be more acceptable, like Curry?
