musta got SERIOUSLY tea-bagged...

They need a Ridick type player in the worst way.

They should probably see if a guy like Ingles is available.

Now that they have Bogdonovic, Ingles is coming in off the bench.

As much as I hate to do this gotta give that puke from dook credit. He's had a long career. Didn't see that happening.

[Wamu]

I did

Coming out of college I didn't think he was fast enough for the NBA. I was wrong.

 

[msgkings322]

When did he unblock me is more curious to me.

He got bored talking to himself and unblocked us all. Not surprising given how well the Bucks are playing.

Clearly you didn't read my entire post.

If you had any integrity at all, market should not matter. Anyone with half a brain knows that the Nets were actually dead last in attendance last season. Kyrie and KD chose them over certain other teams because of what Sean Marks had begun to build.

Your market emphasis really is a tired act. Organization quality is what matters, plus the stuff that actually happen on the court.

A bad organization in a good market isn’t getting anybody.

But if you think the Brooklyn market had nothing to do with Kyrie and KD making those decisions then I have some ocean front property in West Virginia you might be interested in.

Rondo knows not to say anything bad about LeBron. If he does he'd get traded to Cleveland.

Shhhh!

Don’t tell him!

 

[Heatles84]

Think it's obvious that you can add Ray Allen to that list as well. Basically just KG and Pierce who hate on Lebron. Which those two should just man up and make out already given that I've started an office pool.

It also kind of helped that the Knicks and Nets were practically the only two teams to have the cap space to sign them both. Even as bad as the Knicks have been, you can't deny they would have been more marketable...

Love has shown he can post elite numbers on bad teams.

That is NOT an elite player. Sorry.

I don’t want any part of either as my best player. Give me 2016 Draymond all day over 2016 Love on a good one.

And yes, it is crazy to take Love over Klay. It just isn’t that close. Only the Cleveland homers would consider that. And you so badly minimize Klay’s role. He is more than just a shooter offensively.

Love was elite on Minnesota. No denying it. Was still a star on the Cavs. Green has never been elite and is a JAG on a bad team.

Green did outplay Love in the 2016 Finals. Love outplayed him next 2. He's better.

Klay is an elite shooter and very good defender. Not much else. Think he can be that guy as the focal point of the opposing defense? we don't know. Know why? He's never had to be.

You and I have very different definitions of elite then.

Elite players make the playoffs.

And Klay is a fantastic scorer. Not merely a “shooter”. He scores at all 3 levels.

And yes. We have seen Klay win playoff games as the focal point of his team. We have also seen him average over 20 a game on a team where he was playing with 2 top 5 players and was also the primary perimeter defender.

And no, it isn’t easy to score that much as a 3rd option. Kevin Love never could.

Is this your way of admitting you were wrong?

Because they would not have both signed in say... Indiana.

Even if they had cap space and a proven strong organization.

And while the Knicks and Nets were 2 of few with the space to sign both, lets not act like there weren’t multiple other teams that could have cleared that space in trades. You know, like the Clippers did.

I see.....so for the most part Davis was not elite in NO? And Love never had anyone on the level of Boogie or even Holiday as a teammate in Minnesota that I can recall. Getting that team to even 40 wins was an accomplishment.

Before you twist and spin like you usually do, I do think Davis is elite. But by your "logic" he has spent most years in NO below an elite level. Own your foolish comment.

Nope. Love never got quite that much, but was not far below Klay in ppg....and was and always has been an elite rebounder.

Davis won a playoff series in NOLA.

Full stop.

which was why I said "for the most part" He actually made it 2 times, sport. But not elite in all those other seasons? Never mind Love in Minny didn't play with guys on the level of Cousins and Holiday.

you - "elite players make the playoffs"

AD only elite in 2 seasons of 7 in NO. Cannot wait for your spin on that one.

and of course we ignore Love is an elite rebounder, right?
