He's having some setbacks. But, fighting the good fight.
Mecca - tell my boy drunk Eli aka Pete he needs to get better so he can get back into shape and wear his day-glo speedos...

Sucker some team into giving younger players/assets for Z-Bo.

Mike Conly is really good, despite the pedestrian numbers so far.

Dude is gonna get paid this Summer.

And the team that does that is going to regret it. He is what he's always been - A middle-of-the-pack PG that can't compete with the elite, and he's already 28.

At this point, Jimmer Freddette would be a godsend.... Lol

They should give Minny a call about Kevin Martin.

Martin would sure be an upgrade over Jeff Green at this point. Guy played the best ball of his career the first half of last season with Boston but then looked lost in Memphis' grind-it-out style.

Disagree. He's better than his #'s indicate. If he played on a team that played more uptempo he'd be putting up elite or close to elite #'s.

Didn't know he was out. Hope he's OK (but misses the game tomorrow night for our sake)
Strained achilles, will miss tomorrow at least and possibly more. They played well in the 2nd half against the Clippers without him and even the first quarter tonight, but then it went to shit. It's hard to expect them to win any games without him even with the improved depth.

Yup, obviously not the same team without him. Dude's a problem. WCS is looking promising though.

WCS has been very active on defense and hustling for loose balls which I expected, the offense he's gotten has been a bonus. He won't be winning ROY because he doesn't score enough, but as long as he finishes lob dunks and blocks shots I'll be happy.

Hmmmm, I don't see him as middle of the pack.

I see him more along the lines of underrated.

Solid. But, not spectacular.

Just because a player doesn't do more, stat wise, doesn't mean he can't.

He is a team player who plays within a system that is focused on getting the bigs off.

Do I think he can put up Curry/ Westbrook/ Paul/ Kyrie scoring numbers?

Probably not.

But, I also don't believe there are 14 pg's that are currently better than him.

He is easily top 10.

Top to bottom, best of point guard corps rich with talent

I know he is an albatross on defense.

But, Kevin can get buckets.

So, I'm not sure why Teams who need an additional scorer or not beating down the Wolves door.

Unless.....the asking price is to high?

Green is playing Sf, right?
