This is a dumb trade for both teams the more I think about it. The Bulls lose one of their few shooters and add another guy who struggles with the 3 ball to go along with Wade and Rondo.

Snell just needs more opportunities.

I like the trade for the Deer because they are not paying Carter Williams.

Might as well trade him and give Snell a test run.

On a side note, Tony is giving Cassell a run for his money on the all ugly Team.

But, he's a Cali boy. So, I rep him.

Watts up!!!

If MCW can get his shit together on defense it might sure them up a bit there though.

They got another Rondo....a taller one with less court awareness.

If Kidd couldn't fix this guy, he's unfixable.

Kidd was the prototypical pass first, second and last Pg and only shoot when you have no choice.

But, he was a hell of a defender and became a decent 3 point shooter in the clutch.

Carter Williams wants to be Magic when he should be striving for Shawn Livingston.

Klay will have lots of off-night the entire regular season. Not every game will he be able to knock those threes down and that's when KD or Steph take over. I think Klay would still have a lesser PPG than both KD and Steph.

No Draymond, No Iggy.

Dray being on the court changes the dynamic because he's pretty much the primary playmaker.

He will set guys up for better shots and who leads in points will probably change every game.

No question.

Nothing will be for sure until we see them in the playoffs.

Still, I maintain that the naysayers are projecting far too much downfall for Klay.

People are just making up cause for concern where there is none.

so Heatles...

The Squealers put a foot in our asses a couple of weeks ago and you guys house 'em today...?

what's up with THAT...?:noidea:

Dolphins are fighting for the season. Before the game, we were on pace to get the number 3 pick. We'll "fight" to go 6-10 and get around the number 10 pick. But yeah, the Phins show flashes of perfect play a couple games in the season.

While it is clearly true that preseason games are meaningless, you can get a hint of how guys will work together.

Last night, Klay had more attempts and points than both Curry and KD. He is not as good as those 2, but as I have said before, his role and affect on the game will be impacted least by KD's presence. Because GS shares the ball so well, nobody will have to take a back seat in the way that Love or Bosh had to with LeBron. They will all get fewer shots, but will all be heavily involved. Preseason stats are indicative of that being true and I think this will carry over to the regular season and playoffs.

GREAT!! You just had to post this didn't ya.

The forthcoming 10,000 word novella about the pre-season is on your hands. :gaah:
