He's the forgotten PG out there. It's not like he's not talented either - he's one of only three active players to have achieved a "five by five". I've never understood what he's supposed to have done wrong, but apparently he's "working out in Atlanta and in great shape". I'm sure KP would never do it because of "character" issues - plus the fact that he's not a shooter - but he's a gifted passer and an all-round talent. And look at this face - could he really be that bad?
Okay, but given recent history, you've got to love Tinsley for [video=youtube;tj7tpMoWrEo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj7tpMoWrEo[/video]
Talking of flakey-but-talented native New York headcases, are you enjoying Ron Artest yet? And how are the Lamar Odom talks going?
I get why Marbury is a cancer. Every team he goes to goes down the toilet. But seriously, what did Tinsley DO? I know he's been kicked out of Indiana, but I'd really like to know why.
...he is much better than any current PG the Blazers have, and/or any free agent PG that is available
See: Dennis Rodman Well Ron hasnt done anything really that bad since the brawl, was on awesome behavior last year, and good luck trying to score from the outside with Ron and Kobe out there....As for Lamar there is a thread in the Lakers section rumoring that he accepted a 4/36 deal today. Ron and Odom played growing up together. Ron loves Kobe. Kobe loves Rons desire. Phils back....good times
Ron Artest knows how to play basketball "rough". [video=youtube;Z3_xmYLBnnA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3_xmYLBnnA[/video]
Oh you mean the year Phil and the Lakers won a 'ship with him on the team?....yeah, that backfired obviously See: Artest is far superior to Rider and Tinsley in talent
How is that relevant? I said that Phil Jackson wasn't able to get through to Rider, so the idea that he can "fix" anyone is clearly not true. Those Lakers weren't counting on Rider, so it didn't matter. These Lakers will be counting on Artest, so it does matter.
I actually think Phil Jax is a fantastic coach. But Isiah Rider didn't seem to agree with me about "Phillip."
