    This still going? I stopped reading this thread when they took "Fuckin'" out of the title. It lost its romance.

    The new members don't know what I'm talking about.

    Crabbe,Meyers and Pat for Vučević or Cousins would be awesome.

    Wouldn't trade Crabbe for Vucevic and I doubt anyone will place any value on Pat. Crabbe + Leonard for Cousins will not be enough. Basically, I don't really want us to trade Crabbe but I'm willing to accept that it is entirely possible that we cannot have four guards/small forwards making nearly $90M a year combined, especially as Noah and Plumlee might be up for renewals soon.

    Meh - he shot well against what might be the worst defensive team in the league...and lost.
    Meanwhile, Barea grabbed as many rebounds as he did in 10 fewer minutes.

    Doesnt any trade involving Crabbe this year need to be approved by him? He could make a package tough to do depending on the situation.

    I'm sure if he's promised a starting spot he'll accept any trade. Guy is too good to be a bench guy.

    Well, it took 313 games, but I think Harrison Barnes might have been a decent draft pick...

    At this point, I think you might be able to call him a decent free agent.... but the Warriors didn't get shit out of him.

    And actually, if you look at his last five games, the dude is extremely inconsistent.

    31 against the Rockets.

    10 against the Rockets.

    14 against the Jazz.

    17 against the Blazers.

    34 against the Bucks.

    Sometimes its not the player, its they system. I'm sure Barnes has a ton of freedom he never had before.
    If a system hand ties you because it has better options, then your game has little chance of improving. I think he was stuck in GSW and never got a chance even though he was a starter.

    Barnes is making MAX money right? He has certainly been better (a lot of that due to getting many more shots) but if he is getting MAX I wouldn't say I am still thrilled at his game in and game out production at this point if I was a Mavs fan.

    He's averaging almost 21ppg on 49% shooting, as well as hitting 94% from the line so far (early though it may be).

    I mean, he's not doing anything else, but he's definitely scoring pretty efficiently.

    I haven't seen him play but if he is providing good D then that maybe enough because as you said, he isn't really filling up the box score in other areas.

    I really thought Wes would bounce back this year. He has been arguably even worse than last so far though.

    I don't really know...or care. But I agree that he needs to be doing more than scoring in order to be considered good. There are TONS of players in this league that have the ability to score 20+ PPG if given the opportunity - but a lot fewer that can put up 20+ PPG on a winning team.
