    First of all stop the Meyers-hate, he's a key player for us.
    Second, they both may be odd-looking white guys but Meyers is pure offense whereas Olynik is mostly defense

    He was never a great defender (far from it) but he's our most versatile big man on offense

    He can shoot the 3 like very few bigs and can also take it inside, is very athletic for his size and very talented, has good hands. The problem is his defense

    Huh?
    LMAO

    Thats Plumlee hands down. and thats only because everyone else is EXTREMELY one dimensional.
    Ed is a rebounding put back machine and that's it.
    Meyers is a great outside shooter and that's it.

    Plumlee often plays outsized on defense, can run a limited point, is an incredible passer (arguably the best in the league), and he has dramatically improved his picknroll offense with Dame as of late. He can dribble on the move with the ball better than half our team including Aminu, Leonard,as of two weeks ago, I would have said Harkless too, but he has shown dramatic improvement in that category.


    Come on now.....

    You just summed up why our front court is so pathetic. When a guy who can't shoot is auguably your most versatile offensive big man, you've got a problem.

    And, the thing is, our defense is about a billion times worse than our offense. When your interior offense sucks and your interior defense is even worse, you've got a BIG problem.

    Maybe we should just say fuck it and go with a 5 guard line up. Shit, we regular give up 130+ points anyway. How much worse could it get? Where's Don Nelson when you need him????

    Not nearly radical enough.

    When we signed Turner, he was supposed to be our Shaun Livingston. That hasn't worked, so make him our Draymond Green. He can be our tiny ball 5, starting next to Napier at the 1, Dame at the 2, C.J. at the 3 and Crabbe at the 4.

    Again what the fuck do we have to loose? Let that team run the other team's starters into the ground early, so they're dragging ass for the rest of the game.

    Whenever I'm playing against a good shooter, I do exactly that, I sprint baseline to baseline on every possession and never stop cutting and moving in the half court. Take away a shooters legs and you take away his shot. Fortunately, I only play in the city rec leagues. So, I don't have to worry about guys a foot taller than me dunking on me.

    LMFAO, what?

    Every time I see this clown dribble the ball, it looks like a simple swipe would lead to a turn-over. I actually cringe.

    I think a better statement would have been "he's good with assists". But even that is iffy most of the time.

    So, if we land Noel by Christmas time.....can we celebrate.......THE FIRST NOEL?

    :biglaugh::lol:

    Thank you, thank you. I thought of that all on my own.

    I posted it in a different thread, but you just know a guy named Noel isn't going to be a good fit in a city where they boo Santa.

    Very few? Shit, Lopez is shooting them... Gasol.. Randolph... If anything, his one skill is being overshadowed by better players.

    If in fact hes a key to this team, its a huge reason we suck. He is not good. Hes not a key. And he never will be.

    Oh, I'm sorry, you were taking a little swipe at the Kingspeed. If he did guarantee it, then yes, he definitely should pay us all.
