    Al Harrington is scoring 20 a game and grabbing 6 boards per. Hell, Nate Robinson is averaging 16 points per game, 4 assists per game and 4 boards per game. Putting up numbers in D'Antoni's system means squat

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    He's not going to get maxed out. That would take extreme stupidity.

    Oh, I see. He's going to be a Grizzly.

    Ummm....if you check his career, he was already getting these numbers off the bench with the same minutes for the last two years, it shows he was capable of this output before the coaching change...so using D'Antoni's system in this argument doesn't hold water.

    How the hell would Quick know? You think that KP tells him anything of substance? If he does throw him a bone, it's to throw everybody off the scent. The only info KP is giving is misinformation.

    but since he's not a max contract guy- we should be able to offer the same amount as any reasonable team.

    yeah, your right about that...he isn't a max player...so my point is irrelivent...I stand corrected...I was just pointing out the fact that the team he's with at the time, can offer more

    David Lee averaged a double double two seasons ago when D'Antoni wasn't there and he did it off the bench. He averaged 10 & 8 last year too. Also- David Lee won MVP of the rookie/soph game, right? He's a good player.

    As I said, Lee put up great numbers BEFORE D'Antoni.

    "No legs" means... what? It's not going anywhere? Or that it's entirely inaccurate?

    Based on the reports, the Blazers are interested in Lee, but the Knicks don't want to move him. That might be entirely inaccurate or it might be true but have no legs.

    Man (or woman), I second that!

    If it were up to the board Portland would have drafted Adam Morrison instead of Roy.

    not accurate. following workouts westbrook's stock skyrocketed, and bayless' dropped well before the draft. leading up most boards had bayless 6-11 and behind westbrook. who knows, but i'd guess westbrook would have been KP's first choice.

    i think most (half-way sane) people here realize that bayless hasn't had nearly the chance to develop confidence that augustin and westbrook have had.
