He is not ready to play at the level he should hence he was rushed back as he needs more time to heal and get better.
you obviously dont watch the games or understand the situation. Its mental, his knee is fully healed. SlyPokerDog. he himself has said that he is weary to attempt to finish at the rim because of his knee. Even with that i'd take him over ridnour any and every day. And you think we are pushing him back, yet he is still on a minute restriction and adelman/porter have been slow to push his minutes far from 20. He has been allowed to go 24. SlyPokerDog
Rushing him back doesn't mean you would play him heavy minutes. He hasn't show he deserves heavy minutes yet.
I think considering you came here under a nickname that was meant to trick us into thinking you were a Blazers fan (which fooled no one), and are part of a group of fans who came here mostly because of a signing over the summer that we said wasn't going to happen, that you might not want to start throwing stones at the "expertness" of a fanbase.
Some fans were like that, not all. The butthurt is so strong. Losing out on Batum, who's playing great, and the team heading for the lotto -- the countdown is on for Love to bolt. The Wolves WILL get Hibbert'd with Pek this summer. I smell a total rebuild for the Wolves. I have to give props to Rubio -- he vastly improved his shooting and is now shooting a blistering 21% (<---I'm not being sarcastic)
to look back and think: Kahn had the #5 and #6 and #19 pick in the draft. He selected Rubio, Flynn and Lawson. He traded away Lawson for the pick that became Babbitt, who became Webster. Do you think the franchise would've been better with, say, Rubio, Steph Curry and Taj Gibson? Or Curry, Jennings and DeJuan Blair? Ouch
the poor guy has a negative offensive win share this season, and a negative win share in general. he is shooting 22%. he is averaging almost 5 TO per/36. he is luke ridnours backup. his rebound percentage is way down. he is having back spasms, and mental issues regarding his shredded and reconstructed knee. oh yeah and 19-2
at least the busts we draft are legally eligible to be drafted. Not 26 y/o guys from the Qatari league.
seriously, jason williams (white chocolate) is a great comp bad PERs high assist percentages, poor shooting, flashy passes he finally figured it out around 27 years old, cut his turnovers down, and was an above average player for a few years
yeah, the Blazers haven't exactly been stellar drafters the last 6 or so years. While they traded for the pick that got them Brandon Roy and Lillard, they traded for LaMarcus and Nic Batum. However, I think Nic Batum, LaMarcus and Lillard is a btter core to build off of than any 3 that the Wolves drafted. Although, potentially, Love/Pek/Rubio could be fun. But so far they've kind of been a disappointment .Much like Brandon/Greg/LaMarcus.
...and he sure as shit can't shoot on his own. Basically, he needs great offensive players around him to look like a good PG.
Yes, I'm ripping you for trading into a pick of someone who isn't eligible. Not that Kahn couldn't have just sat in his chair for 20 more minutes, then said "call up the 26 y.o Qatari League kid and offer him rookie minimum." I don't think the other 29 teams were scrambling for his rights, and it's not like you just had a bogus pick left over that you wanted to piss away
