ahhhhh okay... Well I was onboard with trying to grab Jordan Crawford earlier this season and I don't think I've changed my mind. Still Jordan is such a liability in the fourth because of his awful FT %. But, maybe it would work because we could use a "stretch 4" 4th quarter rotation.
I just pray that Meyers develops enough that we can throw him in there at the end of closer games for his FT ability and not risk him playing awful defense and missing an assignment. Jordan Crawford struggled for the most player friendly coach in Doc Rivers, I don't really care much for him. When he gets hot, its great. But he shoots like 40% which isn't optimal IMO.
I posted the above in the Playoffs thread almost a week ago. To complete it, in DeAndre Jordan's last game of the Playoffs he did the following... Game 6: 5 pts, 4 rbs, 0 blks in 17 mins.
Points are irrelevant. He averaged like 4 shots a game, dude. He is not part of LAC offense, at all. So, averaging 6 rebounds and 2 blocks in 22/mins is bad? Against the best front court in the league (and Blake Griffin was injured, as well) and they tried going small to counter the front court size? I guess I just don't see the issue.
His averages were as follows: 3.67 points per game, 5.67 rebounds per game, 1.67 blocks per game, 24 minutes per game. So you are averaging up on numbers and down on minutes. I do think those are low even for the given minutes. But moreso then averages is the money that he makes which makes me look at other alternatives first. If our future Center (whoever you want to name him to be) only had those numbers people would be calling for his head.
It's possible that Neil Olshey sticks to what he said and just get's the best player available regardless of position
I believe this is what he does. No sense in overpaying for a McGee, gortat or Jordan. This team needs talent all around. get a stop gap and c and as much talent as possible elsewhere
Gortat is hardly overpaying. I think he makes only 8 mil next season. That's cheap for a starting center.
If numbers like: 15.4 pts/game, 10 rbs/game, 1.5 blks/game Don't move the needle then what does? There is only 1 Dwight Howard. Centers as whole are pretty underwhelming.
Well it depends on who's available... But from those which are free-agents; I would assume JJ Redick, Smith and Howard being the best coming out of this free agent pool.
I think Redick is a volume scorer and very efficient shooter. He definitely can create his own shot and I believe he is much better than any guards out there right now.
I agree. I wasnt just talking about salary. In his case, I was,saying I dont think id give pick 10 for gortat on a one year deal. Id rather keep the pick and grab dalembert or Jefferson while keeping the pick as alternatives
