    He shot 34% for his career from 3. 41ish% from 16 feet out to 3. He did not have a great outside shot.

    Dame\Wiggins or Dame\Parker? It's great to have such great choices.

    McGrady couldn't shoot for shit when he first came into the league. He was an ungodly amazing athlete but could only slash.

    Cho allowed to do his thing in Charlotte. Amassing a ton of young talent. They are close to being very interesting.

    Nick Staukus would be a great pickup to play with Batum.

    This draft is overrated. Nobody worth trading LA for and rebuilding. Oh and write this down: Not one player in this draft will be better than Batum so save that crap too

    Micheal Jordan was considered overrated when he came out of college.

    Do you think the GM might share your same concerns which is why he basically told the fans to keep it in perspective at mid season? Perhaps he knew that this was going to take a couple steps back before it took four steps forward.

    I think if the plan is LeBron in Cleveland. I do think Cleveland thinks long and hard at it. Somewhere I read that LeBron would like to play with LA. And face it, LA the way he played in the Houston series is worth the number one if not more. Who knows, he could have been audtioning for someone in that series.

    Even though we aren't in it (yet), I love the lottery/draft. I'm interested to see what we will do to get in.

    Physically and talent wise I think he is worth it. It's what's in the noggin that concerns me. So he brought that kind of value in two games of the Rocket series. I know what you all say, he was great the rest of the way. He wasn't the same player in games three through six as he was in game one and two. And I think it comes down to one thing. Pressure and the desire of being the man. If you are going to command that kind of salary. You better want the responsibility.

    He will be the franchise with a max deal averaging about $25 M per season. That'll eat up a good chunk of the salary cap (about a third of it).

    Yep. There is another thing. Deep down I think he was 'ok' and 'satisfied' with the way season ended. I don't want my franchise player ever feeling satisfied. Or feeling it's fine. It probably means you aren't ever going to get over the top if he is leading the way. I want him to be pissed about what happened to him and the team against the Spurs and dwell and think on it the entire off season.

    That doesn't sound like LA. He's a laid back kind of person. There are times he plays like he was pissed although it doesn't happen too often.
