    Little nugget I learned last night.

    Earl Watson is leasing out his Denver place to Will Barton.

    This is the kid of personality data that I think would intrigue @MarAzul

    Can't believe it was just over a year ago we traded him and a first round pick for Arron Afflalo.

    I think Neil is a great GM but he certainly has made a number of huge mistakes.

    Would Barton be the third best player on this team? He's averaging 15ppg with a 17 PER on a team better than many expect. Change five of their losses to wins their .500. He's paid only $3.3 million the next 3 seasons. Could be another Jermaine O'neal.

    Losing Will Barton was not a huge mistake. It's a mistake, but small.

    No, because he wouldn't average those numbers here. I would take him back for sure but here he would still be a bench guy (due to us needing Aminu's D in the starting lineup). So he would get minutes for sure and help us win but his individual numbers would suffer.
