    Lmao... Dude gets ~0.8PPS (at best) on midrange jumpshots over his entire career. About 0.9PPS this year. Over the course of the season, he HURTS the team when he shoots those.

    Well we got that 9-0 very easily. Easy come easy go sometimes. It's fine. We weren't gonna shut them out for the whole quarter.

    He's so deep in it, that we should just start calling him Moe Barkless

    Would you rather have someone who's inconsistently good and bad or someone who's consistently bad?

    Surprised you had the guts to say that. Kudos. Nagbe was good at dribbling and keeping the ball. That's about it. Had some flares where he show the ability to create though.

    Pretty much.
    Turner you generally know what to expect from.
    Batum you could get the guy who goes 3 of 5 from three in 1 quarter. Looks to post up smaller guys, attacks the rim and looks aggressive.
    Or you could get the piece of drift wood who throws casual cross court passes which lead to turnovers.
    Or the Batum who could so easily dunk the ball on Westbricks head only to choose to lay the ball up and miss the shot.

    Personally I'll take the guy you generally know what you're going to get, rather than the guy you don't.

    Considering you trashed Turner constantly when he joined, it's weird that you overrate him now.

    Oh wait... No it's not.

    Who are we comparing him to? This started as a conversation about the trade. I'd rather have Vonleh. If you're talking about Turner, I'm happy with him. His midrange game is very reliable.

    Let's field a D-League team because we'll know they'll consistently suck.

    I love Nurk but he's not worth major dough. We have to get a wing who can ISO and penetrate.

    When he joined, he turned the ball over constantly and had NBA historically bad +/-. Mid season, he turned it around and he hasn't bothered me at all.

    It feels weird saying this, but I wish we had Leonard in the game right now.

    Draw Howard out of the paint for Dame, and CJ to drive; or if Howard sags, give Leonard wide open threes from the top of the key.
