    It is refreshing to watch a vid clip where the guy speaking isn't a liar and completely full of shit.

    The deal literally can't be done because they were both free agent signings.

    Learn the game, then post.

    I'd say even winning one game in the WCF would be an improvement.

    One of these is a point guard. The other is filling the point guard slot in the lineup. Their own fans complain about how CJ is horrible at feeding Zion or BI. He is still tunneling.

    We probably don't want to look at the A/TO ratios, though...

    if its not a complaint and an observation, then I don't see the problem.
    If it is a problem, its a “good” problem to have.
    When he plays point Dame isn't in the game. And as someone else mentioned and i concur, Ant hardly plays point when Dame is out due to injury. Winslow did.

    Stats can be flawed. Eye test says he is doing fine as a shooting guard as well.

    Why would you not expect a better assist ratio when Ant plays point? Thats the job of that position. I would fully expect him to have a lower asst% when he is the shooting guard. He is not passing, he is passed to.
    Not sure these numbers mean what you think they mean?
    Or im not sure what I'm missing in this comparison?

    Yeah. Dame seems to be struggling this year. He's usually under 3. His career average is 2.8

    You’re the one that said we should target those players. Now you’re telling me we can’t. My point exactly. If we COULD have gotten them, we would’ve already.

    The important ones are the his usg% stays relatively the same, but his shooting becomes much more efficient. He's a better player when he plays the role of the primary scorer.

    Didn’t say he was a good PG but he IS their PG and they have the best record in the West.

    Yes, we should target those players if we want to go all in on getting a ring with Dame. I'm telling you that we couldn't until 12/15.

    We couldn't get them before now, and there's no guarantee that we can get them now, but they are some names that I think might be had for the right price. :dunno:

    Ant's highs are high, but his lows are too low to be a #1 option at this point, IMO.

    Part of being an all-star is a degree of consistency. Doesn't mean he isn't a good player though!
