    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting "shapecity":</div><div class="quote_post">i don't like jeffries either. i thought he was very overrated coming out of college. his game is too predictable and he doesn't play well unless he is the focus of attack. his game is not nba level and he'll just be a career bench player.</div>

    thats exactly how I feel about sasser, he cant score unless the whole offensive system is focused on him. Like on Jan. 26 against boston the only reason he had 26 points was because tmac didnt play and mike miller was 2-18.............and I have a bad feeling about sasser, because if he doesent play GREAT in the summer league bogans will take his spot and sasser will be screwed....................Anyways jeffries will be a bust. Another bad move by Michael Jordan.

    tayshaun prince will be a solid player FOREVER but will never be a star. Mehmet okur is garbage, and piston fans overrate him too much.</div>

    Overrated? say what? how do we overrate him? if we sign DC..okur might not play much..but will still help us..with his three-pointers and rebounds.How the hell is okur garbage? he is important player...god..i have to wonder about people say they say this crap.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">i dunno. after the nets series people just ssemed to think hses the next phenom or sumthin. hes not great. hes decent. nuthin special</div>

    :roll: prince will be a good player..a possible 15 and 7 guy depending on his court time over the next few years....what rookie can shut down iverson,mcgrady late in games in the playoffs? prince did that...kid has got a bright future...but i want to see what FA we sign..as if we get a SF..his playing time could be limited

    Shapecity- To me, Nene never really showed that he had any post-moves worth mentioning and he certainly lacks the go-to move that is almost prerequisite for becoming a consistent post-threat. And picking up weak-side dunks because your team has a good PG hardly makes anyone a force in the post. Plus you're obviously jumping the gun a bit. The Nuggets haven't signed a quality '1' yet so I think you're being presumptuous in saying that a new PG will affect Nene's offensive game in a positive way. Especially considering we don't who it will be or how his game will mesh with Nene's.

    Saying Tayshaun needs to hit the wieghts is simply stating the obvious, and unimportant. If it were all that hard for skinny guys to make it in the NBA than Kevin Garnett and Tracy Mcgrady would've never turned into stars and Keon Clark never would've been allowed in the L. Richard Jefferson certainly outplayed Tayshaun in the playoffs, but remember it was Jefferson's 2nd playoff run and never, ever discount experience in the playoffs. The fact remains that Prince played better basketball than any late first-rounder in decent memory. If they did the '02 draft over again he would be a top-ten pick.

    You're definitely right about Ginobli if Stephen Jackson doesn't re-sign. Given 30+ minutes a night 'Manu has the ability to flirt with 20 a game, I just wonder if the shots will be there for him.

    Sjax might well stay now..seems he is happy the way spurs give him a chance to play and wants to re-pay them by returning..things can change from now though...but it is looking postive..

    As i said it depends on his court time..and who we sign....

    but with good court time he could put up 15 and 7....he is only a rookie remember..he can build on these performances....

    he has good height...so it's possible...5 rebounds a game might be more realistic..

    duh....i've seen prince and he is a damn good jumper..can get his rebounds..he just needs to work on it..and he could be a decent rebounder if he wanted..but with our forwards..he might not get a chance to rebound much

    Detroit will turn undo a deep bench like Sacremento and Portland and Dallas so they will look like a West Team now

    Funny..when i went to a game against the magic i told T-mac enjoy watching the 2nd round on T.V...[​IMG] and it turns out that happened...

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">and DC stats will be: 20 mpg, 8 ppg, 4rpg.................... Nothing better
    </div>

    DC averaged 10 and 7 for the sixers..8 and 4 and nothing better? [​IMG] get real...he will get some boards...darko will help also on the boards

    I asked cliffy for an autograph, but he said later, and RIP ignored me when I asked him for one. The only person on the pistons who is willing to give autographs is chucky and ben. I talked a little crap to chucky too, he got mad...............back to the subject now, DC wont get as much playing time as he got in philly because they want to develop darko milicic. ENJOY WATCHING OKUR ROTT ON THE BENCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Stay off the crack seriously..okur will play and do a good job......he did well in his rookie year..and will continue to..why do you think the kings are so badly interested in him? they will be the ones making bids for him next off-season when he is a FA..darko won't play that much in his rookie year...he will get good minutes but won't get nearly s much playing time as james and melo ..DC will likely play good enough minutes to get at least 6 boards a game....depends how larry wants to use him..it all is up to LB...
