I mostly agree with this. Where I differ is in ranking Wes and LMA - and a bit of quibbling for Nic. Wes and Nic go higher, LMA lower. Wes - IMO...
Teams looking to make a title run aren't going to give up valuable players - they'll need them for their title run. And teams that might otherwise...
I agree with a lot of this. But I would point to two different things that most "stand in the way" of him becoming the player you describe. 1 - His...
Re: Carmelo leaning towards Houston or Chicago? Rather swap LMA for Melo (duh!). Seems that upgrading our #1 option to a guy who is better suited...
If LMA is such a great defender, why is he guarding the opposition's worst offensive player 99% of the time? That's why his defensive stats look...
I think that's buying high and selling low. Develop these players a little and we should be able to do better. While I'm not high on CJ, I would...
Supposedly Stotts is an offensive genius, so it shouldn't be hard for him to work up a new offense. But, since I don't actually believe that Stotts...
And this is what so many people seem to be missing. Trading LMA for the #1 does not equate to a 1:1 player swap. We aren't replacing LMA with an...
Flip Saunders: The White Nate McMillan
I don't follow NCAA, so I don't know anything about these prospects. But with regards to "struggling" with his shot and crunch time, I would say...
Pretty much. You didn't provide any evidence. And besides, stats don't really tell the whole story. And PER - I don't give a whit about per. It...
Hmph, I agree with you. Setting aside "The Shot", we also got two historical performances from LMA in G1 and G2. You can't count on performances...
Take your pick! Lopez plays his role better for us, than either Rubio or Martin play their role for the 'Wolves. I don't think Martin has EVER been...
Rubio is terrible as a starter. Martin is terrible as a starter. Pek is good offensively, but not so good defensively - Lopez certainly provides more...
It's not "self explanatory", nor is it even a decent argument. Kevin Love has never played with a roster that's half as good as the roster we...
D'oh. I completely misinterpreted the post. Too little sleep last night...
I agree. I think our problems are, in descending order: #1 - Bench #2 - Coaching #3 - Our #1 option isn't good enough at being a #1 option. It...
#1 - Don't really know. But my shopping list would look like this: ---LBJ (no draft pick) ---Melo (plus draft pick) ---DMC (plus draft pick) ---CLE...

We shouldn't be looking at a trade involving a draft pick and expect that pick to replace LMA. But it's certainly reasonable that the team could be...
