Mixed bag, IMO. I think part of why I like him as much as I do is due to who preceded him. Simply by coming in after Nate McMillan makes him look...

Thanks, KoR. One of these days I'll get around to putting together a comprehensive, numbers-based post on why LMA just isn't very good... Just...
Because you can't refute it? Way to leave out the heft of my argument and only quote that which serves your purpose...
I'm not concerned about his "production", I'm concerned about his skill set. And his skills just aren't all that great - he's lacking in skill in A...
PFs who are better then, as good, or close enough to being as good as LMA: Love* Duncan Dirk KG Millsap* Lee* West Pau ZBo Ibaka* Scola Bargnani...

Noknobs - what's being an all-star have to do with it?
He's not the 2nd best in the league - not by a long shot. See my argument about PPG - it's meaningless if it doesn't lead to wins. If you have an...
Well we're not far off from being a 12 win team WITH LMA. But nobody is saying we should dump him for 3rd string players. Ideally we'd get one...
LMA's being an "all-star" and his scoring average are irrelevant. There have been PLENTY of mediocre All-Stars over the years - LME is definitely...
Best coach in the NBA! Love him!

Agreed. That's why I think OKC is kind of realistic, except for the salaries (though honestly I don't think either team would exchange LMA/Ibaka)....
I wish there was a way we could trade him for Ibaka & Lamb. Or that we had traded him for Harden...although I still don't know that I want Harden on...
Yeah, I may have spoken too soon! And I agree with Platypus about being more concerned about assists than points. I haven't fallen in love with...
Two part trade. Extremely unrealistic (why would UTH take this garbage? Include next season's draft pick?). Garbage for Millsap/Watson:...
I wouldn't even mind trading Lillard [gasp], as long as the trade brought us back some really excellent, proven, young talent. But it's imperative...
He's better at defending the P&R, yes. And probably overall - though I need to watch Hickson more, and watch him play defense from the PF position,...
I don't know if that's in response to me or just the general lack of mention. Personally, I can no longer count him among the great SGs - at this...
