    Yeah if it were a 3 for 1 trade it would be easy but losing that many players in a close group and bringing in 3 new players is a pretty big risk. I'm not sure I'm advocating it but I was just thinking that in terms of a 3rd string PG I was happy with Maynor's time here.

    i dont like the idea of trading crabbe, dude has made a lot of strides to be a good help defender and is accurate from 3. as much as i love them barton claver and trob are the tradeables.

    I think Dame needs to wrap himself up like Iverson used to..he doesn't need a break, he needs bandages and he's already flirting with the headband

    He just needs to stay away from the barber this summer and get some cornrows.

    And the bar. And the aquarium. He drinks like a fish - should stay away from both.

    I liked Maynor too, he played well with Damian. I didn't understand why he got so little interest around the league. I'd sign him and cut Claver. Claver wants out anyway, and he's not getting playing time even with two big men out.

    ...yeah, he looked real tired out there in the 4th quarter against the Lakers -- especially his final dunk of the game :dunno:

    Probably because he can't shoot for shit? And his defensive ratings are atrocious? And if you can't shoot for shit, at least have a 3 point shot that makes you worth defending, which he doesn't?

    If Maynor had Blakes ability to shoot and hit 3's (not that Blakes shooting %'s are other worldy), maybe he'd garner some interest by teams.

    Dame's a monster late in games and OTs because of his unbelievable conditioning. When everyone is exhausted, he's thriving.

    Still want him to get some rest a bit. I wish we had more blowouts so we can sit him in the fourth.

    He was actually out of breath in the post-game interview, which I hadn't seen from him before. He is definitely tired, but he has reserves of will he can tap into in lieu of energy.

    That's the first sign of heavy drinking.

    Can you explain this for me? I've been seeing this (joke?) mentioned a fair bit, but do not understand where it comes from.

    A couple months ago, BGD claimed that he heard that Dame drinks like a fish. He's been being mocked for it ever since.

    Good times...
