    Honestly that means nothing to me that a player was close to being bought out.
    We just picked up Kanter and he is contributing. He was released by the Knicks no less.

    It usualy is a result of a financial decision or roster evening, than actual talent or lack of.
    Melo being the outlier. Lol.

    Don't confuse names with talent. Charlotte already has one of those people at the top...

    Charlotte didn't spend 4 1st rounders on Kaminsky. They turned down that offer from Boston because they wanted Winslow.

    My post says "Veterans who know how to play the game". Doesn't really sound like i am the one who is confused. Nevertheless they are talented. Just not playing well at this point. In My Humble Opinion.

    Can someone who has zealous research talent see if any other team in the league has had 2 different guys come off the bench and score 20 points in a quarter?

    I've never been a fan of the whole +/- way of judging a player. Check out tonight.....CJ was a +20 and Hood a -2.

    Whoops, my original response was 20 points in a game, not a quarter! Deleted.

    Nurkic is now averaging 15.5ppg, 10.1reb, and 3.2 assists on 51.3 FG% (52.8% from 2P) and a TS% over 57%.

    Per 36, he has over 20ppg, 13rpg, and 4apg to go along with 2bpg.

    I hate when people use it with no added context. Sometimes it's reflective of what went wrong for a certain player or group of players, but sometimes not. So it always needs an explanation and added context if someone's actually going to try to use it in their argument.

    Good Example - Player A was a -13 because he struggled here and here and the offense had less spacing with him on the court so it bogged down.

    Bad Example - Player A was a -13. He sucked.

    I kind of feel that way about almost all stats, especially when grabbing one or two. I think you're right though.

    We lost to the Heat twice. A team currently behind the Hornets in the East. The Hornets have made some of the most pathetic decision in the draft.
    #2 Kidd-Gilchrist ...
    #6 B. Biyombo
    #7 F. Kaminsky
    #9 Kemba Walker is about to leave them to return to NY
    #11 Malik Monk
    #12 Miles Bridges
    #4 Cody Zeller

    Then they pay $120 mil to Batum, $50 mil to Marvin Williams

    Rich Cho is the architect of this mess. YES. Our own Rich Cho. The guy who replaced Pritchard.
    Would you rather have him than Neil O Shay?

    Talent applies only to current abilities, not what they were able to do many years ago or were projected to do at draft time. That team has very little talent.

    Exactly. Too many variables.
