    I wonder if Will would have been the Aminu of our bench. Wild crazy dribbles, but can get hot, but just not as good defensively.

    I would have gladly taken Will over Hendo. I thought Hendo did okay, but Will was always in attack mode. Hendo got really annoying with those forced pull-up jumpers.

    Personally I hate turnovers more than missed shots. At least with a missed shot it had a chance to go in... unless you're deandre jordan from anywhere beyond 2 feet.

    Scope out the PER 36 my man. Wild Will schools Hendo. Better TS% and similar turnover numbers. More rebounds, more assists, etc

    Thrill was a bit out of control at times but it has gotten better. He does attack, can score in a number of ways and is versatile in several areas. Hendo has a 1-2 dribble pull up jumper ONLY going to the right. When that is taken away, he becomes instant hesitation.

    I still think barnes would shine with more offensive freedom. He's going to be a good signing for someone as long as he doesn't get max

    I agree. He is a decent 3 & D SF. Not spectacular..... but solid
    But like you said....for the right price.

    We don't have any PFs on our team; we have small centers and tall SF's.

    Vonley? He hasn't shown much yet, but he is a prototypical power forward.

    You mean the drifting out to launch threes part or the disappears for games at a time part? :ghoti: Because I can see where Blazers fans would see those as hallmarks of a PF.

    This makes me think of Tracy McGrady's comment when he heard that Bradley Beal might get the max: "If he's a max player then I'm coming back!"

    Starting to think it would be better for us to sit this free agency out if we whiff on obvious superstars. If we try to sign somebody of an Ed Davis or Aminu level, we'll have to pay them twice what Davis and Aminu got, and that can't help chemistry.

    That's like commending a chicken with its head cut off for its running skills: Yes, but...

    This is such a myth. Amazing that Batum managed to lead the league in distance traveled on the court with so little energy.

    The part where he rolls to the basket after a switch and pins a 6'1" PG on his hip under the hoop like he is supposed to, calls for the ball.....and never gets it because only our guards shoot the ball.

    I wouldn't mind bringing everyone but Kaman, Roberts, and Henderson, and signing 3 guys for depth. Therefore if we trade some guys for a star at the deadline we'll still have the depth.
