Everything I've read said they're way above decent from deep. Pitchers usually have really good control. Mark Price, Steve Kerr, Jeff Hornacek, Jamal Crawford, on and on...great shooters who can't defend. Stotts can park them in a corner or bring them in when you need 3pts..good role players to have
One thing I hope about our team is that they are really DIRTY. I hope they flat out hustle and throw elbows and really hurt people. (I. E . The Spurs) Would be great for fan moral.
I think we actually need a couple vets just to help keep an even keel. I'm happy Kaman is still (ATM) with the team, but I think we need a guard/wing vet to help with that part of the roster. Someone mentioned 'Dre in one of these threads - I'd be up for bringing him back for 1-2 years. You need a couple older vets to help mentor the young guys. They don't need a lot of minutes to be beneficial - their tutelage is their greatest asset.
Interesting listening to the Laker honks today. They were trying to figure out if there were 3 or more teams in the NBA that they could be better than. They went through all the rosters of the teams that sucked last year and who improved. I could not help but apply their situation to ours. We are looking at bottom 7. It's not that we don't have talent, it's that we have no depth and really don't want any. So what happens when our young roster starts to get injuries..........things will go from bad to worse in a hurry. Mags we are not making the playoffs unless we add a big time scorer to this roster.
Looking at Portland's roster and I see...... the Charlotte Hornets Bunch of young athletic bigs with little polish Forwards that hustle and play D, can't shoot Gerald Henderson A scoring PG that's the best player on the team We're in agreement that at best this team wins like 33 games next year, right? That's with no injuries. It needs to happen though. Need the shot at drafting another star player in the draft. It's the fastest and easiest way to get the cornerstones in place to compete for a championship.
Sell Hughes' contributions shirt all you want, but as much as Leonard said Kaman was like a big brother to him, he said Hughes was like a second father. I think we're going to come to regret letting him go.
So, unemployed, gambling away Meyers' mom's paycheck, swilling cheap beer 24/7 and whipping Meyers with a belt for not picking up a pack of smokes for him on his way home from school? #stereotypicalstepfather
He's actually one of the best persons to ever play the game. He did have some kind of elbow sharpener when he played, though. He was AWESOME in college and with the Knicks before he broke his wheels. Still really good limping around on the court. He was head coach of the Bulls, and several more years an assistant. Old school.
