We always judge trades by who got the best player. No doubt CJ is the best scorer, but who is the best 2-way player out of CJ, Roco, Norm, and Hart? Did we actually end up with the "overall" best player, while cutting a shit load of salary? Got to love Hart. Winslow is better than RoCo. I point that out only because a few fans called him trash. Edit: Can the Mods edit my Thread title. I meant "who got the best 2-way player"
The better question is who fits what Billups wants more? The answers are more obvious. I shat on Powell and CJ a lot, but they’re good players. Just didn’t fit here, especially not with the way Billups wants to play. Hart does, he’s a dog and can actually keep players in front of him.
Winslow was a better player than Roco before - the only issue was - will he get back to what he was after his injuries and will he stay healthy going forward.
I think Hart can be a lot like Wesley Matthews, and Matthews was a much better pairing with Dame than CJ
IMHO Wes gets the edge with three-point shooting. Hart has way better handles and is better at attacking the rim, and from what I saw today at the beginning of the 4th, better at running the offense for short spurts. Defensively they are probably the same.
That was true prior to Wes sustaining the Achilles tear. He never made it back to the same level, but previously he & Dame were nearly the Splash Bros on both ends. Thats saying a lot. STOMP
Dame, Simons, Hart, and Little splitting minutes at the 1, 2, and 3 would be 36 minutes each. Not sure who starts but they can all get a lot of minutes.
At 7:27 Pacific, the thread title reads... "Who is got the best 2-way player?" Don't blame the messenger STOMP
