    NBA All-Star Reserves named.

    Derrick Rose does not deserve to be on the team. The rest of the players I'm fine with. David Lee >>>>> Derrick Rose this year.

    How do we build a contending team?

    What wins in the NBA? I'd say you need a couple of things. I think the two most important factors are post D and efficient scorers who can goto the line and get the other team in foul trouble. You also need role players who don't make too much money and can hit efficient 3 pointers...

    What superstars (injured or not) can we get for Kevin?

    If we could get CP3 who is only going to be 24, I'd honestly trade most of the team for him. Honestly noone would be untradable to me in order to get him. He's unbelievably good. COnsidering how competitive the west is, and what he's done with pretty marginal talent in the west is pretty...

    My other worry about Reke is his A/TO in college isn't that great. Nelson I know had a pretty solid A/TO ratio in colllege, Rose was decent but not that great (both he and Reke played in the DDO which isn't a traditional O and doesn't have a traditional PG), and Harris was more of a 2 guard in...

    VSL Game 3 Thread - Kings vs. Bucks

    It makes little sense to judge any player after 3 summer league games, much less 3 seasons in the NBA. I will wait 3 seasons until I fully judge any player just selected to the draft. If they suck in 3 NBA seasons they will likely suck for their career. If they are good in 3, or even by the...

    Marcus really never got a chance to be the #1 PG. He has played behind Jason Kidd, Devin Harris and Marco/Monta/Watson. The last 3 obviously not that impressive. Marcus might get a chance as the #2 PG in Memphis but he'll have to improve. Obviously the difference between him and Conley is...

    VSL Game 3 Thread - Kings vs. Bucks

    Conley's hate in this thread is bad. He is only going to be 22 this year. PG is a tough position. The 2nd half of the year he played extremely well when given the reigns of the team. It's one of the reasons why the Grizzles did not go after Rubio. In February through April (36 games), he...

    I have a feeling Evans eventually won't be a real PG either, but may be our secondary or even primary ball handler like those guys are. People I think forget Lebron's first year in the NBA. It wasn't that great and obviously if Reke and near Lebron's first year--it be sick for us. His 2nd...

    VSL Game 3 Thread - Kings vs. Bucks

    I wouldn't go as far as your 2nd paragraph. But your right Evans is going to have to prove himself. To me he still has to prove himself as a PG. We all know he's a legit scorer and can goto the hole at will. For some reason he was drafted to be a PG. I personally don't think he is one but...

    Looks like Tyreke has played well....I doubted him. But I still don't think he's ever going to be a legit PG b/c he turns the ball over too much. I think he can be like Wade or Kobe when it comes to ball handling which isn't a bad thing. I'm just not sure how a PG-Tyreke-Kevin Martin lineup...

    What superstars (injured or not) can we get for Kevin?

    Portland also hit the lottery once and got lucky and got Brandon Roy with the 5th pick. Maybe Evans can be the next Roy. We have basically blown things up, why does cutting off Martin who is only 26 really solve? What does removing essentially the last piece really do, especially when he is...

    What superstars (injured or not) can we get for Kevin?

    I guess we should just pray for the next Duncan, Shaq, Hakeem then.........

    What superstars (injured or not) can we get for Kevin?

    Looks like Larry Fitzgerald almost carried his team to a title this year with your little analogy. Also Jerry Rice didn't hurt the careers of Joe Montana and Steve Young. He also made Rich Gannon look like a HOFer in Oakland. In the NBA you almost need 2 HOF players to win a title. I guess...

    What superstars (injured or not) can we get for Kevin?

    Looks like Boston just won a title with Ray Allen. Allen had some success previously although no titles. Obviously you can't win with Kevin Martin alone. But you can't win with Kobe Bryant or Lebron James alone either. Kobe needed Gasol and a bunch of other help--and Lebron couldn't beat the...

    DeJuan Blair

    We have a very similar player to Blair in Diogu. We aren't even re-signing him. Blair has a tremendous wing span but has no ACls and has some weight issues. Maybe he'll eventually become a star but will have to see.

    What superstars (injured or not) can we get for Kevin?

    Kevin is what he is. He is a pure scorer. You can build around pure scorers. HE is the 7th leading scorer in the NBA and is more efficient than everyone above him at doing it. He is what he is. You can build around him like the Pacers did around Reggie. Is he Reggie Miller? No, he isn't...

    How do you feel about picking Evans?

    He's still a very average player and doubtful he'll ever be a superstar. His metrics are pretty poor. I guess he could improve heavily like some other PGs but I have a wait and see approach. He did not play very well at all as the #1 PG for Detroit this year. Usually guards who eventually...

    How do you feel about picking Evans?

    If he's the next Wade high five. If he's the next Stuckey..........we wasted a pick.

    How do you feel about picking Evans?

    Really? Really? You guys just dont' realize how ****ty CUSA is--I live in Memphis, CUSA is a joke. He played PG throughout HS. This isn't that hard of a jump. Wade played in CUSA when L-Ville, Cincy, and Memphis were part of the conference. The reason he jumped is due his great...
