Anybody else notice how Kevin is now taking leadership charge in breaks after timeouts to have usually have the last word in huddle and then call out... One, Two, as team yells - Break! Nice leadership from... not the kid... but the man
Donte is a rookie people, he's a great shooter who hasn't gotten many minutes this year... yes he does chuck it and he needs to learn to take the -right- shots, but that will come with more play time honestly and so will the rest of his game. I just hope his performance tonight earns him more playing time for the rest of the season...
Actually yes -- Amare would be perfect right now. We'd be guaranteed of having a 20+pt PF coming in next year while zeroin in on one of the top picks in this draft to play alongside him. Amare's injury makes him MORE attrtactive from where I am sitting. A major concern I had was that he was going to come in, cost us what he cost us, and then cost us draft position as well.
Good to see Greene get some minutes tonight! This is why I was so disappointed to trade for a SF that has a TERRIBLE contract in Noci...I want Greene to get more minutes and eventually start at SF! Gonna be hard to do that when we are paying Garcia/Noci major $$$ (MLE+), and long term deals to boot...
The only reason I actually want Blake Griffin is for a trade. I mean, what are the other options? You can't have him and JT sharing time because those are the 2 best developing players. You can't trade JT away because who knows if Griffin will be that much, if any, better than JT. He has to attract lots of attention and I'm thinking we could get some good stuff out of him in a trade.
With a good bench Im not so sure it isnt...Danny Granger is putting up 25 ppg 5 rpg and 4 apg. Combine that with Kevin's 20+ ppg, Thompsons and Hawes improved numbers due to development and Ramon Sessions who as a starter is playing out of his mind so far and I think this might be a playoff team...especially with some of the lower tear seeds starting to age and fall out of contention. Plus, our goal isn't to be a playoff team next year, its to make sure we got a solid young core to contend in a few years...and that team seems to fit that agenda. This is all coming from my head of course and is 100% sure not to happen in reality so I should probably just shut up about it.
DANNY GRANGER!
Unless your FO is so bad at selecting talent that it's done with a dartboard, earlier is always going to be better. Use it or trade it.
Blake Griffin has the potential to be one of the league's best big men in a league where good big men are few and far between. I don't care if there's a log-jam. Jason Thompson or Spencer Hawes just aren't worth a player of Blake Griffin's caliber. Plus, Griffin can play C and Thompson can play the 4. Hawes isn't good enough to merit a starting position in this league anyways.
Umm, no he really can't. He's 6'7"-6'9" and would every center could go right over him. Yao Ming would be almost a foot taller than him... But I do agree that Hawes isn't good enough to get a starting position in this league. That's why if we get Blake Griffin I would want Blake+Hawes to NJ for Brook Lopez+1st rounder.
