Shard at the SG?

I'm reading the above comments about Lewis.

Rashard isnt athletic enough

Rashard can't dribble,

Lewis held his own at PF this year. Previously, at SF, he was considered a liability.

This is a guy that was given a MAX contract?????

All of those comments were made in reference to Shard playing the 2 spot. As a SF and PF he is very athletic and can drive/dribble. Shard was signed for being a consistent offensive threat, something this team was lacking at the time.

This was done just to give you things to complain about.

Similar comments would be made about Dwight playing the 3. I guess we shouldn't have given him the max either ...

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh have you ever watch the guy play? Do you really want him playing sg he would get killed on the defensive side. He can't dribble either so he would hurt the offense sometimes too.

Let me get this straight, he is athletic and can dribble as a SF or PF but can't as a SG? I thought you either were atheletic or you weren't. You could either have handles or not. Pippen could do all that, but I guess if they asked him to play SG he would not be athletic enough or be able to dribble. Do you guy believe this stuff or make it up as you go along? Lewis is a one dimensional player, period. A taller Allan Houston, except Houston averaged more points and didn't choke in the playoffs. And th ereason this team won was more because of Dwight, then Hedo and then SVG. I guess when he was playing SG in Seattle he was a bust also.

It's simple. Both Hedo and Lewis in the starting line-up won't work unless one of them gets time at SG, otherwise one of them has to go.

Its all relative. Have you ever played sports?

Both of your arguments are tired and stupid give it up already. Were stuck with the contract live with it. It's not going away for a long time so just ignore the contract and pretend like it doesn't exist. Pretend like he's only being paid 80 million, it may help you feel better it does I know it helps me, and I don't want to hear that garbage about Lewis improved us from the games we won last year. He helped but most of the improvement had to do with the new coach, Hedo being set free and Howard improving than it did to with Lewis.
