JR Smith's work ethic

[DaFan334]

I don't think I've ever seen anyone use a Capital letter at the beginning of every word in a paragraph... and gotta call ya out for false advertising, its almost a month past March 15th.

As for examples... here are a few recent ones:
-Oklahoma City acquired Morris Peterson and the draft rights to 11th pick Cole Aldrich from New Orleans in exchange for the draft rights to 21st pick Craig Brackins and 26th pick Quincy Pondexter.
-On June 24, 2009, Minnesota acquired the 5th pick, Etan Thomas, Darius Songaila and Oleksiy Pecherov from Washington in exchange for Randy Foye and Mike Miller.
-Portland acquired the draft rights to 11th pick Jerryd Bayless and Ike Diogu from Indiana in exchange for the draft rights to 13th pick Brandon Rush, Jarrett Jack and Josh McRoberts.[12] The trade was finalized on July 9, 2008.[14]
- Memphis acquired the draft rights to 8th pick Rudy Gay and Stromile Swift from Houston in exchange for Shane Battier

Indiana Trading The 13th Pick For The 11th Pick Is Supposed To Prove Me Wrong? Here's The Issues With Those Trades: The OKC/New Orleans One Only Happened Because New Orleans Was Going Through An Ownership Change And Did Not Want To Take On The Contract of An 11th Pick So They Gave It Away (emphasis on "gave it away"). Washington Gave Up The 5th Pick For Miller AND Foye Which Could Mean We'd Have To Package Felton With Someone Else. The Battier One Doesn't Count Because It Happened Before Owners Became Paranoid When It Came To Draft Day Trades.

Only 4 Times In The Last 4 Drafts Has A Team Outside of The Lottery Traded Into The Lottery And Only 1 of Them Was 1 Player Straight Up For A Pick, Jason Richardson For Brandan Wright. If You Want To Trade Felton For The Next Brandan Wright Be My Guest. Another Was For Ray Allen! That Minny/Washington One You Mentioned Was For Ricky Rubio. How That's Working Out? Even If We Did Find Someone That Somehow Agreed To Give Up A Lottery Pick For Felton Chances Are That Pick Would Blow Up In Our Face.

-I was wrong on the Indiana trade, missed that Rush was the 13th pick, my bad.
-New Orleans was going through an ownership change, but teams are at times forced to make moves for financial reasons that aren't as good for teams rosters as proved by the Jason Richardson for Brandon Wright move which was mainly a salary dump. And you may not like Brandon Wright now, but he was the 8th overall pick. No matter what, a lottery pick is still a crap shoot on if they make it in the league or not.
-Felton has more value than Randy Foye and Mike Miller. The biggest part of their value in that deal was that they were expiring contracts, which Felton also is next year. And you can't knock Ricky Rubio until he comes over to the NBA, which is expected next year. Has shown far too much talent in international play to write him off as though he was a bust.
-The trade of Jeff Green for Ray Allen also sent a large expiring contract in Wally, and Delonte West along with Jeff Green to the Sonics for Ray Allen, so it wasn't as though they only got the 5th overall pick for Ray Allen, they also got two other pieces of value.
-Chances are any draft pick made is fighting against the odds of players who actually make it in the league. There are no safe picks and there never will be in the NBA. Its extremely random as to who survives and who doesn't.

ps: Learn how to use capitalization in your posts, it hurts to read them when every word is started with a capital letter.

So you wouldn't want to have Derrick Williams on your tea as the starter? if you have 3 first rounders this year you could package them all for a top 7 pick IMO

Derrick Williams right now is either the 1st or 2nd overall pick...so that package is needing to get a top 2 pick.

Ok so if you trade Felton for a 10 pick or something, then trade Smith for another pick and a backup PG, that allows you to trade up in the draft and have a guaranteed shot at Williams. It's no secret that Felton wants to go somewhere where he will start. So if you trade Smith and Felton and get a PG and a special player like Derrick Williams then you have done a good job IMO, especially since you have a good 3 man rotation at SG/SF with Afflalo, Gallinari and Chandler (they can each play 30-35 minutes a night).

I'd Like You To Show Me A Team That Would Trade Williams For Two Picks And A Backup PG. The Reason The Nuggets or Many Other Teams Haven't Traded Up In The Draft In Recent Years Is Because The Price Is Too Steep. And Even In The Worst Draft In A Few Years There's No Chance Felton Can Bring Back A Lottery Pick. I Don't Care If He Averages 20 & 12 In The Playoffs, There's No Chance.

I think that if that Minnesota and Cleveland would both consider trading the second overall pick for Felton, two first round pick from this year, and maybe a future pick. These are both teams that have solid young forwards, but need leadership and depth. So yes I defintitely believe that if Denver can stockpile enough draft picks then they can get up high enough to get Williams. Even if you miss out on Williams there are a lot of really good power forwards projected to go in the top 7.

Love the pic...lol. That is swag...

J.R. ok by me. I tell you what, Karl took his sweet ass time getting him in the lineup in both those losses and he was fouled on that 3 tonight...Roy got that call at home, why couldn't Smith?
