Start Reggie at SG next to Ish?

[hoophabit]

Well, we do get pretty energetic about shooting down bad ideas. That must be what he meant by terrorizing the board this season.

I assumed the intent was to continue beating the same drum, and so resisted calling the FBI about the "terrorism."

ad hominem attacks are not arguments my friend.

Um, that right there is what is called a joke. I thought the emoticons in the initial post gave that away? It's light-hearted and not intended as an attack at all. People kid around on here.

Thing is, most of us are totally convinced that you've made up your mind about KCP. You might be right that he doesn't work out as the Pistons SG. He does seem to want top dollar, and with this front office I wouldn't rule out a trade. However, everything we see says SVG really likes KCP as a team player. He plays a lot of minutes and there aren't much better indicators of a coach's approval than that? I said on another thread that I was glad the extension wasn't signed. Gives a longer evaluation period. I'm interested in seeing how he does playing with a more complete roster, and what additional maturity might bring. I'm not convinced the time has necessarily come to make a final decision on KCP.

You might be right that SVG plans to start RJ at SG. I don't know for sure that he doesn't. I suppose my main misgiving having to do with KCP struggling to guard some of the stronger more physical SGs. This kind of defense isn't one of RJ's strengths? Might we see that combination in some situations? I'd have to think that's more likely than RJ as our starting SG. Just my opinion. I'll offer you another, relax and don't try too hard for a chorus of "you're right." No one objects to an opinion here provided it doesn't get tiresomely repetitive. State your opinion and enjoy the banter on the board.

I hear you and respect your post. Let's see what happens.

See, I'm def not Todd.

Holy crap you really aren't. That's something he doesn't do.

Yeah welcome to the forums my man. We like to joke here provided no one takes it too seriously. Our mods are really lenient to how far we take it which may be jarring to some.

You're right KCP is obviously the SG of the future which is why he was extended today. Oh wait...

TSE blatantly ignoring SVG's comments and/or going to claim SVG is blowing smoke up everyones a*. Which again is not a accurate depiction of reality. Last time i checked he's still a RFA and we control his birds rights, so your point, once again is irrelevant.

Ish is no worse a shooter than KCP

Ish TS = .443
KCP TS= .506

So unless you don't understand basic math, FACTS DICTATE Ish smith is a significantly worst shooter than KCP, hence why no ones taking any of your post seriously. Gross mis-perception of reality

but is much better off the dribble. Reggie is a better shooter and I feel he can defend the SG position adequately.

Like I said bud, we will see this lineup at some point soon and then you can send me that apology.

unless you plan on actually providing any relevant stats or any sort of intelligent logic, you should be apologizing to this board for wasting our time. We do have all season to educate you on our team, so feel free to stick around if you don't mind crow. You can some of Todds as he has literally threads and threads of crow

Cant wait until KCP is moved this season.

All that smoke SVG blew up your a** will be quickly released.

You will feel so much better and then you can apologize and we can be buds.

FYI. SVG won't let KCP go anywhere. He is the prototype of player SVG covets.

KCP is gonna prove you all wrong!!!

Literally has nothing to do with the discussion at hand, don't be a d* just because you thought Ish was a better shooter without even looking.

and i never said he wouldn't get traded.

You will feel so much better and then you can apologize and we can be buds.

I am starting to think your not Todd, but actually JODI!!!

the only thing throwing me off is that you haven't used the word "Wonderful"

Since the current OP is absolute SH*, i thought i try to have a actual healthy discussion.

I wouldn't say KCP won't be traded as SVG is much to savvy of a business man and the fact is KCP , if he can become a efficient scorer, will be a premium 2 way SG in this league. In other words, i can definitely see a desperate team offering SVG something outrageous that the only reason he'd turn it down is because of his personal feelings for KCP and SVG seems like a man that can make those "Business Decisions".

I will say this, the offer to get KCP away from SVG is going to have to be pretty impressive, furthermore i think KCP really likes it in Detroit. To me he just fits the City and Team. Can't blame him for wanting to get paid.

[Blkbrd671]

who wants to make the start baynes >Dre thread because Baynes is a better 3 point shooter?

Actually FACTS DICTATE Dre is a career 25% 3pt shooter whereas Baynes is just a career 14.3% 3pt shooter. HOW DARE YOU BLASPHEMY DRE'S 3PT SHOOTING LIKE THAT!!!

ironically it follows the rhetoric of the thread

"KCP can't shoot, Start Ish Smith"

[Blkbrd671]

If OP is actually Todd this thread is too hilarious. Start thread that just so happens to advocate heavily reducing KCP's role, bring your main account in to casually contribute to the discussion, give yourself an and 1 with your new alternate account and also drop a compliment at yourself.

If by some stretch you are actually a new poster I apologize but it seems like it would be too big of a coincidence.

No new poster would ever pop in and give props to any poster, especially TSE/Todd3.

What would have made this thread even more epic is if the new Poster or Todd gave the other this emote:

check the pm's

If the Nets can offer Tyler Johnson $15 mil per, then KCP is most definitely going to break $20 mil. This will be a make or break season for him. I think he will prove doubters wrong.

KCP must have read my posts. Making me look bad tonight.

As long as the Pistons win, I don't care how he shoots, lol.

Some match ups we'll go with RJ, KCP, and Ish out there. Doubt that happens more than a couple times. But we'll surely see Ish and RJ together some.
