McBum is awful. Can't really call him damaged goods because he was never really good. And unfortunately we're stuck with him.

McRoberts is a 8 year pro with a career average of 5.5 pts/4 rebs. Only 3 times in those 8 years has he played more than 50 games in a single season. Soon to be 9, 3 times out of 9 years he has played 50 or more games in a single season. He's played in 37 games for this team in 2 years, averaging 3.8 pts/3 rebs. This guy is a bum, and I don't have anything personal against McRoberts but I would be saying the same thing about any other player with the same resume. The sooner we cut bait the better.

People don't want to see it. For some reason they think that'll he'll be a productive player for us.

McBob had one average season on a crappy Hornets team and after that one crappy season the Hornets didn't even fight to keep him. They didn't offer him the MLE until we did and by then it was too late.

People love to call his contract a "bargain contact" today but when we signed him? It was pretty universally accepted that it was an overpay for him.
McBob is not good.

Of course we aren't. That's the type of contract that would take major assets to unload. No one else wants this overpaid scrub.

I didn't even mention the guy was getting paid 23 million. Not sure he would get half of that on the market today.

Dude better start balling when he gets heatlhy or Riley should murder his whole family.

Post #167 » by **QUIZ** » Fri Jan 22, 2016 10:00 pm

He's not going to start balling. That's the point. Go look at his career on bball ref. he sucks. Always has and he always will. He peaked at 8pts 4asts on 36% from 3 when playing major minutes in a big role. Here as a bench big though? 3 and 3 while shooting 13% from 3. Coincidentally he's only hit 3 3's on the season. I think he has a thing for the number 3.

He sucks!

Wallace just said on 790 that he's hearing we're looking to make at least one trade, maybe 2.

Sais Deng might be out, hoping his eye is fine. We're looking for a 3 point wing.

Stretch provision, QUIZ. That's what it's for.

Wallace said Deng and Birdman for Rudy Gay is being discussed. He said he's not reporting that it's immenent, but it's something that's out there. He also mentioned Markief Morris as a possibility.

What do you guys think about Tony Snell. He seems attainable because I've seen some Bulls fans complaining about Tony Snell. He doesn't put up big stats, but he''s shooting 3's at 37% on 3 attempts per game. So he's a slight upgrade over Deng at threes. His net rating and defensive fg% is similar to Winslow's. He's holding opponents to -5.5% below their average. So basically it would be like having two Winslow's, but one with a lot less upside and a reliable three. Just spitballing.

Morris is absolutely crap. Rudy Gay means no Whiteside

A low key move i was looking at was, Mike Scott for Atlanta. He shooting %40 from 3, good size decent athleticism. Has skill but his game is not that good. But may flourish if he is put in his right role.

Remember Whiteside is in the driver seat of his free agency.

Defense was decent when McBob was here, Ball movement was mediocre, Rotations were better.

Now they're chit, all chit. Sorry he's not Wilt Chamberlain

I wonder if a team would take him and Whiteside though? Like if you're Mavs, you'd take that trade, yeah? Especially since it would probably only take an expiring contract to get both.

EscapoTHB · Post #179 » by **EscapoTHB** » Sat Jan 23, 2016 3:45 am

We're ****. For a long long time. We're basically stuck with Bosh, Dragic, Winslow as our core for the next 8 years. We have no draft picks. There's no free agents to get. It was fun while it lasted I guess. It's going to be fun to suck every year and watch our draft picks go to other teams.

We would have been better off just blowing everything up after Lebron left.

Also I hate our coach. There's a lot of coaches out there that can make teams play better than they are. Spo is great at making talent play down. He's had two seasons post Lebron to come up with a way to use this team, and even when we're healthy we under perform. And when we lose players predictably to injury, there's just nothing that he brings to the table.

I mean if we had Thibs for instance, I doubt we'd be getting blown out every game, regardless of who was on the roster. It's just a sick joke.

Riley should retire, Spo should be fired. Bosh should be traded while he has value before he gets injured. Wade should go ring chase somewhere. So depressed about this team right now. These games aren't even fun to watch. we just get blown out. Over and over and over. And over.

If you mean "we" to be the Miami Heat, we have a first round draft pick next year. This year I'd like to make the postseason. Aside from that I don't expect much.
