I have some opinions but I think it would be more interesting to hear yours.

So, who do you think is our 4th best player? :hoop:

Haha no my iphone emojis don't show up on the website version of realgm so I guess it just describes the faces i put. Was serious though aside from bone head plays and miller being crippled a lot Mario is prob the best we have in terms of D and O. He's come along way, I'll give him that.

The Horstronaut. Lets us play Lebron at the 4 on offense without giving up much defensively. Spaces the floor as well as anyone, if not better, because teams have to defend him with a 4.

I think there's 2 different answers here. 4th best fit with the big 3 I'd agree is Battier, but purely based on talent as a player, I'd agree its a tossup between Miller (when healthy obviously) and Chalmers, with Ray maybe in there as well.

Well...Miller was huge in Game 5 of the Finals, and clearly he can shoot the ball but you can't be the 4th best if you hardly ever play. You have to take into account what these guys are doing 82 games a year. Whenever you have to add "when healthy" to describe a player's impact, it's really just another way to minimize their faults. If you are better...you just are, there's no "when".

Injury proneness/Health is a major part in how good/valuable a player is.

Battier. Not only does he improve our defense, but our offense becomes godlike when he's on the floor

Fify :D

Srsly though, when Shane is dialed in from 3, I feel like this team is unbeatable. The same could be said for Ray Ray or MM but moreso Shane because of what he brings defensively and his overall Bball Iq. Smartest player in the NBA.


Remember when the finals started and shane started game 1 and 2 hot from 3? And all that ball movement cam outta nowhere? It was at that moment that I finally felt the original plan for the Big 3 had finally come together, having opposing teams pack the paint to keep wade and bron out leaving our 3 pt shooters wide open. Shane made it look so right.

Yeah, that might be more accurate. I remember for most of last year he was sucking from downtown and more than once I heard people say "Why did we sign battier? We should have signed mcgrady". He really came through for us in the playoffs though

Holy **** can you imagine the epic failure if we had signed McGrady??? :lol:

Washed up, bum knees, no D, streaky, no stamina, athleticism gone, shot not falling, not to mention wed have a **** of swingmen, while battier can move between 2-4.

Battier. He brings it on both sides, and he gives the team leadership off the floor. It seems like since he got here, things have settled down a lot--and the team plays a lot smarter. I just hope when he retires, he stays on with the team in some capacity. He should be coach. Or like...President.

Shane is probably the most consistent performer outside the Big Three, but when Rio plays well he's a game changer.
