„Literally“, i see. As written elsewhere, with all due respect, i dont feel like investing my time here, i‘ve seen many of your previous posts and i dont think we would get anywhere. On top of that we‘ll get to see a whole new coaching approach soon hopefully so there is no merit in looking back. We shall see wether the new coach promotes JMac over Rubio and/or DLo, and parks their contracts to play behind him, as you seem to favor.
For me, as a Rubio fan, i just hope he gets out and into a better situation, so i dont really care wether he plays behind DLo, or JMac, or totally elevates the team as a starter (even though the last scenario would make a trade more unlikely).
You see, this is you talking about things that are meaningless to who is actually a better PG for this team's current plans.
Contracts being parked behind a two way player...
Rubio getting wasted on this mess...
These things aren't about how good a player is. But your post tried to claim a player isn't worthy of starting on this team, or any team. So with all due respect, stick a cork in it next time and just speak truthfully about what drives your opinions.
I also hate to see how Rubio doesn't fit what this team was trying to do. I want him to get out from under it.
I understand the reality of the contracts tied up in Dlo/Rubio making it difficult to see happen. Which is why I hated Rosas undercutting JMac's deal to a level that locks him below others.
But none of those things changes the reality that he's the player best suited to run this team's plans that they have. The only things that keep more people from begging for it is that he was undrafted and that he's shorter. He should have been the #2 behind Dlo this season.
Just stop posting like an arse about it because it lets you favor your dreams for Rubio. You don't have to falsely put one down to post up for Rubio's sake. You should be addressing the scheme if you want Rubio starting here.
I'm sorry but i cant follow your rant, its a bit incoherent and overall biased. You were hyping up DLo first and disrespecting Rubio, now that DLo crapped the bed its suddenyl JMac. You seem to be on an agenda more than me here, but honestly i dont care all that much. Lets see what the new coach brings, and if it remotely resembles anything worth being called an offense, and we see bodies move, i'm pretty confident we'll see who can bring what as a point guard. I hope you get to see more of JMac once Ricky moves to a better situation.
I'm sorry you were caught with your hand in the cookie jar, claiming you knew something negative about a player and we found out it was all about your hope for Rubio to take over here. But that doesn't give you the right to start making up things about me, Jmac, or otherwise.
The reality was the team already traded for Dlo and we all know the Towns tie. That was the teams plan and I believe it was a workable plan within their scheme prior to the offseason moves. We had to learn to accept that decision. Prior to the offseason moves, JMac should have been named the #2 behind Dlo as his play level deserved it. None of that occured, and worse they two-way'd and kept JMac under control but forcing him under not only DLo, but Rubio and two other less than ready players. It's really sad those other two players started the season initiating offense because that had a large factor in why Rubio couldn't get a foot hold in the system as well. It's funny you are reacting to me like I'm against your boy Rubio when that can't be further from the truth. It is just not the right scheme for him and the roster, including Dlo and others now, make Rubio's addition here horrible for him.
Even though I know in my opinion that JMac is the only PG the team has that can do it all offensively and can, without practice, run this back alley make it up as you go system; I still understand the reality of Dlo being here. I have posts begging for JMac's release because of all these offseason moves. But if staying and accepted as capable as the #2, given a contract so casuals understand he is worth that, it would have been fine for his second playing year in the NBA. None of that occured however. And Rubio has looked like garbage most games for a reason. The same reasons JMac occasionally has. The same reason Dlo has. All the same reasons the team looks like the worst of the league. They wouldn't decide for any stretch of games this season to stick with anyone and let them lead this in the best way that works for that leading onball point guard. That's why I claim JMac was best suited here. He's really the only one that can still help be positive for others when the team basically has no leading point defined whatsoever. The other guys all have limitations in what style works for them.
It would be like taking Ben Simmons and asking him to play off ball and shoot 3s here. He would be a zero on offense and just help with defense besides some nice cuts to the basket I suppose. But why would anyone do that? That's the kind of thing Rosas forced to occur here. He added Rubio to a team using no structured play, with rookies and young players low on BBIQ and with no years of playing together. You can't do that to Rubio but they tried. Worse, they played Rubio offball with others iniating the offense. Why? This is all Rosas fault, scheme fault, coach fault. Don't blame me, don't blame JMac, don't blame Dlo. Rubio couldn't handle what they wanted him doing and they never should have asked him to deal with that.
