Kidd plays within himself, you rarely see him take bad shots. Kidd is missing wide open looks so really can't complain.

Felton is taking awful shots to the point where Clyde had to call him out.

Scrub? Lin just hasn't been used properly with Houston for most of the season. Recently, Mchale has started to figure out what lineups to play and how to use Lin and he has been tremendous. Lin should probably thank this team though because ever since the Knicks game he has been playing with a lot of confidence.

Rockets would scoff at that offer.

if Williams and Lin, whove both played like dog shyt for the majority of the year and whos teams have middling records can make it, why not Ray? Go back to the Suns board.

I agree he's forcing the issue
He's trying to do too much

But he has played well most of the year. He will get back to form.

We look a lot better offensively when he's not in the game.

What a joke of a post. Our offense is worse when he's not in the game, it turns into Iso-JR. Prigs can't penetrate into the paint, and it makes our offense so jumpshot reliant.

Our offense ironically looked better with JR running the offense today. Prigs has been playing better lately, shooting with confidence and being aggressive when he has to.

I really believe he's got a fracture and playing because he's one of the leaders-by-example, on this team, of injured players.

Aggresive? The only time Prigs seems like he shoots is when teams go under the pick. Anyway, my point is he can't penetrate into the paint effectively right now so IDK how you can say our offense looks better without him.
JR also played a great game, and he's been almost everything you want in a sixth man this year, but he's not cut-out to be a PG. In the end, our best lineup is one with Felton at the point.

JR has played thru a pulled back muscle in his lower back, somehow manages to win a game on the road. Felton has a bad finger but is playing thru it too. As long as they're cleared to practice, they're playing. Kidd was out for for 2 and even he may be hurting from other small injuries.
So Felton has to tough it out.

Got to be one of the worst trades I've seen on RealGM, and I've seen some bad ones.

He has been tremendous for the past 3 games. He was also great against the Spurs when James Harden was out. I expect his play to remain stable since Mchale is starting to slowly figure out this team, the rotation, etc.

Rockets would laugh at a Felton-Lin swap considering how Lin is better and generates more revenue for the franchise.

Jennings will shine in practice tho, since he only plays real well against us. And Copeland will kill Gooden in the paint or out. Felton, starting point guard on the 1 team in the East, deserves better.

None of our three point guards would even be starters on good teams. This is a recipe for failure. Why pay three mediocre point guards around $11m per year rather than trying to get a good one on $8-10m per year and getting a backup on a minimum contract. Very poor. Can't expect Melo to keep on bailing us out game after game.

Last I checked Felton was the starting pg for a 20-7 team that has been decimated by injuries

Felton is just moving back towards his career shooting numbers after a hot start.
