Byron Mullens

[BossHoggin]

Sup? What do you want me here for?

Read your own posts in this thread. Just wondering if you're ready to admit that your god actually is fallible and made a mistake?

Maybe you should boast after Byron has a good season? Boasting after a decent game makes you look like NYK StateOfMind

Defenses will have a blueprint soon against him.

Oh Fallacy, where are you?

Decent game? Look when the thread was made. Read before you post.

His mid range game has cooled so now he's a beast under the basket getting boards and putbacks.

Presti told him he was a good player that just wouldn't get minutes and he was gonna do him a favor and trade him to a team that would play him. He wasn't really looking for some profit or anything. The only question is why Nazr Mohammed was getting minutes over him to begin with...

Mullens has better numbers than all of the Thunder bigs.

Ibaka: 8/6
Collison: 6/4
Perkins: 6/6
Muhammad: 4/4
Aldrich: 2/1
Mullens: 11/4

Bottom line: Presti is human and he made a mistake. No biggie, but Fallacy refuses to admit it.

Mullens is also the worst defender out of all those you just listed. And those guys are all contributing to a winning team. Presti did Byron a favor.

How can you prove that? And your second point is absurd, how can he contribute to a "winning team", when said "winning team" never played him and traded him to a bottom feeder? Man, you Presti fans are devout, like the Ron Paul clones of the NBA. Presti is human, he mad a mistake. It's okay to admit that the guy doesn't walk on water.

Would BM be the leader for MIP thus far?

Wow. Byron is that you.

The reason I know he is the worst defender out of the players listed is because I have watched every game, every press conference, every scouting report, coaches interview, gm interview and almost every thunder article in the last 3 years. Also I watch some D-League games he was in. Byron is a poor positional defender, he'll get a few blocks, but he is really poor. That is why he never cracked the Thunder rotation. The same with DJ white. Presti did not make a mistake, we still have no spot for Byron. He picked a talented guy. He is just not in the mold that we want. That mold FYI is defense first.

The reason us "presti fans" are so devout is because he has been fantastic. Haters pop up about his picks and trades from time to time and after some time he is proven to have made the correct decision. Eg Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka picks. The Perkins trade. He picked good players in DJ White and Byron Mullens, they never got thier defense up to where we need it. Presti is as good a Gm as you could ask for.

In fairness Byron is a much much better athlete.

Byron seems like he is ballin looking at his stats. If he keeps this pace up of maybe 12 and 5, or even improves that gotta be a favorite for MIP player. Some dejected thunder fans in here, when Mullens may put up better numbers than all their bigs.

not at all. I wish him nothing but the best. He was a great community guy and always had a great demeanor. I hope he becomes an all star, he deserves more opportunity than was available in OKC. I think it proves Presti knows talent. Like has been said. Presti told Byron he was a good player, but would get no opportunity- hence the trade.

Well, yeah but I'd rather have him playing than Nazr Mohammed. Mullens way better than Nazr has done in his ancient career. I guess they prefer his experience, because Nazr isn't even that great a defender I think. They better not do the same thing to Aldrigde, Nazr just eating up young guys minutes.

Do u watch a lot of Bobcats games?? I love what Mullins has brought to the table....but he really does lack a defensive game...and the Thunder already have KD, Westbrook and Harden commanding the ball...i think it was smart of Presti to realize, "Hey this kid might be a solid shooting big man, but doesn't fit into our scheme"....and this is coming from a Bobcats fan, not a Presti fan

[Leolovinliberal]

Good God man, you Thunder fans sound like cult members defending your Dear Leader. Presti is your Warren Jeffs. And can we please stop with this "hater' nonsense? It's tired, played out and lazy. I don't hate him, I think he's the best gm in the league, however, unlike you and Fallacy, I have not made a god out of him, and can acknowledge that he is human and will on occasion make a mistake. He made a mistake by not playing Mullens and giving him away to the Bobcats. BM is better than any big on your roster, but your blind devotion to Dear Leader will not allow you to see that.

I've watched every Bobcat game thus far and what has really impressed me about him, is his ability to adjust and adapt. Lately his jumper hasn't been falling like it was, so he has gone closer to the hoop. He has great post up moves as well. His defense is fine, but I think that a few too many people see a big white guy and assume that he's terrible. Subtle, unintentional bigotry, if you will. He's not great on defense, but he's not awful either.

I literally love this kid. I've been going back and forth on if I think its soon enough for him to be awarded the starting position, but I definitely feel that he (along with DJ White and Bismack) deserves an increase in minutes.

There is no reason to waste those minutes in a player (Diop) who is limited and is so old that he will not be getting too much better or risking re-injury playing a hurt player to which our team has the most money invested (TT).

check out what this genius had to say on ESPN

Timothy Varner, 48 Minutes Of Hell: Byron Mullens is an emerging player, but only in the sense that he is emerging from complete and utter anonymity. As the season progresses, I suspect Mullens will regress back to his career averages.

I guess he's gonna go back to 1.5 ppg 1.5 rpg player despite an ever increasing role in the offense and play time and possibly a starter role in the next week or so. good call bro

Coaches play players not GM's If you want to talk about our coach messing up, then I can go with you on that
