Please help settle this debate.



Don't look now but as of today I am winning the argument!!!

Trevor Booker got traded from a hapless Nets team and cut from a borderline playoff 76ers team because he wasn't worth a roster spot. So this was clearly wrong.

I will acknowledge that this upcoming season is up for debate as Frank has looked quite bad in preseason. I still find it very unlikely that Booker will surpass him this season.

Long term is anyone's guess, I'm not all that interested in having an in-depth conversation about who will be better five years from now as I think that conversation might detract from the initial premise that Frank was more valuable than Booker LAST SEASON.

Once we have established Frank's position of superiority last year, perhaps we can move to a "who has more future potential" discussion. Again, I believe it is Frank...though I won't rule out the possibility completely that Booker develops into a very good player.


18 to your 1. Are you ready to stop quardrupling down on a dumb statement?



Or should I quintuple it now that I'm right at the moment?

Look at the results from the poll...enough said.



Apparently too much was assumed and not enough was said! Or certainly not heard!

Frank FTW!

He's not perfect on that end and still makes some mistakes, but is light years ahead of where he was last year. It's easy to parrot what everyone was saying last year. Need to see him now.


Looks like you spoke to soon. "Light years" ended up being millimeters

Clifford has screwed our lineups up completely. Let's see if things get right now with Batum back.

How's this going? Are you still doubling down on this comparison? Has Batum come back yet to help Frank take his game to the next level?



Going well. You got cocky too soon. Image
