bucknersrevenge wrote:One not so small thing about the acquisition of this player. Brad has talked this year and in the past about not just adding talent but the RIGHT kind of person to this lockerroom. Tillman is married with 2 kids. He adds to a lockerroom with a lot of "family men". Jrue is married with 2 kids. Derrick is as well Al also. Tatum isn't married but his family including both parents and his son is a big part of everything he does. I believe KP is engaged. Sam got married last offseason. Even Brissett has a longtime girlfriend. I think JB and Pritchard may be the only guys in our regular rotation who are either married nor have kids and may not be connected to anyone (correct me if I'm wrong).
Point is, I don't think it's coincidence that Brad keeps acquiring guys like this. Hoopers who love to ball and then go home to their families. Not to say that if you're not married or have kids you're distracted but there's a very big family dynamic on our roster.

the family men are probably more mature, more team-oriented, less selfish, less focused on themselves and their own stats, their own personal glory..less likely to be a loose cannon, screws loose, locker room cancer type..

0.958 Points Per Shot (must blow some dunks). Championship Teams, at the TEAM LEVEL, typically average over 1.3 Points Per Shot.
On the bright side, in 20.6 mpg he averages
4.6 Rebounds

1.8 Fouls
So, perhaps offers some defense. LIsted at 6' 7" and 25 years old.

I agree with this. Total waste of picks. Would have been better giving Queta the extra mins.

My dislike for Harden is strong. If he ever becomes a Celtic, I'll consider becoming a Lakers fan.

Yeah, for a second I thought Brad was re-compensating Memphis for taking on Marcus Smart in the Porzingis deal, but with Smart missing a lot of time to due to various new injuries. Preposterous I know, but the thought crossed my mind.

He's a plus defender big time and an energy guy. On offense, his best attribute is his passing. On a team with a ton of talented players around him. He may really thrive as an energy guy, defender, and ball mover.

Yes it's a highlight video, but he makes a few passes that none of our bigs can make (maybe Al?)
