LeBron would pwn Joey, as big as Joey is...


Joey's already got the eye poke down...

But Lebron knows Kung Fu...

And it would end badly...

Joey's so dumb he'd probably follow LeBron back to the Cavs...

Joey is lost cause. He should just stick to waving those white towels like the rest of the bench warmers during highlight plays. He's had his chances over the years and failed to capitalize on them. Plus it's not like he came out of college after 1 year...he was there for ages so he should have been more NBA ready.

i dont think he can ever reach his potential on this raptor team,
i really like what he brings to the table, but he also needs room to grow and improve, u cant give a guy random mins here n there and expect greatness. he flopped hard in the play offs, but on a basement team i could see this guy expand his game

too many good 2s and 3s on this team for Joey to get minutes and prove his worth.

The simple answer, no.

He's had chance after chance and still couldn't put together two solid games. He may stick around in the NBA but he'll never be more then a 11th to 15th man on the bench.

I think he can contribute in an enforcer type role where maybe the team is not bringing toughness or energy one night and you can insert Joey to throw his body around for 2-3 minutes ignoring the fouls.

I feel bad for the tonne of Joey-bashing in which I have engaged, because he seems like a decent kid, but the reality is that he will struggle to get another guaranteed contract. He can't even hope for a team to take a low-cost, multi-year flier on him because of youth: after next season, he will be 27.

His skillset does not translate particularly well to Europe either...I hope that he has invested wisely over the past three years, because training camp invites and 10-days might be in his future.

Tonight's (Tuesday) game against the Wiz. gives you your answer!!!

NOOOOOOOOO!!!

He had zero contributions on either end of the floor. Bad, Bad shot selection with no attempt to beat his man off the dribble or shooting when he should be driving. He was blocked twice in two consecutive possesions!!

On defense no box on his man two out of four possessions leading to baskets.

Total frustration watching him play!!!!

Again after tonight, the answer is clearly no. He brings nothing to the Raptors at this point.
