Scola is back up by Hill, Patterson, and Jeffries.
Ariza is back up by Battier and Harris.
Martin is back up by Budinger and Taylor.
Brooks by Lowry only.

we're still an all star short of being contenders. if we dont make a trade this offseason we'll make one by the deadline, hopefully no later than december.

morey wants a 3rd pg, but i dont htink we should, being in the lux tax. if one of our pgs go down we can sign players to 10 day contracts.

I don't think Harris will make the team. Maybe Chuck will get some minutes at the 3...

This team is so deep, they can play different style verus different team.

Post #8 » by **Mr. E** » Sun Jul 18, 2010 3:07 pm

Not just deep, but we have a lot of versitile players. We're going to be able to cause matchup problems for everyone we play with the various lineups we're capable of putting on the floor.

And do you know what really rocks about that? Our team is filled with "team-oriented" guys who aren't going to whine about minutes. We've got a good set of players here.

i wanna know what kind of sick world you live in thinking michael beasley is better than shane battier or johnny flynn over kyle lowry or webster? over chase budinger.

and even at 34 i would put brad miller atleast even with Darko. He's probably better but I will cut you a little bit of slack since you're a noob (probably just a troll)

That's arguable. And really? You're assuming a rookie Johnson is going to be more productive than Bat? Also where's Taylor?

I'd be really interested what stats those assertions are made from.

Are they written down in crayon and surrounded by stick figure drawings, perchance?

i didnt want to be a dbag troll , the david kahn reference was good.... but darko isnt better than brad miller, i didnt realize i was lookin at millers playoff stats, my fault. but

flynn~~lowry ~ ~ beasley battier ~ ~ webster budinger
13.5 ~ ~9.1 ~ ~ ~ 14.8 ~ ~ 8 ~ ~ ~ ~ 9.4 ~ ~ 8.9 ~ pts
2.4 ~ ~3.6 ~ ~ ~ 6.4 ~ ~ 4.7 ~ ~ ~ ~ 3.3 ~ ~ 3.0 ~ rbnds
4.4 ~ ~4.5 ~ ~ ~ 1.3 ~ ~ 2.4 ~ ~ ~ ~ .8 ~ ~ 1.2 ~ assists

i think theyre all argueable..... im just the contradictor..... i suppose being the rebuttle to the houston fan is bein a troll? so my bad

And yet a Lowry-Taylor-Budinger-Hill-Jeffries lineup had a better winning % than the Wolves.

Flynn put up those numbers as a starter; Lowry as a bench player.
Beasley may have had better numbers, but ask ANY GM who's the better defender or who has better intangibles. Guess what: they'll say Battier, 30 times out of 30.
Webster-Budinger? Again, Webster was a starter most of the year, Budinger was a rookie off the bench.

Long story short: the three guys you listed underachieved; ours have a history of overachieving.

Of course, problem with Beasley is unless he starts putting up 30/15 seasons, anything he does will be an underachievement.

No not as long as there is merit to what you're saying.

Yeah i must agree with you on this one. I think he'll be compared to Kevin Durant being his successor as Big 12 POY. Too bad for him.
