I never knew so many people were so easily swindled, lol. I thought it was clearly seen as a joke to play along with TDJacksonville & j-ragg on MasterGMer

I also warmed up to that Tyreke Evans idea. I think there's potential there. Especially for merely JJ and Harrington. Let Jameer sit on the bench.

I'll never understand why people hate jameer? He plays hard shows loyalty he's a decent player. Let's reward his loyalty and hard work by benching him. I don't agree with you. Let's bench hedo someone who's actually not productive and play Evans at the 3 like he did in sac.

I don't hate Jameer. As a matter of fact, I love Jameer. What I meant by "let Jameer sit on the bench" was let him be 6th man. I think if we were to add Evans, I'd like to season him at point guard, use him like OKC uses Westbrook. Then let Jameer come in and have Evans slide to the 2.

I assume if we got Evans, our starting backcourt would be Evans/Afflalo, before Jameer/Evans or Jameer/Afflalo. No knock on Jameer. I would just like that rotation better.

Jameer is hard to completely like because he's just so inconsistent. The guy can definitely play but he's just sometimes not there. Maybe without having to try to facilitate the inside out game, Meer will be a different player for the better. It will be interesting to see.

Because he sucks and is overpaid. He never showed loyalty. That's why he opted out. He was looking out for himself. I'll gladly take him as a 6th man but his ability to pass, make others around him better, control the tempo of the game, be a floor general, and defend the point are all weak points for him. He can score... but that's it. He's overrated because of it.

Anyone concerned that we're hiring these no-name/no-experience assistants to sit the bench with our new-to-coaching...coach? Normally, when a first-time coach is hired, he fills out his staff with veteran assistants; not in this case.

i dont know much about brett gunning, but this statement made me feel much better

Gunning served as an assistant at Villanova for seven seasons, and was recognized as one of the top 325 assistants in the nation by rivals.com

I'm not complaining for the losses, but how are we to develop our talent when the staff is just as new as they are to the NBA.
