Andray Blatche 

Post#1 » by laduane1 » Sun Aug 19, 2012 7:32 am

Andray Blatche, 6'11. 25 years old. I would love to see him on the Lakers bench. I know he might want more money than the lakers have. Little defense and some insurance in case D12 has to miss some games and all the bigs get moved up in the line up. He would be better than Clark and Hil.

Along with having a low ball IQ. I don't get why guys want to lust after certain guys that just can't help this team. It's like every time some scrub is free we see post listing that guy as a suggestion. Blatche is one of the dumbest, ball hog'in players I've ever seen.

Jordan Hill better than Blatche. Did you watch Hill plays last year ?

No thanks. Hopefully he goes to the heat to further kill some of their chemistry and flexibility instead

San Antonio would be a great place for him to restart his career. He may be a dummy but in his defense he was on a team that pretty much brewed this type of activity. No vets and a FO that really wasnt at the time interested in winning.

A coach like pop or doc is exactly what blatche needs. look at how much mcgee improved under karl. washington just wasnt the right environment for both of those players.

Pop and Duncan would be great for him. Duncan would have somebody to play down low with.

Last time I checked a bench player couldnt kill chemistry especially one that would be playing behind Rashard Lewis

yes it could. even erratic 15th man can destroy team chemistry. Remember, even though scrub didn't play, they're still in team during practice, sit on bench or locker room.

Not really, what evidence do you have of this? Has any scrub player on a team ever destroyed chemistry of a championship caliber team in NBA history? If he even was perceived as an issue Riley would have that dude in the free agent pool faster than he got amnestied.

players do have a way of vastly improving once they leave the wizards. quite possibly he could also.

sure for vet min but I like Hill better for his D and Jamison for his veteran leadership, so he probably might not get much PT or enough to make him happy. Also lil concerning is that since being amenstied, he hasn't gotten much interest, just goes to show talent dont always make up for the other factors of a players character.
