I would be very pleased if Harkless ends up like George/Batum.

Jameer is a better field general. Anyways, it is not that I don't like Brandon's play, it is that I don't like him on this team. I don't like his "me-first, chuck as many as I can" personality. He is not the leader of that team. I feel he would have terrible chemistry on this team and be a bad influence on the young guys. But, I hope he has a great career.

^Hey MagicTownBaller

Would you like to take care of the next Spec. Thread? I would do it, but I don't think I'll be back home in time before it hits 100pgs.

I don't think so. Generally, we like the spec thread to hit 99-100 pages before we make the next one.

And if anybody else wants to take a stab at the next spec. thread, then have at it. Just make sure you give us a heads up in this thread that you are doing so. That way we eliminate any confusion.

Big Baby won me over with his Character, leadership and defense. He makes the game entertaining to watch even when he makes mistakes. But, many times he usually makes up for them mistakes with great plays. Even though this team is tanking, I find the games exciting partially because of BBD. And, he will prove ya'll wrong!!!

I would be happy to try to create the next thread but not sure how to get everything copied over like we have on the initial threads such as page count and whatever

Glenn wants to give a shot at it. Hopefully, DJ can afford to put him on the payroll.

Do you think it can be tough for young players who come into the league with expectations thrust upon them while also having things handed to them without having to work through things? Are things taken for granted?
It’s very true. I kind of think it determines the outcome of your career in a sense. Most importantly, the outcome about how you feel about your career. Some guys are handed starting roles or larger contracts or things that other guys have to earn. Honestly, kids that worry about struggles sometimes should really appreciate them. If you truly have to earn what you receive, you won’t take it for granted.

Found it applicable to the young guys on our team.
