If milovan rakovic had been elegible I guess I'd have picked him...

Unless Travis Diener had been elegible of course..

In war... Possibly Milicic (some ex-yugoslavians are cold blooded assasins)

Although if I could really choose, I'd choose no fight, I'm a pacifist (in principle)

Isn't Darko Serbian? Also, if we're talking war, I think Hedo is in the Turkish army (please correct me if I'm wrong) or something, so he has military experience.

Serbian = ex-yugoslavian

It's been almost 20yrs since the war and it seems we can't shake that stereotype. Don't know about the war, as Darko has yet to serve in army, though he publicly said to have plans to do. Anyway, serving in army in times of peace and in war is quite different.

Depending on a fight and opponent, I might choose Wallace (calm) or Darko (thug, but gets the attention) as a wingman. Hell, if he could be enlisted as an option, Captain Jack would do some damage for sure.

Darko is and was always a pussay.

If I was in a Bar Fight, it would be Ben Wallace or Shaq hands down. They both can be mean as Mofo's.

Darrell Armstrong or Kyle O'Quinn for my barfight team.

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I've been busy trying to start up my LP's (Let's Plays) on YouTube. It's a lot harder work then you think....

^ I prayed to God that you would come back, and it worked.

I had a realization today and it wasn't good. With the first pick in the 2014 NBA draft...the Boston Celtics select Andrew Wiggins. Being that all things worth gobs of money are contrived and rigged it makes perfect sense to me that the Celtics win the lottery. Stern has already created the specially weighted balls...allegedly.

Nah I think Stern has shown that he's happy to let Boston flounder in their own mess. Toronto is the most fitting place for Wiggins to end up, especially in the hopes of building league prominence in Canada.

But don't rule out Orlando. We haven't been given our makeup #1 for losing Dwight.

I'm not usually the type to look for conspiracy's but throughout the years that I've enjoyed the NBA, I've learned that David J. Stern and Vince McMahon are not very different. We really need a Wiggins type of player in this town again (T-Mac, Penny). That elite scorer and swingman face of the franchise.

They just got the AS game in 2016 too, time to set them up for a good showing.

No way Wiggins ends up in Toronto. They have way too much talent to get a top 5 pick.

You know who I would like to see get a chance? Jimmer Fredette...I wouldnt be upset if Henny moved Moore for him. Just thinking out loud sorry.

BadMofoPimp · Post #694 » by **BadMofoPimp** » Wed Sep 25, 2013 2:41 pm

I like Moore. He will be a solid backup swingman for years in the NBA.

not a believer in Fredette. wont be more than a backup PG. stands less than 6'1 barefoot, 6'2 in shoes (almost a 2 inch heal difference). not great athleticism or defense.

I can't take this lack of Magic news. Will one of you PLEASE make up a story and post it here with a lengthy explanation of how you got it from an unimpeachable superduper inside source? And maybe make up a few fake accounts and use them to support your original made-up rumor?

It's clearly the only moral solution to this problem.

Moore is AWFUL

he moves around like he has weighted shoes.

shooting fell off towards the end of the season.

doesnt penetrate, Forced Jameer into 36 mpg at age 31.

no to Moore.

You surely must not be watching the same team I was watching. Moore is young, drove to the basket many times with that nice floater he made quite often and shot very well at times from the (3). He played better defense than Meer and at no point did I see Meer playing 36mpg for extended periods of time. Plus, Moore is a minimum player in his 3rd year I think in the league. I would rather develop a player like Moore than waste it on a slower player with worse defense like Fredette.

I dont really know much about fredette so I'am not arguing for him. Moore was better on defense than Jameer, But at this point a sturdy chair could probably fare better at that end than jameer.

Your inaccuracies could be remedied by simple research. Jameer averaged 35.3 mpg on the season.

Moore was better defensively than Jameer, but overall that advantage is squelched by his horrawful offense. 10.8 PER on the season. .396 fg% and 34 from 3. All well below league averages. not to mention he rarely gets assists too.

imo he isnt worth developing. He just doesn't look quick enough for an nba guard and Lamb is more intriguing to me.

but it doesnt matter. Dipo will be taking all their minutes.

Eh, we are talking about Minimum salary 3rd stringers here. Moore is cheap and can fill a need for short spurts when called upon. He ain't that bad and doesn't need to be more than that.
