jameer seems like he has lost some speed to me, but he would make a great backup somewhere. he would make a great backup here too, but what's the point?

that's what i saw as well he's losing a step or two. Maybe he is just in cruise control but man that minny game he got a steal or a tipped ball and was running full speed down the court and he couldn't beat Kevin Love to the basket even though he had a head start.

I would, but with Halloween last night and being out since 6:30am this morning and won't get home until 7-7:30pm, just no time. I can always throw up a quicky if people want me to tho.

BTW downtown was awesome last night!

so much ass in one place lol

I have a hard time believing a team would move a first round pick this year if it's higher than 20. If anyone is deserving of a chance at a title its Jameer so I hope he goes to a contender.

The more and more I read about wiggins not being all he's been hyped up to be, the more I think we MIGHT get lucky and find a team that wants him.

I know wiggins isn't the end all be all but still

I dont want to trade Meer

. Unless he wants to be traded which I would understand if he does. But if he wants to stay I'd rather keep him. No one is gonna trade us a 2014 pick for him anyway. If they do trade him hopefully its not soon. Im going to my first Magic game in December against the Wizards (I live in Baltimore) It be nice to get to see Meer live... Maybe in this case Im such a fan of him that I can't see the big picture

Stats say Jameer is running an avg. of 4.1mph, the same as Paul George and Oladipo, and just 0.1mph behind Chris Paul. He also leads the league in drives to the hoop. I don't think he's lost a step.

A first round pick would be fantastic. No team in their right mind would trade an unprotected or even lightly protected pick for next summer's draft but even if it is a pick that is finally conveyed in 2016...I'd take it in a heartbeat.

Realistic expectations on the restrictions for a first round pick we'd acquire...
2014: Top 20 Protected
2015: Lotto Protected
2016: Top 8 Protected
2017: Unprotected

can you translate that for me because I have no idea what that says? regarding drives to the hoop, i was thinking he does drive but just doesn't beat the defense so openly as he used to.

Nelson knows we're tanking... I doubt he's playing as hard as he would if we were contenders. Just watch how many threes he'll jack up this year - in the last two games he's attempted 18 lol.

The NBA has forced all teams to install tracking cameras in the rafters of each arena. They track how fast a player runs, how far they run, and all sorts of crazy things. Basically what I see is that he isn't a speedster, but is average speed still and happens to be driving the most to the hoop as anyone in the NBA. It seems to go against the notion that a) he's a step slow and b) he doesn't drive.

Yeah, he's jacked a lot of 3s, but he also leads the NBA in drive attempts. That's pretty good, despite him sucking at finishing, he's trying.

I would buy it, but I get off work late or where to pick up. Plus, I never attended a game solo. Usually, games are an event for me and my friends to get wasted and have a good time, lol.

I have a diehard friend who will go on the drop of a hat. But, I have just been so busy lately and catching the game in progress once I finally get home most of the time, lol.

Glenn Davis was shooting around today and said his foot is 100%. Should practice soon and be ready shortly after that.

I'd say no later than 2 weeks probably.
