It says that he's really good. Rubio would be our best defender after MKG.

Damn. Brook Lopez out for the season with a broken foot. Everybody going down.

Biyombo is a solid shot blocker. Has a little bit of a ways to go defensively. Physical tools are obviously there, defensive principles not so much

Rubio isn't no great defender anyhow. He's better than you would expect by looking at him but he's no Gary Payton or Mookie Blaylock.

Only thing that goes up is Atlanta's future. They are going to get an amazing pick this summer. They got a 2014 1st from Brooklyn for trading JOE JOHNSON.

Atlanta is going to be our arch rivals in the upcoming years. I'm already building some animosity or envy towards them but it's more competitive nature than dislike.

Has a thrown together superteam ever gone worse then the Nets right now?

That team has so many flaws its crazy. Age hurts them on the court and in coaching, Jason Kidd is nowhere near ready to coach a team. KG didn't even play last night and I'm pretty sure the only guy that was worth getting was Paul Pierce. He played pretty well last night

half their team needing days off can't help. Kevin Garnett is averaging like 7 points a game on like 37fg%. I realize he's old, but damn...that's horrible.

Minny are struggling and what's up with Rubio.

DAMMIT, Lopez out for season...dammit dammit dammit. At least I got Blatche.

Do anybody still want to trade Kemba or Biz for Shumpert? :lol:

Anyway I just wanted to say that he's been beyond bad, terrible, horrible, or any word like those lately. I can't remember the last time he went over 2 points and he's their starting SG.

Marvel · Post #1215 » by **Marvel** » Sat Dec 21, 2013 9:55 pm

Shump has been abysmal. He's not genuinely this bad, but he has struggled to say the least, but that Knicks team is a complete hot piece of turd mess.

thruthefire · Post #1216 » by **thruthefire** » Sat Dec 21, 2013 9:58 pm

Did anyone actually say they wanted to trade Kemba for Shump? Because I certainly don't remember reading that.

Marvel · Post #1217 » by **Marvel** » Sat Dec 21, 2013 10:02 pm

I do recall someone on here wanted to trade for Shump, just can't remember who for.

I remember it clearly. Also remember someone saying that New York would decline. :lol:

I'd trade Kemba for 74 Iman Shumperts

I'd trade Kemba for one Iman Shumpert that produces 74 times as much as Iman Shumpert.
