Ok Debbie Downer I would rather have Shabazz over Roberts any day of the week at least Shabazz has potential to become something.

Ya because why would we want a guy who has potential to become a solid PG over Roberts who is a liability every time he steps on the floor. Your UCONN hatred is showing its colors once again. What else is new. Your right lets resign Roberts and give PJ 15 MPG so he can brick 5 3's a night.

Lol. You get way too emotional about the UCONN guys. Its rather humorous.

Anywho, back on topic. I'd rather have Lin over any of them.

I dont care where he went to college he was drafted by the Hornets and traded for PJ who has been garbage. I would like Lin too but I heard today on ESPN radio he was about to sign with Mavericks I believe.

To be honest Napier has been garbage as well. They both have been garbage. I'd probably rather have Napier though. At least he looks the part of an NBA player at times.

PJ is also a good bit younger than Napier (Napier turns 24 in a week, PJ turns 23 in December) for those that care about such things.

They both have been awful.

If DJ is the douche he appears to be then Lin may not want to go to the Mavs anymore. Hopefully we can make a move for him.

Not trying to turn this into a debate but Napier has better stats on pretty much every category including FG% which is supposed to be PJs main job, Shoot the ball. All I was saying is that there are no good PG's in free agency right now and Roberts is hot garbage. It wouldn't have hurt to have kept shabazz and hoped he became a solid backup. I dont know about you but I wouldn't exactly miss PJ either.

Never thought Shabazz would be much of a pro. He actually kind of reminds me of a rich mans Brian Roberts tbh. Id give up PJ in a heartbeat for him, but we should try to do better. Im pretty worried about our second unit.
