The only discount we're getting is at the Holiday Inn.

His career 3pt% is 36.5, 1.8% higher than Jennings, who, as has been discussed, is not a good 3pt shooter, and while he's better than Rose defensively, he has not had a season in which he had a positive defensive contribution (with the exceptions of 2014 and 15 where his DRTG was actually better than his ORTG, but was still worse than average).
I just don't see why we can't have continuity for once in the last 20 years

Better player wasn't the right term. I think holiday is the better fit.

I'm all for continuity but what are we going to pay DRose?

What are we going to pay Holiday?

Probably 20 mil. Might be significantly less than DRose.

Jeff practically willing to give up one his own - not named Abby - for Jrue

He pretty much described all the things we need and what Rose doesn't do :lol:

Run an offense, pass the ball, and defend

A shame that he might actually be even more injury prone than Rose.

I have no words if vujacic ends up starting again... been happy with Jeff overall, but starting vujacic is inexplicable.

Should be another nail biter since we don't blow anyway due to our inability to play any kind of nba level defense.

Pelicans win, AD has big game, KP has "ok" game, much hand wringing and advanced whining goes on in 40 page post game thread, largely due to those two facts.

I'm not sure if he's a better player, but Jrue would seem like a better fit next to Melo & KP. A better facilitator, better defender, better shooter, can still get you 20 if you need it.

If we were lucky enough to acquire him somehow while keeping our core intact, I'd start Jrue and let DRose be the monster go to 6th man scoring machine we solely lack with our bench unit.

Let's hope DRose can start doing some of those things. He's been solid and I'm grateful for the positive play for once from the PG position. If he can start to do the things you mentioned, wverybody wins.

A little birdie told me who it was from.

It's supposed to be a secret, but I'll let you guys have one little clue: rhymes with barlow.

What is the ceiling for Baker?

In the Suns game, in the 4th, obviously we used him too much and he tried to do too much in the end. But if harnessed the right way, I think he can be a good player for us.

Wonder how much Jrue is gonna get I wouldn't mind giving him the same type of contract we gave Noah.

he's getting more than that. not a penny under $20m/season. and that's the low end. someone might think to max that man.

On a scale of 1 to 1,000 how confident are you that we're going to win this game?

Thinking about betting on the Knicks +3, because I'm stupid and bet with my heart.

I think we play well coming off a shittyy loss. But still, on the road and playing a team, and we're still struggling to find consistency, on both ends. So the smart move would be to NOT bet.

Melo should be rested.

+3 Points, even on the road, I like our spot here.

THIS SHOULD BE A DAMN WIN.
