This is a new low for me. I am arguing with a 12 year old that thinks making team USA after 30 players rejected is the greatest accomplishment ever.
switching gears for just a moment since I enjoy your writing style and respect your knowledge and opinions.... pertaining to your article about obtaining Bazemore and Dudley through FA and then going out and taking a shot with Ashley..... just curious as to whether there would be a way to reasonably tweak things and roll with Nicholson instead of Ashley.... thoughts?

I would love to get Deng. He would fit very well and is some who really excels playing the small ball 4. He has some really good years left and could give us exactly what we need until we find out long term option in a year or two whenever it comes if ever. I have a feeling we might be trying to get a deal done with GS for Iggy if they need to dump him. Would love to maybe to a 3 team deal sending Reke somewhere with Iggy coming here along with whatever else from us and the 3rd team to GS that makes it work: if we could dump Reke this would still allow us to pursue a big FA like Barnes, Batum or even Deng. A finishing lineup of Jrue/Hield/Iggy/Deng/AD would be a damn good group. Possibly swapping Deng out with one of the other FAs. Iggy has a great relationship with Jrue and they played very well together along with knowing Gentry as well as the system. I could see GS doing a deal with us with the relationship Gentry has with the organization unless he really wants to go somewhere else if he's just getting moved and they agree to give him some other options. No matter what IMO we come away with a starting SF this offseason wether it's a trade or FA signing.
We have stop with all the facts too. You have to project sometimes as well. What do teams do with young players that get drafted, we "project" how they will play. Players do get better as they age as well, look at Bazemore or crowder as a couple that matured a little later. So let's not hate on everyone's opinions and only go with stats. We all want what's best for the team and players we are trying to grab we have to project them being better with our team or why go after them.
Y'all act like we will magically get some star!! The only way that happens if someone like Barnes becomes one or we trade someone like Barnes with a pick to get one!!
Lol if he's trash you boy Bazemore is no better. Whatever you say is gospel though so we have to take it as fact. I have an opinion on someone I think will be a good fit while everything you say is stated more as a fact then opinion. Funny someone who is trash is going to demand a max contract. That makes total sense that people who have forgotten more basketball then you will ever know feel this way about him. Also trash doesn't get on team USA. I'm sure you will have some excuse how he's a reserve of a reserve of a reserve for a reserve lol. Atleast Bronco brings a decent argument instead of position a couple of % stats to make his point but ignores any other stat that says he is better than Bazemore. He also gives an opinion and doesn't act like anyone who doesn't agree with him is just a fool and knows no basketball. Put your $ where your mouth is and make a bet on who performs better next year. I'll bet you whatever you want Barnes has a better season than Bazemore.
Are you that obsessed with me? When did I ever argue with you? You keep feeling the need to make comments to make yourself feel a little better I guess becasue you have offered nothing to the conversation other than being a cheerleader for others. Because I think someone is a good fit means I'm a 12 year old or 2 year old lol. Looks like your the one showing your immaturity with this obsession to keep talking about me when nothing is being said to you lol. Angry little fella you are.
Y'all don't think having an improving 24 year old small forward is a GREAT asset to have?? He will likely get better IM, I won't say in my damn opinion but just by LOGIC!! If he doesn't become a fringe All Star like I think, he may get us one!! Will Bazemore(26 & short), Dudley(30 and average to below), or any of those other free agent small forwards possibly fetch a star with a pick or multiple picks??
So now we've went from "Barnes won't get the max he will get 18m and is good value at that price" to "He must be good to be getting offered the max"
Smh.
Who has made Team USA that isn't an All Star or fringe All Star?? And Laettner doesn't count cause that was a different circumstance.
Haha! f I can't win! You try to argue for 2 different point of view on a player and you get chastised for it!! Yes he sucks!! Let's sign Bazemore!! He's been more consistent throughout the years!! CHAMPIONSHIP!!
Bazemore wasn't likely to even be on coach K's radar LOL! Try to argue with facts and well he was lucky to make the team!! Well they should of asked Bazemore, Dudley, Williams, Turner, Green, or whatever other small forwards that are free agents to play since they are equal to him. Some are going on 30 and I haven't heard them been mentioned in prior years. Wonder why? This kid made it at 24! I give him props cause that's a big achievement in my eyes. Has Ryan Anderson ever made one? Eric Gordon may have but I don't feel like looking. Has Jrue? Maybe so, but since it isn't that big of deal who cares!! MAGIC freaking JOHNSON said that was his most proud moment EVER in basketball!! No big deal it's just playing for the country!!
The argument isn't just Bazemore VS Barnes.
It's Bazemore @ 16-18m VS Barnes @ 22+m.
