PER is a made up statistic that has it's flaws just like every other stat in a certain context. It's great for evaluating 2 players with similar skill sets, but saying how much PER per game someone gave up, come on now.Quote:

His ideal frontcourt partner is Anderson, who has the offensive skillset of a sharpshoting wing but lacks skills to defend the perimiter. Aminu is his exact contrast, having the offensive skillset of a reboudning, put-back bigman but better suited at defending the perimter.Quote:

Combine that with a mobile bigman like Smith who is kinda a middle ground to both of their skillsets, and you have the makings of a great rotation of the two. -
07-01-2013, 03:50 PMRheem654Good call, I was just thinking of this mutual trade as probably the best we can get for Gordon at this point and Deng fits the SF need and provides that veteran leadership that people talk about with the Iguodala option.Quote:

Center in Lopez. Re-sign ol' boy Aminu for a better-suited back-up energy PF/SF; and maybe a cheap 3rd string C option.
Davis/ Smith/ Amundson
Anderson/ Aminu
Deng/ Miller/ Athlete
Evans/ Martin/ Mason Jr.
Holiday/ Rivers/ Jackson -

I don't think the Kings will let him go for the price the reports are coming out with.

Here's the deal, we have an owner in place who wants to win not in the future, but now. He's up there in age and would like to see his NBA team become as successful as his NFL one has. He's going to spend some money doing it.

07-01-2013, 03:51 PMnolaslim213I think you are missing the concept that we're signing him as a SF. We would sign a cheap SF to start (maybe bring back Aminu), then bring Evans off the bench at the 3. He'd also play the 3 for us during crunch time at the end of games (last 5 minutes or so).Quote:

is that better? -
07-01-2013, 03:53 PMTBlazeYou're right... I forgot about him. He'll definitely get his 30+ minutes... that's for sure. The main point being that whoever gets the nod at the 3 will be playing less minutes than Lopez... almost like a true 6th man minutes somewhere around 15-18 per game. Lopez could also see a solid 5 minute cut from the 28-30 he was averaging to almost under 25. Which is still good.Quote:

The New Orleans Pelicans' offer sheet to Tyreke Evans is four years and $48 million, according to @sam_amick. Wow.

Which one of these stats that tries to prove your point am I supposed to believe. Again I watched the game and it was my opinion that Davis struggled when he was defending starting caliber centers.Quote:

Hopefully this is not true. If it is, I am getting concerned that Demps may need Stern to slap him back to reality again.Quote:
