    He had a very solid 4-5 year stretch, but hes just gotten less efficient each year. Its not like hes too old which leaves me to question; wtf is going on with him?

    Too small. Too inefficient. Doesn't defend.

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    I agree. For the right price, he would be amazing. He can score and facilitate. The other night he had 27pts/ 17ast/ 8 reb/ 5stls. But he is likely going to get payed pretty heavily by teams looking for that scoring punch.

    i wonder if he'll take less money to go to a better team or if somebody like the bobcats or magic offer him the max

    Doesnt fit our team but if he played d he coulda been one of the best players in the league

  13. #13
    Well he is 4th in the league in steals. Maybe its just the system he has been a part of. It can't help playing with jennings.

    If he's smart, he'll take less money and play the "guy off the bench who can win you a game with a crazy shooting night" role for a contender. He would excel in limited minutes with no other responsibility than to score.

    Wanted him on the team before we got Gordon. Then we got Gordon. Then me no really like Gordon anymore. So...why not?

  16. #16
    Yeah I agree he doesn't fit. If he was 6-7 and could play SF then maybe so!

  17. #17
    If we could sign him for 8 mill a year or under, I'd be down.

    Guy that's 6'7" and that athletic great from mid-range and attacking the basket? Sounds like DeMar DeRozan.

    God, I hope the Raptors would be willing to part with him. Give Terrence Ross some PT or something. I dunno.

    Eman loves his high flyers, so his judgement is clouded when it comes to Derozan

    Maybe he's just desperate for some talent. I know most of us are.

    ellis
    Deroazan
    Aminu

    how u know he loves New Orleans?

  25. #25
    Im also a high derozan guy.
    Averages 18-4-3
    He is only 23
    Shoots a good field goal percentage at 44%
    Has a great mid range game, great dunker and finishing through contact
    Excellent FT shooter at 83% which is why he might be such a great mid range shooter, only shoots 25% from 3 but has nice form and could improve but will never be a knockdown 3point shooter.
    One thing that bothers me is for huge big, long and athletic he is, he isn't a good defender, but I think Monty could fix that.
