Exactly. Battier is great if we're just one good role player away. But we're not.
I love T-Mac, but I don't want a 5 rebound per night guy playing the power forward position very much. "It's going to end up a pretty good...
Is there anything that any player can do that Yao and McGrady can't do? Gay is a good shooter, can get to the hoop and is an athletic freak. We...
we've made the playoffs once and didn't get out of the first round. Tmac and Yao with some talent around them, now we're talking. Unfortunately we...
You also completely spun the question. That's not an apples to apples comparison. JJ is going to put up better stats if he plays twice as many...
Miami is not a team of super athletes or incredibly quick however, they are still much quicker/athletic than us. Their best player is one of the...
What makes you think he makes stars better if he's never played with stars?
I don't consider what you described closing the gap on the Spurs and Mavs. You should also throw in the Suns.
I wouldn't call losing Rudy Gay and Stromile "10/5" Swift while gaining Shane "10/5" Battier closing the gap on anyone.
that's probably the fundamental difference between you and those that are okay with the trade versus me and those that hate the trade. i wish...
I'm saying that if Rudy Gay has a career like Shane Battier, he'll be considered a marginal bust. I do think there is value to smart, experienced...
we also had assets to trade with (Francis, Mobley). outside of T-Mac and Yao we don't have much to work with this time.
Spurs = Half Court Team but Still fairly Athletic/Quick They might have the quickest player in the league in Tony Parker
I meant a complimentary player that has joined T-Mac and Yao. My point is that most players when they join the 2 superstar system (Yao and T-Mac)...
You also need talent and athleticism. This trade did not help our team which is less athletic and talented than the Heat and more importantly...
-Name a Rocket that has improved his stats since joining the Rox and our system of two stars? -Why does everyone talk about this guy as if he...
Stats don't tell the story, but I've never heard of a career 10/5 guy that wasn't on a championship contender that was so coveted. 10/5 is 10/5....
Every time we add a guy most of the board says "expect ______ to put up better numbers since he'll be left open because of Yao and T-Mac." I don't...
I believe the slowest team in the NBA just got slower. Got to love that when the teams above us...Spurs, Suns, Mavs were already a lot quicker...
If Gay does 10/5 for his career like Battier has people will call him a bust. With that out of the way, I believe we have the oldest and...
