Sad news about Isiah Austin and the Marfan Syndrome....


Another example of why you should strike while the iron's hot and DECLARE FOR THE DRAFT.



Other examples include:

Marcus Smart (slipped from #2 to possibly #8)

Glen Robinson III (slipped from lottery to possibly 2nd round)

Mitch McGary (slipped from lottery to possibly 2nd round)

McAdoo (slipped from lottery to possibly 2nd round)

Austin was going to declare last year but he tore his Posterior Labrum. Marcus Smart stayed a year to mature and spent his time throwing temper tantrums, there's a big difference.
 
Patty Mills?

Seriously guys?

Patty is great where he's at. He comes off the bench and becomes Eddie House for 15 mins.

Patty as a starting PG? Will clearly become the scapegoat for all of our losses next year.

If you expect Patty to become a really good pg as a starter for the Jazz, then You'll be sorely disappointed.

Some guys, are just 100x better as 6th men than they ever were as starters... Bobby Jackson, Eddie House, Howard Eisley, Jarret Jack, JJ Barea, Manu Ginobli, Jamal Crawford, Patty Mills...

I strongly agree with this.

Except Manu would be good no matter what role they had him play. I'm mainly just agreeing with what you said about Mills.

You think Trey Burke is a better starter than Patty Mills?!?!?!?

Manu has been played for most of his career as a starter... He comes off the bench but plays big mins especially in the 4th qtr. and I agree, Manu would be good at anything (when healthy).

However, I think Patty needs to come off the bench and play in a certain system. He rarely creates for anyone. In fact, I don't think I've ever see him initiate the offense. However, like Terry and House, he's an amazing finisher.

Personally, if I'm Patty, unless I get a significant raise elsewhere, I'm staying in SA. It's a great situation. Come in for 20 mins, launch a few 3s, low pressure, everyone loves you, and play deep into the playoffs.
 
So then how the hell is using Burke to get the player we want in this draft, then replacing him with Patty Mills a bad move?

Patty Mills shoots ****ing Reggie Miller %'s.... Trey Shot 38% from the Field and 30% from 3...

Do ya know how much money its gonna cost to replace favors in Free Agency? Ask Marcin Gortat.

wanna know how much its gonna cost to replace what Alec Burks can bring to the table next season? ask Lance Stephenson.

Trey is easily replaceable, Patty Mills was my 4th option at PG this offseason

Who said that it was a bad move?
 
Patty is cool but I'm not sure he'd run a team better than Burke. I think we need to see more Burke P n R before we give up on him. I'd probably trade Burke for pick 7 or 8 just cause its a good value but I wouldn't think its a steal. PGs second years are crucial... I think after this year we'll know for sure what Burke will be.

I'd do the Burke and 5 for number 1 though... I'd also drive trey and Ronda to the airport

no one did, but people are quick to throw away Alec, i say Trey is easier to replace.

Patty Mills isnt going to cost what some of these top PG's will, he has not shown the propensity to turn the ball over more in extended minutes, hes asked to shoot plenty for the spurs and he does it at a prolific rate.

for all the 'we need to swing for a homerun' garbage i read about the 5th pick, Id much prefer to swing for a Homerun by signing the dude who just torched the finals, hoping he shoots the lights out.

Patty will showcase his talents running a team for Australia at the FIBA's this summer too.

also its rumored Phil Jackson wants him as the PG of the Knicks, I like that endorsement. They are going to try and offer him their Mid-level exception.

I have no problem giving Patty alittle more than that, 19 mil over 3 years works,
 
yall just enjoy putting my posts under the microscope and picking at them.

thriller changes his tune from Patty Mills is eddie house, to hes better than Trey Burke, with Hantlers agreeing, in about 2 posts.

I do enjoy running laps around you fools when it actually comes to talking basketball, which is what this forum is here for.. right?... talking basketball?
