He would fail just as bad in this system. 1) He's a shoot first player. Great for a sixth man off the bench. Not good at all for a PG with the likes of Hayward and Favors on the floor. 2) He doesn't hit 3's that often. 3) He doesn't need to be PG to get his open lanes. He can just play his...

I wouldn't put money on it, but I really would love to see this happen.

It's great that Hayward has that range and is a decent threat from the 3, but that is not and should not be the focus of his game. Burks is also very inconsistent for that range. It's not what he likes to do. Not sure why we're arguing about it though. If you don't think having a great...

Of those 3, only Hood has the potential of being a "shooter" per the generally accepted definition. The team has no one on the roster that is considered an excellent 3 point shooter.

With playoff teams possibly resting starters and tanking teams jockeying for the worst record, it's not beyond the realm of possibility. BUT.... only losing 5 games the rest of the way out seems pretty steep. I hope so though!

We should do nothing to impede the development of Exum into our premier point guard. Anything that Burks could do to help can and should happen with him playing WITH Exum, not instead of Exum. The bigger question is why we offered such a big contract to Burks when he's not even the type of SG...

I absolutely agree, however I would hope that going to the d-league for that role would be the last resort.

As I mentioned on another thread, we need a starting shooting guard that can shoot the three point shot lights out. With the other players on the court, they don't even need to be the best defender. Before I would look at shoring up the bench, we need to find that player either through the...

I understand that the money would go to the players. I hadn't heard any specifics about how it would have been divided up. I'm just trying to understand why the NBAPA rejected the plan. I would like to hear more specifics about what they found objectionable. Right now, I can only suspect...

I guess they figure that eventually all players will benefit and that there is no reason to artificially hold down salaries. It doesn't seem that the huge bump in the salary cap favors stars. It seems like it favors those who are in the position to be a free agent that year ... star or...

I have to agree. I didn't think Wes was worth that money either.

I think based on the production we have seen so far, Burks would be the starter. The problem is that he's not much of a shooter and doesn't stretch the floor. If Hood ends up being a viable option, I would have no problem having Burks going to the bench. That shooting threat in the starting...

I feel like he is more likely a candidate for most improved this year. I think he just hasn't played enough as a starter this year to be seriously considered as DPOY. Next year he will be for sure assuming he keeps playing the way he has.

I think we just need to let Exum develop and find out what kind of player he can be. Not every team has to have a superstar at point guard. We are well positioned with Hayward leading the team. I realize that many of us here are conditioned to a John Stockton or Deron Williams type of team...

I really thought that Favors/Kanter would be our front court for many years to come. However, in this case, I'm happy to be wrong.

I think you make some good points. There will probably be some deals that will be made that wouldn't have happened otherwise if not for the sudden increase in the salary cap. I just don't think the overall impact will be that severe. Right now they are estimating that the salary cap will jump...

I guess I feel the same then. Your argument isn't just that bigger markets have more influence in the free agent market. I mean, everyone knows that. You're saying that this change in the salary cap gives them an even bigger advantage. I just don't see it. The numbers will change, but the...

I don't think it's healthy to drink that much kool-aid.

I just fail to see the situation as anything more than a one-time ripple. Salaries will be going up. Some larger market teams will be able to make some very big offers to a few select players, but the teams that the players are on will be able to offer them much more for the same reason. This...

What I've seen this season is that Trey can't really cut it as a starter, however he can be extremely dangerous up against bench players. He has looked so good at times, that you wonder if he should be starting, but then get reminded of his inconsistency against better competition. Whether or...
