Wiggins. And then we'd have to nickname him "Ender," right? That's right, Ender Wiggins.

Bilbo Baggins. Though I'd be interested to see a hybrid of the two - Bilbo Bagley. Let's make it happen, scientists.

You're a f***ing idiot.

First of all, I think the word you were looking for is "thrives," not "strives." Secondly, comparing someone to Rodney Stuckey is not a compliment.

Uhhhhh...if you were actually paying attention, you'd see that the post I was responding to explicitly said Evans would be Jefferson's replacement. I was responding to that statement and that statement only.

Yes, that's an excellent point, you mad genius. You make perfect sense as always. Evans can easily replace Jefferson - of course! - because they are very similar players with the exact same skill set. In fact, when most scouts talk about Evans, they usually say the same thing: "Oh man, he's just...

Such an astonishing lack of perspective. Jefferson was, at worst, the second-best player on a playoff team last year. The idea that he's somehow its biggest weakness is absurd.

Jesus. I think you're really, really confused by the word "prime." Physical prime is not the same thing as basketball prime. Basketball prime varies from player to player. As you surely must know (there you go, intentionally playing dumb again), Nash has had the best years of his career in...

From his first full season (2006-07) through this season, Deron's turnover numbers are as follows: 3.1, 3.4, 3.4, 3.3, 3.5, 3.9 Nash's turnover numbers through that same stretch: 3.8, 3.6, 3.4, 3.6, 3.5, 3.5 See, it would be a lot easier to respect you if you didn't keep getting...

Uh.... Yeah, I really think you must have misunderstood your Econ 101 class - or in this case, certainly misappropriated the logic of it. It does not fit in this situation. Good point guards are not scarce, that is true - but in sports, if anything, that can make them MORE valuable. If a...

Oh my god, dude. OK. "No one seems to even miss Deron." Yeah, you're totally right. With this year's team + Deron, we would totally be exactly where we are now, outside the playoffs. Totally. You're totally right. Because everything he's done in his career apparently counts for nothing...

You're absolutely, 100 percent clueless about how the NBA works. I (among others) have explained in past threads how idiotic and clueless your line of thinking is, but I don't really have the energy to go into it all again. The short version is that Deron is no different from other NBA...

First of all, you don't even have your facts straight. They were 31-26 when he was traded. As for the Nets, no, they're not going to be worse than last year. Last year, in an 82-game season, they won 24 games. This year, in a 66-game season with 9 games left, they have 20 wins. Last year their...

You either don't know anything about basketball or you're just incredibly short-sighted. Or both. Have you even watched Deron this year or are you just looking at box scores? His shooting is that low and his turnovers that high because he's basically trying to do everything for an absolutely...

Fixed. You're something else, I must say.

No. He just leans on his advanced stats as a crutch to mask the fact that he doesn't know what he's talking about. The logical conclusions he draws from some of the stats he brings up are mind-boggling. I want to violently shake him. (Just like I do when I hold babies.)

This comment and other comments like it are so astonishingly ignorant of the realities of professional sports, I don't even really want to respond. I'm only doing so because I'm bored, so what the hell. I guarantee you, 99 percent of the great players in the history of the NBA have openly defied...

LeBron and Kobe are perimeter players and ballhandlers. Malone was not. Power forwards like him do not create the same way a perimeter scorer/playmaker like LeBron or Kobe does, or the way a great point guard does. This is not difficult to understand.

It is a 66-game season. 66 is an even number. It is not possible to finish the season 1 game under .500. Nor is it possible to do so under a regular 82-game season. 82, you see, is also an even number.

Yeah, that's because he's the f***ing point guard, moron. That's how basketball works. The ballhandlers handle the ball down the stretch.
