I know there isn't any "name calling" in this post, but you are essentially calling me an idiot.... cuz NO **** SHERLOCK!

Lindsay's job is to find players or trade players based on their value. Well, their value to the team is NOTHING BUT their productive relationships to one another. Therefore, if we can't acquire the PG of our wetdreams, then we work with smart combinations of what we have. Lindsay and Corbin will work on this together.

FYI, Lindsay comes from a coaching background and this certainly weighed heavily in his favor as far as Utah is concerned.
 
I like that he makes a statement on how he barely played PG last season, but not reminding us with Bledsoe, Mo, and Chauncey all backing up Paul, there was ZERO need for him to play there.


So make that 1/5, not 6 (still think your point is garbage, but whatevs)
 
Foye is not a PG and Sap is not a SF. Pretty straightforward IMO. On occasion with unique match ups it can work but not a day in day out plan.
 
I'm not arguing that he's a point guard. I'm simply saying his argument/stats to back up his claim suck more **** than he does.
 
Hey fellas, I gots an idea.... let's cling like a mother ****er to the ageless conception of what a PG is. After this clinging, we'll be able to write smart sounding essays about how our players ARE or AREN'T pointguards cuz we'll know all about what a pointgaurd is. Sound fun?

Are you Salty? For the third time, your whole argument that "he's still a losing point guard" falls flat on its' face when you take three seconds out of your life to look at how crappy their roster was. Or maybe I can put it into words easier for you to understand.

Kevin Love's a losing power forward and Stephen Curry's a losing guard, or even better Ron Artest's a winning small forward or Matt Bonner's a winning power forward.

Maybe try using a different argument or set of stats to defend your analysis of said player for that year at least. In fact, I expect you to cherry pick.

i used six seasons of stats from three different teams. if roster quality was to blame, then at some point he would have accidentally lucked into a decent season where he at least executed well enough for a single point per possession.

plus, your argument that rosters are to blame is a little silly when you consider that in every case, his team's offensive efficiency was better when he WASN'T at the point. it's not like HE was being dragged down by an inefficient team -- in fact, the reverse was true.

team points per 100:
LAC '12 - 109
LAC '11 - 106
WAS '10 - 104
MIN '09 - 106
MIN '08 - 104
MIN '07 - 104

I raise you one NAOS. Let's state that any players who have a negative +/- are losers and any who have a positive one are winners. Pau Gasol must have sucked and been totally incapable of playing the 4 or 5 because he was a losing 4 and 5 in Memphis for the majority of his time there.
 
I haven't really seen Foye play the point or I don't recall it. What I have seen is that he can do things: he's quick and can penetrate, and he can shoot. I don't think we brought him to play the point either, but as a guy who can score and hit the 3.
 
Foye can't play point because hit Assist Rate is more similar to Al Jefferson than it is Devin Harris, or any of the Jazz' current PG group.

And yes, Tony Parker, a guard who isn't a point guard, according to one poster in this thread, still has the assist rate of a PG.
