Both Marvin and Hayward are averaging 26 mins per game. Yet Hayward is significantly better player in every department with higher upside playing the same exact position. Why can't he be given 40 mins per game like Paul George, who has very similar production rate and made all star team, and...

I am at loss trying to figure this out. With Favors, Kanter, and Burks playing well off the bench, it's not like we are in dire need a strong 6th man. Hayward was starting earlier in the year, and was not doing exceptionally well (albeit not bad either), and was benched. However, Marvin is...

The bottom line is, we need a good 3d big as much as we need a combo guard next year. If we have Bird's rights of Millsap and AJ (and no other team does), which is the case now, since we did not trade them, it give us much better chance to get a really good third big. Either Millsap or AJ to add...

Millsap is a better player than Bledsoe. To give multiple picks and Millsap for Bledsoe is just not a good deal. He is not even a true PG, but more of a combo guard. Bledsoe is just not such a great player to be upset about not getting. In his second year Mo Williams did better than Beldsoe is...

You are complaining about Hayward missing FGs this year, and in the same breath ask for Paul George, who is actually shooting MUCH worse from the floor at just 40% this year (Hayward is at 44). Grass always seems greener on the other side, isn't it?

Eric may be Robin to batman, but Favors and Kanter look like regular folks. My point was that unlike KOC, who jumped the gun and got average players, NO actually got some proven great young talent for their superstar. And yes, NO still lost in that trade, but not in a one way landslide fashion...

Yes, him. The one who can actually make a difference. And his injury this year was a blessing for NO. Next year he is young and healthy with Davis on the team as well. This reminds me how OKC was built. Great young players, took time to win and assembled more great young players via draft...

I am not comparing favors/kanter/marvin/GS pick to wallace/lopez. I am merely pointing out that unlike Deron, who can be a game changer, neither of these scrubs is. Yet we trade a game changer for non game changers, hence losing this trade in a landslide, as the title suggest. You are making...

Are Favors, Kanter, and Mo Williams team changers?

I checked. He was 13 and 11 guy as a 20 year old…

Deron did not tell Nets he would re-sign either. Yet he re-signed, hence your point of saying that because Deron did not say 2 years in advance he would definitely re-sign, he therefore would certainly leave, is simply illogical. Yes, there was a risk, because he wanted to have options while...

There are only 5 position on the floor. By diluting quality with quantity, you are not doing yourself any favors. Besides, our starting line-up remained the same with average PGs Harris/Mo instead of superstar Deron. KOC is not God, all right, but it seems apparent he joined eunuch ranks recently.

No, the chance was higher. Much higher than him not re-signing, as evidenced by him re-signing with Nets for 30+ mil extra, in spite of short history and losing record all the time. So, what you just said is complete and utter poppycock. KOC paniced and set Jazz back 5-10 years, because he...

Favors is bench player, because he lost his starting job to Millsap, and Millsap is not a star by any stretch of imagination. Favors is not a young star. He made marginal improvements in his second year, but he FAR FAR removed from being a star. Eric Gordon scored 17 points in his rookie season...

How exactly did it enable us to rebuild? We lost a superstar for bench players. How is that rebuilding? NO, on the other hand got young star in return for Paul, then tanked the season and got Davis. Now, that's rebuilding. How is getting bench players for a superstar is rebuilding?

Okur's expiring contract was an asset, and Atlanta did not need a PG, they needed to clear up CAP space first and foremost. So, no, you can't just say we would have lost that asset for nothing. And if you are suggesting that Deron would have made up 30 mil in Dallas over Utah in 4 years, you are...

At least Fish had some veteran leadership and intangibles. I suppose we needed a cheap veteran to back-up Burks or Hayward, so this move was made. Hard to get excited about another back-up scrub being added to the roster.

Undersized SG who can't shoot and will take away time from Burks. What a waste.

I like Deron a lot, but you are kidding yourself if 32 year old Deron is going to be able to get 30 mil a year. It is MUCH MUCH better to be 33 with 30 mil extra than 32 without and look for a new contract. It's enormous difference. Yes, there was a risk. But the reward would have been having...

Either Mo or Marvin could have been had for trade exception. Or even expiring contract of Okur. So, we could have easily had Marvin as well. Or if KOC just matched Portland offer for Wes, we would have had Wes. KOC could have easily managed the team to have a rotation something like this: PG -...
