If not Rubio then what?

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Cy, I fully expected you to accept the mediocrity that we now have because you are risk averse. You don't take chances. It's okay, most of us admit that about you.

I see Exum as an equal replacement for Rubio sooner rather than later as a starter and on the defensive end. For me, Rubio is already playing himself out of a contract. I see Grayson becoming a good combo guard. I don't think he'll be a starting quality PG or SG, but a good guy to have off the bench. I see Mitchell assuming much of the ball handling duties which makes Rubio even less needed.

If we are going to spend money on a need area, we need a guy who can score when we hit the wall. Like the first Memphis game or the 4th quarter against Denver. We need a guy who can score a bunch who has Quin's confidence on the defensive end. If Burks was a good defender, he would play more. He might even start. That's how I see Rozier. He's Burks, but with great defense. Like I said, Rubio and Burks combine to make $26. If we can get Rozier for Rubio money, it's good business. We desperately need another scorer who isn't a sieve on defense.

You're campaigning to sign a guy who is a worse scorer than Rubio, but I'm the one who wants mediocrity?

Right.

All I ask is you do the smallest amount of research if you are going to make proposals.

Like knowing Rozier is an *** scorer so if your whole premise of bringing him in is to be a scorer, then you are making a terrible backwards move.

Rozier scores the way that we need a scorer because he can catch and shoot. Did you read that? Rozier can actually shoot. We need somebody who can stretch the floor for Rudy to work down low and Mitchell to do his thing. We need to surround our stars with shooters.

Rubio clogs everything. Rubio's way has always been a struggle. He never really wowed in Minnesota. He had a ton of chances to run the show, shoot the ball and be the catalyst. He played well in stretches for us last year. He's been atrocious this year. I don't see him being able to sustain last year's few month form for long enough to trust.

We get Rozier to shoot and defend. We aren't getting Rozier to be a ball dominant stereotypical PG like Rubio. We are getting him to score the ball when he's on and defend because he's always a good defender.

If not Rozier, who is a realistic PG/SG target Cy? Who?

He's one of the worst "scorers" in the NBA. For the guy who's running shtick to mock me has been "You settle for mediocrity" this is embarrassing.

I don't expect you to understand the logic. You probably still think Hayward is staying.

 

[kabenac]

Donovan can play PG.

And still an Exum believer.

Since the PG situation is so bleak I 100% support Mitchell at PG.

There is no logic. This is the most mediocre move possible. Congratulations.

Not sure why anyone would have faith in Exum at this point. He really needs to show a lot more the rest of the season imo. And Grayson is two years away from being two years away from being a good 6th man imo.

Well what do you mean by faith in Exum? I mean he is already showing to be a legitimate NBA player. I know it gets beat into the ground but he IS basically in his 3rd season by games played. But if "faith" to you means All-Star then sure he hasn't showed that level of play to this point.

Washington is getting boat-raced by Dallas right now. Dallas may get extra rest before game here tomorrow.

Of course you never answered the question I asked. Who is your solution to PG/SG?

Anyone but Rozier.

Answer the question or are you too afraid to go with your usual company line - "Rubio is going to figure it out."

Followed by "We re-signed Rubio because we didn't have any better options" when we re-sign him in the summer.

Followed by "what other options did we have available instead of Rubio" when we get to another Rubio struggle spot next year.

Followed by "DL will target a big player next summer."

It will be the same song and dance you've been doing about Favors for about 5 years.
