And Middleton is younger; more likely to improve.

probably only in shooting and defense. I really doubt he ever adds an ability to put the ball on the floor, or become a distributor. At best, he is an Ariza shooting 50%/40% from the field/3 and playing some awesome perimeter D.

Ariza had an awesome season last year, and look at the contract it garnered him. Do we really wanna drop 12 mill on a player that basically purely plays off-ball? And isn't nearly the long-range bomber that the Korvers and Redicks and WesMats are? And isn't even that elite of a perimeter defender?

I want Middleton on this team. But, I'd only really offer him around Kanter money: 7-9.5 mill a year, ideally for 3 years.

You're really making some ridiculous claims in this discussion
Why are you trying to make this into an argument? I just don't think Ariza is that good, mainly because of consistency issues. Is he like your 2nd cousin or something?

You having some problems today man?

I'm fine, bruh bruh. Not trying to be hostile. Just saying that calling Ariza complete *** weakens your credibility. 'tis all.

The $12mil is just how high Cy said he would go. It hasn't even been rumored that he'll get that. If Ariza is better and only got $8/per, then we are worrying for nothing.

But why are the Rockets winning? It's got to be all those darned turnovers they're creating. That team is a beast defensively. They bungle up everything the other team is trying to accomplish.

Mainly cuz of that guy named James Harden.

If Bucks don't wanna deal Middleton, what about Knight?

eww. Not a chance.

Cy said:
ANd he is a consistent knock down shooter. He doesn't have the high volume like some do, but that is because he actually has more game than just a 3pt shot. I think he has a lot of room to improve as his floor game improves. I actually think he is more than just a shooter.

Still-- it's possible to keep adding to your game, but still jack more threes. Why the hell is he not attempting 1-2 more threes a game if he's shooting 42% from three? It's ridiculous. I don't think there's another player in the league who gets as many minutes as he does, shoots as accurately as he does, yet only makes 1.3 a game.
 
But seriously, Ariza and Brewer on the wings is a killer defensive combo. It's actually why I've been so big on Oubre and getting more length on the wings. Watch some Rockets games and you will see what I am talking about.

THat was his game at A&M. His off-ball game is something he developed in the NBA.

A poll on RealGM is 90% in favor of keeping Middleton over Knight. They dislike Knight much like we dislike Kanter, they view him as an empty stats guy.
