New member here, and what concerns me

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I agree with a shooter. If we're sold on Burks and Hayward on the wings and they end up working out the way we want then we just need a PG that get get the offense running and then just needs to be relied on to bomb threes. I really think that was Jimmer, though, not that we had any say in that. I just got done watching a Marquis Teague video and he looked pretty dynamite. Not sure how well he shoots from the outside. We still lack shooting and I say absolutely no to any PG who can't hit from deep (and do it well).

I'd rather have the Canadian point guard who is going to Texas. From what I read, he is the better defender and half court offensive player.

rondo is a product of leeching off 3 HoF-ers. not saying he isnt good, just thinking he wouldnt produce the same results if it were cj and ak he was dumping the ball to with 5 on the clock in place of pierce and allen.

Welcome aboard!
Millsap will learn to spend more time at SF, which I think he can, or riding the bench, or get traded, as Favors and Kanter develop and Jefferson adapts his game to the Jazz way, which he is doing. PLENTY of room for Kanter, Jefferson, and Favors to split the 96 minutes at PF & C. 32 minutes each works for me, and Millsap can play more PF when the matchups warrant it!
I am reading more & more 'bout pairing Burks, whose passing skills persuaded us in drafting him, with Hayward, who is also a good passer, in the backcourt. Remember da Bulls back in the MJ era? A good passing team that really didn't use a true PG...

False. Rondo can score. He can't hit 3's, for sure, but he can get into the lane with ease and finish. However, if you can get into the lane and have Garnett to dump it off to or Ray .. or Paul to kick it out to .. well, you have options. I'm telling you, Rondo can absolutely score if it was a need.

What's funny is that a few years ago during the all-star break, Rondo and Durant were competing in a game of HORSE. Rondo was matching Durant shot for shot...mostly 3 pointers. Maybe it's a mental thing for Rondo...during real games, he just needs to imagine himself playing a game of HORSE (but with someone guarding him).

Teague has BLAZING speed, fantastic handles, a wicked cross-over, but not a great (or above average) shooter. Kabongo >>> Teague .. and this coming up season wil solidify that, I'm afraid.

As far as Rondo/Durant playing HORSE ... Rondo can shoot the ball, problem is he needs about 5 seconds to get himself set and carefully launch .. unfortunately, opposing defenses usually don't give you that long, lol.

I don't think I do that trade .. and there rumors that Detroit wants to rid themselves of Stuckey ..

I would just LOVE to have Knight, I just think he'd be too expensive to justify.
