Ronnie Price to Phoenix?

Calling it like it is - here's Hollinger's take on Price:


Price is a turnover machine who depends entirely on his diminishing athleticism; he probably shouldn't be in the league anymore.

Ouch!

Pretty harsh; but I will say I was mildly surprised he found an NBA team willing to give him a guaranteed contract (if it even is guaranteed)

I was pretty certain Price would have been in Europe years ago if it wasn't for The Jazz.
 
I don't think anyone can be called an ideal 5th guard. A 5th guard is simply someone who doesn't play more than a few minutes every three or four games.

WE are soooooo better off we just signed a Dleague player. KOC is a joke %#$^ Price was a perfect third guard. All you Price hater need to see through you own thick mindedness do you really think we are better off?

Absolutely we are. We went from a no talent SG in a PG body. To 2 better option PG's competing for the 3rd PG spot.

Price being gone is an upgrade over Price on the team. Even if they did not have another option at 3rd string PG.

Good riddance. I was nearly always screaming at the TV for the coaches to get Price off the damn floor.

For every 1 good play Price makes in a game he makes 5-6 bone headed stupid *** plays. Jumping on the back of offensive players for no reason, throwing the ball 5' behind his intended target. Throwing up terrible shots at terrible times. Dribbling himself out of a play, so on and so on and so on.
 
I miss Ronnie already. I hope he gets a rotation job in Phx. He never turned into Barbosa Lite, but their fans are going to like him.
 
i wouldnt say price has no talent, but i would rather have tinsley's playmaking and passing skills for the available position.
if jamaal would just bring off the bench half the contagious energy price had, then we wouldnt be missing RP
 
Your 5th guard's presence off the court, for good or ill, is greater than their impact on it. When we're talking about something as insignificant as a third stringer, especially considering our current makeup, I have a hard time thinking "real skill" is what we need from a guy getting 6 (garbage) mpg in a little over half the games played.
 
Like I said in the Tinsley thread, RP is a good dude and good locker room guy that can brings a lot of energy and sometimes that energy translates for good and sometimes it translates into mistakes. I know I'll miss his attitude and energy Dsquared (dunks and defense) but if anybody is hating on KOC due to Price going to PHX then you hated him before and there will never be anything anybody could ever do to change it.
KOC could get Durant for the gum he found on his shoe and some people would credit other people for somehow letting KOC get him.
 
Good luck to Ronnie, I always admired his hustle and energy. He may not be the smartest or most talented player but certainly was one of the most hard working ones.
