[QUOTE=LBJMVP]trading them would never have been a probly if we knew bynum would commit. why rebuild, then trade your rebuilding pieces for bynum only to watch him leave and have to rebuild again.
if he'd said he'd resign then sure trade for him.
funny how people lable thompson a bust when in ford's redraft kyrie and thompson went one and two.
also funny how most people on ish lable waiters a bust after never seeing game, and most except rating that as a very good pick.[/QUOTE]
He's an idiot. Thompson isnt a bust. Thorpe could have redid the draft and had him go 15. Way too premature to write off Thompson when anyone who watched him in college knew he had areas of his game to improve upon. Wouldnt happen over night. He doesnt know what he talks about.
fwiw, coach scott said that thompson has been the most improved player over the summer, working hard on developing a face-up jumper
although we didnt see much of it in vegas
i just wanna see him try some things out there, and not be afraid to fail.
tbh the cavs are a hard team to read.
they've drafted 3 players in 2 years on sheer potential. it'll be a couple of years at least before we can really judge that squad.
[QUOTE=GOBB]3 new additions...
Dorell Wright last 2 seasons shot 3&% (6 3pta) and 37% (5 3pta).
Nick Young is a career 38% 3pt, shot 37% last season
Jason Richardson whom they aquired with Bynum is a career 37% 3pt shooter
Now what[/QUOTE]
this.
If Bynum can be more successful passing out of doubles earlier, this is a very dangerous team.
sixers had arguably the best 2nd unit in the East last year, definitely best in the atlantic. they could easily be the best 2nd unit this year, they just have to commit to Doug Collins' style of play and not worry about who gets the shots on what night

did Bynum commit to philly??? no
did deron williams commit to Nets??? he talked to Nets, Mavs & then signed with the nets
the fact is....if you get a player like bynum for unproven quantities like TT and waiters...u go ahead and do that...
Bynum would not turn down and opportunity to play with a upcoming star pg in Irving and the maxed 5th yr...just no way....
sometimes u have to roll the dice....

You said Waiters has bust written all over him yet never explain why. You compare Thompson to Tyrus Thomas. Why? Because both have TT initials? Because nbadraft.net compared them? You cant explain the crap you type.
Idiot.

we weren't in a posistion to risk all of our assets except irving for what could be a 1 year rental.
i feel very good with the decision we made. i wish we did get bynum, but im not the least bit upset we didnt.
I think this team is getting a bit overrated. Hawes is going to make them have a slow front court. And as of right now Turner has to prove himself. Big Bynum and Holiday fan though.

as opposed to elton brand at the 4?
this team's style of play doesn't really need turner to "prove himself" as long as he plays good enough defense their wings can score by committee and they'll be pretty good tbh
i think Holiday and Bynum will be an awesome combination though

than if bynum leaves we have no draft picks to rebuild with and we are a place that attracts free agents... plus loose the the players we drafted to rebuild with.
why risk that for what could be a one year rental.

Will that kind of system win them playoff games?
[QUOTE=Nets fan 93]Will that kind of system win them playoff games?[/QUOTE]
honestly? it might get them deep, or it might crash and fail miserably and cost Doug Collins his job. once it's the ECF it all comes down to who can take their guy one on one. Which is why Bynum is the key and the major difference from last year.
Collins is very old school, very grind it out, he likes to push the ball off turnovers and he doesnt like to call a lot of set plays. last year it was brutal to watch because they didnt have a guy they could throw it to in the post to open up the three point line. This year that could be totally different
