    I also like it. He does everything pretty well it seems, except the three-ball. I wonder If he can develop that corner three.

    Don't care to get into that. I'm saying we seem to be cheaper. The camp cuts and the subsequent small signings is all we have to go by. It seems to me though that every single decision has been financially driven. All the camp cuts and subsequent small moves were based on who costs least. Tiny tiny sample though, so let's hope I'm wrong.

    i think he pretty much has to be this way until we see what happens this year and next summer. because he'll be paying paul's luxury tax bill, and then lebron potentially? wishful thinking but leaves the door open.

    This dude was putting up monster stats in the DLeague last year.

    16.5 PPG, 7.3 AST, 7.5 REB, 3.2 STL and he shot .356 from three. Turning 25 in a couple months and hitting his prime.

    I like that we still have an emphasis on long term development of young players. You can't find the Chuck Hayes, Pat Bevs of the world If you don't churn the back end of the roster.

    You've got to be the team that finds the next Pat Beverley, not the team who pays Pat Beverley.

    This kid had his best 10-day contract with Memphis. Interesting that he was not given a further look with them.

    2 way contract, so not the final answer to the Chris Paul dilemma unless they are just going to use Weber and Jackson as a platoon.


    My only initial thoughts are that he has an excessively low release point on his shot and low arc.

    i'm not sure if the decisions have been financially dictated, but there's no doubt fertitta is now leveraged to the hill and needs this franchise to produce income

    Well worth a look on a two way contract.

    Still have a roster spot open for a veteran PG.

    The name acronym usage on this forum is ridiculous.
