    But it will make him more tradeable.

    He played an average of 71/82 games the last four years. I would hardly call that injury prone.

    Flip that with Yao Ming who is injury prone player an average of 59/82 games a year...

    Fair enough. But in those 4 years he shot 32, 34, 33, and 34 % from 3(not that good) and from what Hornets fans have said, his defense is not good anymore. At this point I'd say Johnson is the better player, and we can get that three pt percentage up and everything else he brings is more than enough to make up for it.

    This was moments before Sham dropped the Melo bomb... @Nachobar has made Sham obsolete

    The Hornets asked him to be a play maker, he wasn’t getting open looks like he would here.The more offense someone carries the worst their defense will be. Harden is a prime example of this. I’m not worried about his defense cuz of his 7’4” wingspan. Plus we have Capela behind him who is one of the best shot blockers in the league

    He’s a lot like Ariza the first time he was here. Not good as a number one or two option but one of the best role players in the league.

    What? I'm sure you'd be more miffed than me. I wouldn't care, because it wouldn't take a tool away from Morey. It would just mean to me that he couldn't find a trade, and gave up.

    You have me pigeon-holed as an anti, tax saver, and it appears posters like @JayZ750 also confuse me, as such. How did that start? Over $3.5m? I already said I have no problems with letting Ariza go, or Luc.

    You have me confused with others.

    The Onuaku move is not the same as Ariza and Luc.

    That's all well and good, but idk if there's anything there from last year or the year before that to indicate that he's a better player than James Johnson. The man wasnt even as good as your describing him when he was on Portland.

    I don’t care If Batum has a Space Jam wingspan, HE IS NOT the defender y’all want him to be. More of an offensive workload doesn’t cause you to just get lost. It’s his defensive awareness, toughness and IQ that is lacking. He is French after all.

    Baze likes all the big booty ladies here in ATL. He should fit right in with James :)

    It's good news week
    Doctors finding many ways
    Of wrapping brains on metal trays
    To keep us from the heat

    I’ve continued to say it. THIS would keep us from the Heat.

    We will see.

    You sure like pretending to be one....

    “Doctors finding many ways of wrapping brains on metal trays...” :rolleyes:

    (P.S) @J.R. did you a favor! Things get really messy when there is no rain in the clouds! Just ask @basketballholic.

    Ariza has about 3 inches and 20 pounds on Bazemore. I wouldn’t say an exact replica, especially since Bazemore is a considerably better ball handler as well. Certainly both very good pieces for the modern nba though.
