[ESPN] Hollinger: Evaluating the James Harden Deal

An example of knote32's talent evaluation, lol:

 

"Gortat, for his contract and those salary ramifications, is comparable to Marc Gasol in value..."

(One is a max player, remember?)

Tidings of Zues bless you...

 

Go ahead and backtrack... You were also one of the biggest Royce White supporters and look how that turned out. Don't have him in your sig anymore I see. You're turrible, just turrible at evaluating talent...#smh.

 

I agree with this. Put this in the random trade thread also. He's racking up the DNPs anyway.

On the Rockets, he'd space the floor even better than Cook (3pt shooting champion), and the Kings aren't known for playing team ball and may not be a great judge of Jimmer's potential output.

And as back-up PG, he's not going to do worse than Douglas.

What's to lose?

 

That makes very little sense.

The problem with Royce is that he's sitting out. His problem has nothing to do with his talent (as far as we know), so to bash somebody at "evaluating talent" when that talent hasn't even been put on display, that's just foolish.

And either way...Royce was widely considered a top TALENT in the draft.

 

Aaron Brooks suggested numerous times? Really?

 

Nothing!

The Kings are a complete mess. They have the worst mismatched group of players I've ever seen. Terrible owners, and Petrie has really made some bad moves. I don't think Jimmer is nearly as good as his draft position was, but in the right situation I think he can be very useful.

 

For Hollinger to use his statistical analysis after only 10 games is like for us to yell "that guy is useless" after a bad game by a player.
