He's DYNAMIC though. He needs to operate in the system which is on him, but then if he gets the pass on the cut, he's going to be able to do a lot more things than say, Budinger.
Quite sure Battier was moved so our youngs can get more time (Bud, Lee, Twil)...As we're somewhat in the race, I don't see him getting much time in the next 5 games or so, but he will in the last 15 games for sure. Just have patience, we've chosen to go the rebuilding route, Twil will get plenty of minutes.
^^^^This. The guy can't shoot, and he is an iso type player. That just plain don't fit. Everyone is saying screw the system and just roll the ball out let the players "develop". Remember the SF3, Cat Mobely, Moochie era? We tried that and it didn't work. We had excellent talent then too. All star level talent. Rudy just rolled the ball out and let them play. Turnovers and shot clock violations galore. The same people wanting coach to roll the ball out and just let them "develop" will be the same ones blaming him for us losing. There has to be a team system of play in order to win. Otherwise we are just like the Clippers. A team that appears daily on sportscenter highlights, but yearly in the draft lottery. Product of no one forceing them to play in a system. It will get you highlights, and your players will get better at 1 on 1 ball, but you will still lose games.
Chase can't shoot this season, either. He still gets to play. Same with Aaron when he was here this season.
That's actually a good question. If he's never going to play here, and we didn't trade him at the deadline, then what was the point in giving up a pick for the guy? Any value he might still have left will be destroyed if he can't get on the floor during these last 28 games. There's no doubt that this was a Morey move, not an Adelman one. Daryl just forced Rick's hand by trading Shane. We'll see what happens. Saturday should be interesting.
RA has shown a complete willingness to give minutes to young players -- when Williams corrects his attitude and learns the system he will play.
This season is probably shot anyways so why now at least give him garbage minutes. Adelman isn't even doing that...
Just another reason to assume Rick won't be back because I can't imagine Morey traded for the guy to sit on the bench and kill his value understanding the kid won't take well to being benched on a below average team.
Terrance has to buy into the off/def rick adelman throws at him in order to get playing time. Period. Maybe its not his game, but i do believe he will get a few chances to play and be a role player. Injuries happen you know, but lots of other things ccn also happen to give him a chance to be a productive basketball player on this team.
so apparently many people that visit this site are morons. Some of you mentioned that that Lee would be backing Martin at the 2 spot, which means you have Budinger starting at the 3.... fail. Lee will be starting along side martin at the 3. Budinger will be a back-up. But those three will not receive all of the minutes at the 2 and 3 spots. Williams will play, and most likely earn more time throughout the season, most likely because he will prove to be more consistent than "air" bud. Our lineup PG: Kyle Lowry / Goran Dragic SG: Kevin Martin / Chase Budinger SF: Courtney Lee / Terrence Williams PF: Luis Scola / Patrick Patterson C: Chuck Hayes / Brad Miller This is what our lineup will look like. Budinger and Martin should probably never be on the court at the same time unless we need a 3-pointer at the end of the game. Otherwise they are just too weak defensively. So please, will some of you do yourselves a favor and kindly remove head from a$$. Think about stuff before you post And another poster was saying that things went south for Terrence Williams as an individual when Avery Johnson came in. So to the smart a$$ who responded with you should know what he meant Thats just one example of people who ruin these threads
I'm just still trying to wrap my head around the idea that a team currently sitting at 17-40, "Actually started winning."
It's not about an unwillingness to play young guys, it's a unwillingness to play guys who don't play well in or understand his system. Budinger got rotation minutes pretty early last season, and Patterson's getting more minutes this season. Terrence seems like a guy that can put up numbers on a bad team and not much else. Remember that Gerald Green averaged about 14ppg his last season with the horrendous Celtics. Where is he now?
Too many of you don't know what in the world you're talking about. He's not gonna get playing time cause he's an iso player? That's rediculous. He hasn't even had a chance to show whether he fits or not. Players and coaches have been quoted saying how well he's done in practice. Did Adelman say he wasn't playing because he hasn't shown anything in practice? No.. He said there was no room for him to play.. Other players being there longer. Morey has said Wasn't room for him. Stop making up this bs about him not fitting. If Morey thinks Williams is an all star caliber player, I believe him. You don't sit all star caliber players... You make room for them...and they did. I'm pretty sure Morey consulted with Adelman about trading for Williams before hand. I'm pretty sure Adelman mentioned not having room. Morey confirmed having to get him before ANOTHER team moved in on that deal. Resulting from that, I'm sure that Morey knew that if nothing else, he would have to trade a rotation player to make room for him.
So we play and develop our younger players and lose. How is that any freaking different from what we are doing now; losing in attempt to run a system that we have neither the personnel or overall talent to run? Most of our guys are too stupid to play in the system. Why don't you open your eyes and look at the bigger picture. We aren't making the playoff. At this point, what do we really have to lose? Meanwhile, RA marches out garbage like Bud with heavy minutes. Try opening your eyes here.
So where's the beet? You assume he's D-league bound? That would shift the Hayes down and cause all kinds of shifts. Adelman has also been known to run undersized players all the time at positions that aren't there strength... And before you throw out that one person or another is a smart*** or moron, maybe you should read your post before you post. Misquoting a clutchfan is a rook mistake... I'm not saying Rick won't play Twill, all I'm saying is that he isn't FORCED to play Twill. If he does not want to play Twill, he has means of doing otherwise. Read my post (as short as it was) before you make asinine remarks...
