    I don't trust any of them lol. Considering that Vecsey has been wrong 99% of the time, there is nothing to trust about the guy.

    Are there any interviews of Bobby Brown? Or is it prohibited because his charm would crash the internet?

    Ariza is not going anywhere. Former teammate, friend and recruiter of CP.
    Apparently was instrumental in talking CP into jumping ship to come to HOU. Morey is not going to
    ship him off after doing that and also ruin chemistry.

    That being said, you must have not checked your stats. Numbers don't lie
    Ariza - 34.4% from 3 last year
    Moute - 3pt = 39.1%
    Tucker - 3pt = 40%

    They BOTH are more effective shooters than Ariza. Ariza has some streaky moments, but mostly bricks.
    I'm excited about BOTH of these pickups.

    ive already addressed those numbers above. and yes they can lie in the sense that it is deceiving. those don't mean anything if you dont actually look at context, the type of shots taken and volume. moute and tucker are no where near the type of shooter ariza is. moute/tucker are the guys teams intentionally leave wide open, so typically they need to take the shot. moute shot a 110 3s while pj shot 190. Ariza on the other hand 555. if you want both of those guys shooting as much as that bc you think they're just as good a shooter then that's just terrible bball IQ

    if two guys avg 20pts a game does that mean they are both the exact same type of scorers? nope. theres many variables that goes into that.

    Pau Gasol shot 53% from 3 last year. Does that mean he is most effective shooter in the league? nope. he shot a 100 total bc teams leave him wide open out there. The plus side is more times than not he did knock them down. that's what we can hope to see from pj/moute.

    Yeah, I trust Vecsey, too. (dramatic pause) I trust him to be a creative typist. That's about it.

    To be fair, Vecsey did break info back in the day. But that was yesteryear. Including when he and Barkley provided entertainment. They would go after each other on TNT so much that, magically, inexplicably, one day, Barkley would be there but Vecsey wouldn't. When Vecsey was there, Barkley wasn't. And so on.

    I'm scared that in like a week Cavs are just gonna say eff it and offer Love. Only positive there is that LeBron might be leaving in a year and they could both come here.

    Vescey said that he doesn't pretend to be in the know anymore in his tweet. He's saying that the holdup is D'antoni not wanting Melo. Lol.

    he's completely unreliable and untrustworthy...he got the 2011 Melo trade to NY so wrong that it was embarrassing

    Then Melo is just gonna say eff it and reject the trade.

    190 shots is still a pretty good sample size. PJ's shots I'm sure were not ALL wide open looks.
    And Ariza had more room than a leper on many occasions and turned out more bricks than a kiln at times
    (the numbers reflect that). In addition, you say the other guys are 'intentionally' left open.
    But the numbers show, left open or not, they can make the shot.

    AND, Harden shot 34.7% from 3. Even BETTER than Ariza.
    So you are saying that James was largely left open and Trevor was blanketed?
    Your reasoning doesn't wash. Neither does your superior BB acumen. Sorry
    But I applaud your esteemed value of Trevor. I guess you'll be seeing him at the family reunion soon? LOL

    It's okay, if everything goes as planned; traded for CP, trade for Melo, THEN sign LeBron next offseason, AND sign D Wade for a vet minimum our yacht round table plan will be all set! By then all those guys will be traded. :D #NonIssue #Checkmate

    no the numbers dont show that.

    the rest of your post don't discredit anything i said but merely someone who doesn't understand how to break down a players numbers. but I applaud your attempt. I guess you might get it once you familiarize yourself with what actually happens in real life. LOL

    Tucker only shot 39% in Toronto, not the whole season. And both Tucker and Mbah Moute attempted way less 3s per game than Ariza.
