    I find this ironic, as it's coming from "harden man".

    Harden took 17.1 shots a game, that is less than Melo, Durant, Kobe, Lebron, Westbrook, Curry, Aldridge, and Monta Ellis. Yet you act as if he is some volume dependent scorer. The idea that he isn't a great player because he had a bad stretch in the last month of the season where he was playing hurt and fatigued from his first full season as a starter is pretty ridiculous, just about every player has bad stretches no matter how great they are.

    Trolls these days don't even try anymore.

    To add to that, somebody actually repped this guy, probably agreed with his statements.

    Sad indeed.

    yes Harden is a volume shooter (using the FTA * 0.44 + FGA formula)
    but his true shoot percentage is very good, highest on our team

    When someone reps a troll (and it doesn't happen often), I just sit there and throw up all over the ground.

    It's that sad.

    792 is all you need to know about Harden. 2012-13 NBA FT attempts leader with coming in 2nd Durant (750), 3rd Howard (721) 4th Kobe (626) and so on. All the top 30 FTs made are in the HOF, or will be in the HOF like Kobe, P.Pierce, Iverson, Nowitzki and Shaq. Harden should get a lot more FTs in his career.

    the least you could do is aim for a trashcan or toilet.

    Every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings. Every time a troll is repped a homeless person gets beat up.

    Well, considering that I don't actually throw up when I see a troll, I would disagree.

    I know you post a lot and some here are tied of you but I am not.

    However, 5 games of Beverley shows you he has higher ceiling than Lin??

    Calling Lin a good bench player?

    LOH colors never shines so bright....

    And Ok, if 5 games mean "higher" ceiling than what does 7 games do? That's 7 wins in a role. You know what I mean and don't say but that's not relavant because I can say the same about 5 games...

    Ya that's what I was going for. One good think about only 2 all stars is less ppl to keep happy. 3 would be difficult unless the 3rd is really laid back and more of the 3rd wheel like bosh. With Dwight harden and Paul I can guarantee there could be bickering, harden has tenure here, Dwight complained of touches before and cp is ball dominant. One good think about 3 all stars besides talent is you could fleece another team in a trade for just 1 all star and get plants in return like Denver did.

    Was trolling the trolls.

    LOHH :grin:

    Of course Lin is a proven quality starting PG in the league with a very high ceiling. Beverley is great but hasn't proven ****. Especially not when it comes to starting over Lin.

    I'm all about bringing Dwight here as I think he could make us contenders and we wouldn't have to break up our core.

    Bringing CP3 here, not so much cause it means trading away Asik and Lin and possibly more.

    Maybe your sarcasm meter. Either that or he was trolling the troll.

    Edit: yup, i was right...

    Lets get this derailed thread back on the right track...

    Was there ever a top free agent that Morey was NOT interested in the past??

    I am personally tired of the LOF and LOH "wars". Can't we learn to get along? When Lin has bad game, He had a bad game! When he played well, then he did. But to go off the wall either ways is just nuts! Wait, that's what people do here :)

    But we digress. Bring DW in if he wants to play here. CP3 is truly a long shot and it will be very difficult to do since one way or another, it's 3 max players in a cap situation that makes for a starting 3 + 2 scrubs (unless we keep Parson - great cheap contract for the talent), than it's 4 + 1 scrub.

    Bench of Beverly and G Smith?? OK that will work.... NOT.

    So just get the 2nd Superstar (DW) and go with the flow - Hope that T Jones and D Mo improve and get back-up for Parson and Harden.

    And no, don't just bring CP3 in and no Dwight. CP3 + Harden would be great but unless you have inside "presence", team will not work. And unless Asik becomes one... NO.

    Peace.

    3 star would be too difficult to mange the roster and cap space, unless they take a pay cut to come here.

    Yup thats how I translated it. Everybody thinks its Dwight or bust so they are letting us know that if we cant get Dwight to sign, we will persue CP3.
