    It's difficult to explain to someone who can not discriminate the difference between stars and role players.

    We were comparing players in an individual basis that had nothing to do with his teammates.

    Do you what Casspi is in NBA? He is a classic example of a 'role player.' His basketball skills are limited and his contributions to the team can be easily replaced.

    Do you know why you keep mentioning that his environments is 'bad'? It's funny that Casspi said the same thing when he was in Cleveland. It was bad enough for him that he actually asked for a trade.

    I hate to break it to you but in NBA, the worst thing for a role player to do is asking to be traded. If he does that, he will end up being a bench warmer. The more he moans and complains, the more his ass will be glued to the bench, which was what happened when he was a Cav. He was the cause for Cav's bad environment!

    I am sure by now Casspi realizes he is a role player and only fans like you can't see that. In fact, he is lucky to be a role player for this team and if he were on another team, this could easily be his last year in NBA.

    It seems to me like you are angry.
    Why is that so? :)

    And don't take it to the personal level, I'm a friend ;)

    Look, many players, Lebron and Howard included,
    Asked to change teams. No bad in it. Not every player fitted for every team,
    Exactly like Howard failed to show his abilities
    Alongside the ego of Bryant.

    Casspi has his limitations, but almost all of the other
    NBA players have limitations as well.
    Except of god(Jordan), no one is almost perfect.
    If it's ability wise, or mentally wise.

    But if Casspi would be able to shot the ball well,
    From outside the perimeter and from inside
    And to take the rebounds, like he did in the preseason games,
    He would be huge, HUGE player, all star caliber,
    Never mind his limitations.
    Let me tell you something body, a secret,
    But keep it between us...
    If a player shooting over 50% outside and inside the perimeter
    25 times in a game, he would be an all star,
    Limitations or not limitations :)

    And it's really make no difference, what's went on for him in Cleveland,
    Or for Howard in the L.A

    Of course, as I have said before, there is a chance,
    That his ability would have decline dramatically,
    No ball will go in, the rebounding ability he has shown
    Will not stay the same and he will be a regular team member,
    Rotational player, or would fade away for eternity.

    But, the thread was about, -IF- Casspi,
    Would maintain his preseason ability
    And would have stretch it for a 35 minutes,
    Followed with the same percentages.

    Anything may happen, for good and for bad,
    ,the prophecy has been given to the fools
    and we are just for having fun and be In favor
    Of the players and team.

    So take it easy, man :)

    Who needs Ryan Andersen when you have Omri Caspi? He's our stretch 4 with Dwight.

    The future All Star scored 11 points on "only" 10 shots tonight while playing no defense and not rebounding well and going 0-3 from 3 point range.

    Please don't think too highly of yourself; I never gave you the power to control my emotions.

    Ignorance is bliss.

    Let's hope he didn't shoot his wad off in the preseason.

    A very useful spot up shooter, a la Garcia. Fills in for Delfino.

    I like G-Shock's game, a pleasant surprise. Hope he keeps it up during the real games (no sarcasm intended).

    If you are suffering from hallucinations OP please do not start threads. Casspi will never ever be an all star in the NBA. Ever.
