Everyone, please calm down. Yes, he had a good game last night, but last week he was a nonfactor. The guy is doing his best Cato impersination pre-contract. Don't be fooled. The guy is the second coming of D. Fortson.
can we pick up LaFrenz?? You know, since he balled on us before too? Aw screw it, let's just get Kobe, he balls on us every time... I say we keep TMac (duh), Yao (duh), Rafer, Swift, Howard, Wesley, Head, and fill in the rest and KEEP THEM for a change. With all the darn shuffling you won't ever get a consistent rotation that will provide consistent results.
Well, all I can say about that is.........I have been in favor of bringing in a player like Miles for over a year now. I'm still in favor of it. He would be Van Gundy's new Latrell Sprewell, capable of playing the 2,3, and 4, defensively and the 3/4 offensively. And his value is in the dumper right now. So, I'm still for going after him. Play him at the 3 on offense and let him takest the hardest defensive assignment between the 2 and the 3. We need a little bit of nasty attitude and more athleticism and length at our swing man spot. Even if he stinks it up tonight, I still want him, until we get a better fix at our swingman spots. Darius is one of those types of players that are super talented with NBA proven experience, but have played below their potential, that are possibly attainable. It's one thing to be critical of people's suggestions if you have an alternative or better suggestion that is feasible. To criticize a suggestion when you don't have one yourself is a different matter. We can write off Wilcox. That's dreamcasting. He's re-signing in Seattle for big bucks. But I'm sure Fortson is available. The only thing we can hope for happening with Seattle is Rashard opting out of his contract and wanting to come home and Seattle being willing to work a S&T with us. Possibly Stro, Head, and our #1 for Rashard. Otherwise, I'm sure they'd take Stro for Fortson's expiring deal.
Non factor last week? ... ppg - 16, 16, 18 rpg - 6 , 7, 13 fg% - 50, 45, 50 ------ I have picked him up on my fantasy league after he got traded to Seattle and he has been a beast for me lately. Sonic fans will laugh at Wilcox for JHo or Swift trade proposal. I cant tell if he is just playing hard for the contract, but you cant deny the fact that he is simply getting more playing time in a system that suits him better. His FG% has been always high at 53%.. and it is looking much better in Seattle team at 60%. I'd trade JHo or Swift for Wilcox at heart beat.
hahaha i too picked him up on my fantasy team a while back. if you look into wilcox's past month or so of games, you'll see he has been ballin given a good 25 min or more. he's been boarding and scoring. with the given comparison to stro, could stro do what wilcox has been doing the past month?? my suggestion for wilcox yes, had been started b/c of his game against us, but he's been playing very well. i think he'd be a good pickup imo.
he sure is. i didnt know he's the greatest player of all time cuz apparently the rockets made him look like it
emjohn - Definitely sarcasm. Sorry I didn't include the If an opposing player lights us up for 20 but only averages 8 pts/g...there's a reason. He's putting up 2 or so points in a bunch of other games. It's too easy to find the flavor of the day...a lot more difficult to watch players multiple times and really dig into the shortcomings.
