    Hell no. We should have signed Briante Weber. That kid is nice. Lockdown defender.

    Take half Hardens offensive rebounds plus his steals plus his charges drawn and you can use that number to offset some of Hardens turnovers. The leftovers you can then multiply by 2.34 and then subtract them off his net points scored above another common player. And then you'll start to see what happens to Harden amazing offensive efficiency. It gets watered down to slightly above average efficiency when you account for his net turnovers. And we're not even dealing with his poor defense yet.

    That's just a small fraction of it. And don't waste your time asking for the rest. You wouldn't understand it anyways.

    Yeah I'm glad I wouldn't understand it as this is the same crap you use to evaluate players resulting in world beaters like Ricky Rubio, Spencer Dinwiddie, Josh Harrellson etc.

    Not true. Didn't use this on Dinwiddie. I advocated for Dinwiddie based on a moment in time, a roster spot, and the eye test from college. Would have been a riskless trial. It's geniuses like you that keep pumping the fake news that im all in for Dinwiddie. It's was circumstantial.

    Same with Harrellson. With who we were keeping and playing I knew Harrellson was a better fit than some of them. It was at a given moment in time. Had nothing to do with a formula that requires more data that those two players have to offer because of their limited careers.

    Think about players you wanted 6 years ago? Any changes or are you still locked in on the same ones regardless of the coach, system, and rest of the roster?

    Give it a rest with your amateurish punk attempts.

    No. If anything, he flops instead of actually trying to defend.

    I would say the success of flopping are very much contingent upon the match up.

    Brewer flopping while guarding Boogie in the post is going to go much better than Varejao guarding John Henson for example.

    There are still players like Briante Weber out there. Dallas brought up Yogi Ferrell and they've been rejuvenated. Other deserving NBADL players who deserve a look: Vander Blue, Quinn Cook, Jalen Jones, Russ Smith, John Holland, Hollis Thompson and Jordan Crawford.

    And that's just the D-League. There are good players all over the world in foreign leagues. Again, talking about back ups here.
