    hmmm...actually in this league there are plenty of legit-size SG's who can pass way better than Aaron has shown he can do.......a few come 2 mind like the obvious like Tracy and Roy and Wade, but also some other players in the ranks of Aaron like Jason Richardson and Stephen Jackson...

    In the end Aaron is just a finesse shooting guard who happens to be undersized even for a PG...excellent quickness and good handles but passing and defense wise he's got a long way to catchup to Kyle.

    Kyle is actually a legit PG who fits in a lot better with the starting 5 than Aaron does with all Aaron's inefficient high-volume(relatively) chucking. Sure, he scores his points, but those shots are MUCH better if taken by someone else on the team (other than Shane perhaps)

    Agreed. In the clutch and 4th quarter we need Aaron! Obviously.

    Probably should not post private conversations on a message board if you want to remain friends with the guy.

    He did say that MAC was training in Florida with his PT when we all know that he is in CHI. So I am calling this FAKE!

    I didn't mean to imply that he has the legitimate size for a 2 guard. I agree with your comments. This year he needs to pass as well as he can,and score more efficiently.This is going to be hard for him.

    Taylor and Budinger will have to step up,in order to decrease his volume shooting. We can't depend on Tracy alone even if he makes a successful comeback.

    I'm sure the OP posted the conversation to legitimize that he indeed chatted with Landry. Imagine if he just summarized his conversation in his own words, none of Clutchfans would believe him and call it a hoax. It probably wasn't right to paste the entire conversation especially when he specifically told Landry to visit this site but he's just trying to share some info received by Landry. All of this of course is considering that it the real Landry and not some impostor that seem to be very common nowadays on the internet.

    Too bad Landry had a Facebook account in college and closed it shortly after the beginning of his rookie year. I'm just saying. . . .

    Landry will understand..
    The guy's famous.
    All of us are big fans. We're excited. He'll recognize that.
    Not like he told him anything 'insider'.

    If Shane has heard of Clutchfans....
    I'm scared of what he's seen... Haha.
    There was so much hate for the guy last season.

    This is fake for sure a ton of things "carl" said are not the case. Shane and luis are not training buddies. Mac is in chicago. Lowry and carl havent worked out together.

    Aw, come on. Aussie's a reputable poster. Not like I know the guy personally, but it would take a lot of cojones and even more pettiness to fabricate something like this just for attention and rep.

    It's not everyday that someone gets to share words with an NBA player, digital or otherwise. He's probably stoked it happened and wanted to share with some folks that would probably feel the same way if it happened to them. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt.

    And yeah, he's in Chicago for rehab, but he's from Florida. I'd imagine he spends his PT (personal time) there.

    Too bad the link to his facebook account works.

    Perhaps he saw your friend request and added you to his banned list? That would make him no longer show up when you search for him.

    I'm just saying...

    I'm sure aussie isn't making it up. More likely, the 'Carl Landry' he conversed with is an impostor.

    He said he and Kyle have been working out all season. Meanwhile, Jonathan Feigen wrote the following in his blog comments:


    Hey Jonathan, any updates on Kyle Lowry? Thanks.
    I wish him a breakout season.

    (Not much. He trains in Philadelphia. He did come into town briefly to meet with Darryl Eto about the new training techniques. The Rockets seem happy about his off-season work ethic. -- Jonathan)
