    i feel like nobody has really noticed and i can't blame them, but ever since jason kidd got traded to the mav's, he has been on fire from 3pt range. he shot 46% last year and is at 40.7% this year. not that he takes a whole lot of them, but i find it incredible that a guy who has shot 34% from 3 for his whole career can become a 40+ % shooter from 3 at this late stage in his career. if kidd can do it, anybody can do it.

    If he wants to come back to the NBA, I expect a lot of teams will be after him.

    Including the Rockets.

    :D

    I'm still not convinced AB is the PG of the future. He still shoots Rafer percentages.

    and I think vspan hate the Rockets. At least maybe JVG and CD

    Yep, and neither of them are here anymore, but IF he comes back (big if) I think teams will be lining up with a portion of their MLE money to sign him.

    and guys, stop with the Jkidd comparisons. Hes nowhere the playmaker Jkidd is and doesn't have the size to be the defender and rebounder j-Kidd once was, and maybe still is?

    kyle lowry = andre miller!!!

    now, thats something I love

    I think Kyle is a better defender than Miller.

    No way, DD, VSpan is only a legend in yours and his mind. VSpan was absolutely HORRIBLE in every way! Can't see him as an NBA player, don't think he is mentally tough enough.

    It was his rookie year, he had his moments, but overall struggled, as he was adjusting to a new league, new rules, a different position, and had a coach that he didn't get along with, that is a lot to overcome.

    He is an accomplished Euro player as well as international BBall.

    He is probably the best PG in Europe, I expect NBA teams would line up for a shot at him, if he comes over.

    And, IMO, he would fit very well in Rick Adelman's offense...

    Bringing in Vspan would effectively relegate Brooks to Earl Boykins status...
