    Look, I realize that you're a newbie; but someone just disagreed with your post & all we get outta you is "It's ok haha"!?! Whattar you trying to do, refresh CF! :grin::cool:

    By the way, I was thinking along the lines of Pull_Up_3; but I like your reasoning for why Utah goes for IT.

    As for us getting Dragic & Plumlee from the Suns as others have suggested, I don't see that. The Suns're thin under the basket. Why would they 1 of their 2 centers?

    Of course a pass first PG makes players make more wide open shots. This is often a function of passing the ball at the right second, height, speed, bounce, position on the floor, etc.

    A good PG will also create more dunks rather than, for example, wide open mid range shots - which is, incidentally, the least efficient wide open shot. A wide open dunk is not the same as a wide open 3.

    Another advantage is that it is likely to make the team less tired from making plays, and fresher legs = better % on shots.

    A pass first PG will also - surprise - distribute the ball more efficiently based on who should take shots or make plays at that moment. For example, he might shut out Ariza on the 3pt line if Arza is 1 of 9 and start going to D-Mo who is 6 of 8 inside.

    You also have to take into account that when Dwight returns - and if he doesn't return then it doesn't matter who we acquire - the opposing team C is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY less likely to offer help on D and leave Dwight open (as opposed to Dorsey).

    I think it's cause there were rumors (not sure where they originated) that the Suns have essentially given up on Plumlee being worth an extension.

    No. Plumplee asked to be traded himself because of Len. Ofc he went to management not the media like Kanter.
    A lot of young primadonnas centers in the league lately who think they can be starters

    lol maybe I don't take myself so serious.:grin:

    The Suns already are gonna sign their second round pick 7-1 center. So a disgrunted Plumplee is for sure made available BUT according to FO leaks for a 1rnd pick which is not worth.
    That's why Utah and Phoenix are good trading partners. One is loaded in frontcourt the other in backcourt.

    Maybe it took a first rounder and the PHX Suns to lose hope.

    It sounds good good to be true though.

    He's a third option behind Len & Wright but is good enough to make more than the minimum. Don't need rumors to see his exit.

    According to Gerry Woelfel Bogut's 2010 injury was not serious and he would be back in 2 weeks.
    According to Gerry Woelfel Milwaukee has signed Bledsoe already.
    According to Gerry Woelfel Parker's injury was just a sprain and everyone was happy.
    Gerry Woelfel = post things to be in the spotlight.
    And now every site is writing articles with him cited as a source.:rolleyes:
    You can't believe how frustrating this guy is. And when after he posts yet another garbage he suddendly " doesn't know how to use twitter" to read the fans backlash.
    The Bucks true insider straight from the FO even made fun of those who still listen to him and said he is the joke when he pitifully walks around the stadium.

    What about Enes Kanter? Thought I heard he was another guy who was looking for a change of scenery. With Dwight being out for a prolonged period we need a serviceable NBA 5.

    What would it take?

    It could change with a new team, but Kanter, by the eye test, is such a net negative on the floor. Don't want him near this team

    He is a 4, who is an ok scorer, and decent rebounder. His defense is terrible.
    Not a good fit for us.

    Kanter is like Al Jefferson with worse defence and passing skills. It would take like a late first in overall value.

    Thanks for the rundown, had no clue who this guy was.

    I'm not of the group that thinks dragic is untouchable, but it will certainly take more than this.

    I was thinking Pelicans pick jones papa caanan for dragic and plumlee
