Who is a better player? And which one fits out rotation better? If you have to trade one of them, who would you choose? It is killing my brain. This could be an inevitable question.
Actually we don't think we need to worry about it because I think KT has proven he can play the 3 which would mean a long term rotation of Ming, Cato EG, MoT KT, Boki Cat, Hawkins Francis, Moochie
Agree with rockbox. Plus I like the 5 man rotation available at 4 and 5 with Griff,KT,Mo,Yao and Cato. However,yes I do remember how good Mo can be,but I can't help but like KT's game and overall hustle and effort on both ends. There's something about that guy that I think we'll live to regret if we end up shipping him out or letting him walk. So if we had to move one,I'd say Mo.
I agree with Rockbox. Start KT at the 3 and bench Rice for good. Glen Rice has shown he doesn't deserve to be in the rotation, and it would be good to play Boki so he can learn for the future.
We'll have a good idea by this time next month, but I put my money on MoT fitting in better with this team by that time.
I thought Yao is also a SF!!!! No jokes apart I think we rather be one or two guys available when someone goes down. I think we need to ease out Rice and keep feeding the others.
I know that Rudy expected more from Rice, but he doesn't really give us anything that we weren't already getting from Walt Williams the last couple of years. Even Walt had his hot streaks.
We won 47 games with MoT, 28 with out MoT. Its a not brainer, MoT is the better player. If we have to get rid of one of them then it sould be KT.
MoT would fit in pretty good with any team, he was a two time leading scorer with the Clips. But KT wont be competing for minutes at the 4, Eddie G will. Seems to be clear Kennys minutes at the 4 will be situational, unless there is an injury, With MoTs return KT officially becomes a 3.........
NO . . we won 47 ganes with MO T and Stevie playing 70+ games and the HALF a Dream on our team We won 28 with KT, No Dream and Stevie out for 20 some odd games Rocket River
Exactly RR... anyway, KT is a better, more versatile player and he makes a lot less money..so to answer your question about who to trade, its Mo.
rockbox:- I like your post! You are right about KT as SF,he could be with us for quite some time. The only improvement I would like to see happen is that Norris could be improved upon as backup Point Guard.
Ill say one thing, if KT can prove that his performance against GS was the rule rather than the exception, then i would choose KT hands down. I really liked how KT got his teamates involved and besides shooting, I cant think of any areas where Mo has the edge over him.
I expect Kenny will be looking for a pretty solid payday, so that really shouldn't be much of an issue. If he can play consistently like he did against GS, then you'd be hard pressed to argue against getting rid of KT. I mean, even in all of his dribbling and shooting over double teams, he still dished out 6 apg. It was one of his most complete games ever, imo, although he faded at the end. Let's wait and see what happens, though.
