    I fear you are putting way too much emphasis on PER.

    Papanikalou should definitely be in the rotation. He's our 2nd best play maker. It's a shame he's buried on the bench. Come on Mchale give him a chance!:eek:

    Perhaps the OP should just stick to the NFL since his NBA fandom clearly needs work.

    LOL this is such a bad petition,almost everything the Op said is wrong.

    First of all, missing Dwight doesn't mean less offense, it means less DEFENSE because is only an average scorer but a ridiculously good HOF level (in this watered down big man era) defender. So taking out Ariza in favor of even more offense is useless because what we need is defense to offset losing Dwight. Kostas is a nice well rounded player but overall he is still worse than Ariza that's why Ariza should get the lion's share of PT.

    If we need more offense the one that should be replaced is Beverly, since his D hasn't been good and his offense is hit or miss. Ariza's D has always been consistent and he is a big part of the Rox success, if he wasn't there hounding Jimmy Butler all game long Butlet might've gone off for 40 pts with the he has been playing.

    What else should I emphasize, the fact Papanikolau has been garbage since before we were eating your mom's turkey sandwich back in November?

    The fact that Dorsey can actually defend and probably the best rebounder left on the team?

    Papanikolau has been straight ass since his injury. he's lucky capela looked worse.

    Why don't we merge this thread with the Cole/Whiteside thread and sticky it so it stays at the top of the GARM?

    if only Ariza can give us 44 or even 42% consistently...he would be poor man's Kyle Korver but with defense

    These petitions work so well, too!

    Every time we do one here on ClutchFans, Les, Morey and McHale immediately jump into action to implement our latest genius plan, honed from our combined years of experience playing and coaching at the NBA level.

    Or maybe not.

    Lock it up!! Papa is trash. He's like the Jeremy Lin of this team. Can occasionally shoot the 3 and even make a decent play, but most of the time drives into the lane and turns it over.

    fairly debatable.

    I thought this was a troll post, but OP seems serious.
