Free Agency

If they know that already about Walker then they need to really question their own ability to evaluate players for high draft picks. He has played a partial season on a very bad team and if he has shown enough bad to write him off then they should not have drafted him.

 

Nash to the Lakers makes a lot of sense. He will have a chance to win a ring and the Lakers need his skills. His age is not a problem for a Lakers team that is in "win now" mode.

 

Well, I think they are at the level of being a starter on a bad team, but there are certainly starters on other team or subs on other teams that are better than them. I think DJ is as good as he is gonna get, hopefully a different system or should I say style of Dunlap will help him. Walker I hope can be better, maybe he turns into an Iverson without the drama, but regardless he is gonna have his limitations.

 

I agree, but they drafted based on a perceived need for a point guard and no starter-quality ones were left after Brandon Knight went #8 to Detroit. They obviously should have taken Kawhi Leonard, which is the pick most of us wanted at the time.

 

It seems like this team has been searching for an elite point guard forever but all they end up doing is replacing one average guy for another.

Leonard is a small forward? If they had taken him maybe they do not take MKG and go with Robinson instead? I think we are going to regret passing on Robinson.

 

Well I think that most of the time any team can say, we should have taken this player over the one we did, but lets just hope they got a keeper in MKG so that we can at least be happy with that. It's still a crap shoot most of the time when you draft, it's just more of a gamble on some players vs. others. The leadership just has to learn how to do whatever they need to do on evaluating talent vs. need and raise that percentage a lot.

 

You're far too obsessed with low post scoring. Robinson is solid, but will never be anything special. No one will ever regret passing on him.

 

Perhaps I am but it is certainly something we lack.

 

This is a wing players league. You don't have to have that big scoring machine in the middle as much anymore. Still you need someone to rebound. If Elton Brand wasn't beaten up (waived today) I'd say make a run at him. I really think Jamison is going to sign.

 

weird, i don't remember his name coming up on the board beyond a passing mention or two.
