HOWEVER, you Eastcoast dudes are mad lenient when it comes to evaluating yo players, playa. EASTCOAST BIAS.
Says the dude that thinks D-Fish is one of the game's top PGs.
I never once said that. You should go back to the "manuscripts".
Would somebody that has more time on their hands today than me please repeep the manuscripts and locate the poast where Yuichi, in a flourish of mad Basketball Science, declared D-Fish a better player than Chris Paul?

Dude.....you really need to stop putting words in my mouth.
I probably said something to the effect of Deron Williams > Chris Paul. I would take D-Fish over Chris Paul. And then Edpowers dropped an instant classic. And usually, I refrain from using ambiguous and misleading words like "better player". That ain't what the science is about.

Perhaps my faculties were momentarily overwhelmed by the Basketball Science on display and I misguidedly assumed that you would take the better player.
Luke Walton = $30M over 6 years No doubt Kobe is rethinking his trade demand at this very moment!
Luke is a nice piece on any team.
Not any team. I think his short comings are masked within the Tex Winters triangle. Id hate to see him try to run w/ the Golden State team. He's a rarity like Shane battier - SF/PF combo who does a alot of things that dont register in the stat book. *translation - dude isnt as athletic as the next man but makes up for it w/ savvy/willpower* I the right system he is that Glue guy.
Manu is 10 times the baller that Melo and AI are. And my support for him is inifinite, kinda like the horizon.
Wow--I'd forgotten about that one. I think I'll get it tattooed on my forearm in order to ensure against further lapses. Such TRUTH NUGGETS should be cherished.

I have to apologize - I said Dunleavy, but I meant Luke Walton. A player who The Scientist referred to as "a nice piece on any team."
Can you prove otherwise?
I think we can all agree that Charley Rosen is a decent analyst...
LUKE WALTON ??? LOS ANGELES LAKERS This is a terrific re-signing for both Walton and the Lakers. For sure, Walton has developed into a dangerous 3-point shooter, and has also developed a semi-effective spin-and-fade move in the low post. But it's his passwork and high hoops IQ that makes him so valuable. More valuable, in fact, in the triangle offense than in any other game plan.
NBA watchers will recall the post-triangle careers of the likes of Scottie Pippen, Horace Grant, and Luc Longley, all of whom could never duplicate their effectiveness elsewhere. The same is true of Walton. His skills are perfectly tailored for the triangle and would be much more marginal in any other system.[/b]

Not many systems work as effectively as the Triangle, so why would it matter if he's marginal on any other system?
For those that get NBA.TV they're showing ALL the summer league games in Las Vegas this year. Yesterday I caught the Sonics vs Portland. Durant got off to a very slow start but then started hitting.
Last Season Wallace played a little at the PF position for a while due to frontcourt injuries in Charlotte. He'd be a good addition in Dallas. And he has a Swagger that the team lacks. Plus he'll come in hungry and w/out the monkey on his back that the current team has.

There has also been some indefensible gushing over Kwame.
Can you prove otherwise?
Sure - put him on the Knicks!
That's that Basketball Scientific Method I'm talking about! Hypotheses may only be disproven!

This is a true statement. Walton would fit in just about anywhere. He's got a well-rounded game.
That said, career role-player. YOu need those, though.
That's the actual quote.
GP: career role player = "nice piece"?
Well, okay, those may well have been your words.

I guess it's semantics. My minor point being, you need Waltons on your team.
I cannot get behind "Manu is 10x better than AI".
It can be overwhelming for anybody if not equipped with the proper tools to digest such truth nuggets.
Truly a gem.

I counter this with KB's top 10 dunks from the 06-07 Season:
We have a spot for him here in Dallas
I actually thought about that.
Damp
Dirk
Wallace
Howard
Jet
or
Dirk
Wallace
Howard
Harris/Jet
Jet/Harris

He'd be a good addition in Dallas. And he has a Swagger that the team lacks. Plus he'll come in hungry and w/out the monkey on his back that the current team has.
Should he go to a contender or a "on the cusp" team like Utah?
Utah is legit but could be tweaked...IMO.
Shit- put him in between Kobe and Oden. Or next to Wade. Miami has alot of tweakin to make.
He's better than Quentin Richardson......wink wink.
