An Amar'e who is obviously not the same as he was last year, and cannot create shots for himself. A Tyson Chandler who will not be involved in the offense unless someone sets him up. Another player who cannot create shots for himself in Fields. A low IQ player in TD. A player who can create shots for himself in a league without offensive fouls in Walker. I mean there is just no way without a legit pg.

don't bother - most don't get it. i've made this point countless times and only a few seem to understand it.

I mean I just don't understand how that isn't obvious.

That was a management decision. You are right about what the coach needs and the team went for a center which the team also needed. I don't think the new management team is building the team around what they think will make the coach successful. However, if he is your coach you get him guys that can run what he does. He was left high and dry this year with the only option being adjust to the roster.

They aren't that good. Check that, they aren't good at all.

LOL. Baron is going to stop Melo from chucking up 26 bad shots out of 29 shots. Baron is going to have Amare play solid defense. LOL

Baron is (hopefully) going to orchestrate an offense instead of handing it off to Melo in the backcourt
Baron is (hopefully) going to create shots for our big man instead of watching STAT alternate between dribbling off his leg in the paint or flat out barrel into the defender.
Baron is (hopefully) going to be a legitimate scoring option when Melo and Amar'e can't find their shot and combine for 10/40 from the field.

Lot of hope going on on my part, just because of how catastrophic this team has been so far...but I'd love to hear which of these expectations are unreasonable.

Melo will still get the play on the elbow and every one including Baron will clear out. Melo will still take contested shots.

I'd say he is lost and in misery. The team is awful.
