Mike James career high is 39 against Detroit.

Nate's a great game changer off the bench for any team. He not only made Portland look helpless with his speed, he made our guys look bad too. Jeffries went ahead and lost that one for us.

As a starter with a set of faster than fast players around him he would be great because the opposition would have to adjust, but he can't be a starter for just any team and be expected to win night in and night out.

Nate is like Lee. Both are solid 6th men. On our team we need them to play above and beyond what they really are. Both would flourish as backups on a good team like the Pistons or the Suns where their deficiencies can be masked.

As starters they are limited and you'd need a magic Coach and GM to make it work.

Ultimately they have the most value in trades and we should not expect to keep them.

i agree. plus on a team like the suns or the pistons they would benefit from a system, and a core of veterans who have bought into the system and show leadership.

i'd like them to be oar 6th and 7th men, with a team and a system in place for them to flourish under.

is that too much to ask?
