Teams have addapted and it's lke they have four guys playing the arc and one in the middle. Teams are playing the initial passing lanes well and Felton's instruction is to take the best option available immediate. It's usually his shot. Unfortunately he's hurt and no one is really playing the post only Amar'e is playing the mid-range. Felton could od better but it's not all on him

Unfortunately, he plays the position that will get most of the blame. Just like a quarterback. The ball goes through the PG all the time and he needs to understand that he needs to setup everybody and not just Amare and himself. I really don't recall any plays for Gallo that Felton intiated or setup other than transition buckets and I don't think we had any of that last night.

And I don't think he's too stubborn to change his ways. He's not a stupid guy.

I think he CAN be... but glad we will have cap flexibility in 2012 to entertain the possibility of CP3 or Deron.

Only if we don't keep Wilson and don't get Carmelo

Not true. Turiaf, Felton, Gallo are all eligible to come off the cap in 2012. That adds up to about $15M right there.

We have 22 mil in guaranteed salary for 2012. Whoever we draft this off-season will make about 3 mil and Melo would be at around $18 mil. That puts us at $43 with $15 mil in cap space--IF you relinquish our cap hold for each of the players you listed above (a highly risky decision). If you relinquish every player we have a cap hold on, trade our first round pick and Mozgov for expiring contracts, and the salary cap doesn't decrease (tons of "ifs"), I think you would have enough to offer one max contract. In practice, I've never heard of a team that already had two players on max contracts offering a max contract to a third player. Miami now is the closest to that but each of their three took less than max contracts.

Lately he is thinking shoot first. You can see his bad shots his feet aren't set the balance isn't there and lately he has been shooting some deep jumpers off the dribble. He needs to get back to the mid range game which I think he is very effective in.

Do you think a lot of that is due to him playing 38 minutes a night? His legs just don't look as fresh to me on his J and he looks like he's using too much arm.

Felton is known to come back from summer a bit out of shape. Yeah i think he is being pushed hard by MDA, but I also think that Felton somewhere began to change his game and has gone away from his early season play. Would like to see him look for his teammates a little more rather than jacking up shots. Who knows maybe he will get a second wind.
