I'll stick to field goal percentage, 3 percentage, rebounds per game, defense and age with fields.

You stick to opinions and highlight videos.

My bad.

Landry Fields has better stats than alot of NBA SG's. He has better percentages and rebounds than Kobe Bryant. So what.

Reality is Landry Fields has weak handle and has difficulty creating his own shot. Im still waiting for Wilson Chandler to develop that SG handle.

let me get this straight... when you throw something in someone's face, it's cool?

Can dish it out, but can't take it, I suppose

I've been right and wrong on many occasions, but I never advertise it (unless that person was an Isiah fan and still is, that's unforgivable). I admit it and I move on. I don't need to make threads to validate myself whether I am right or wrong. I want what is best for the franchise and not what is best for me to look good. And that is not directed at you and neither is anything else. It's the point I'm trying to make. Good arguments and discussions are great but when they dissolve into "I'm better than you" then it gets irritating.

Keep trying to fan the flames.

a sophisticated, well-articulated brand of hypocrisy. I will give you that

Center or point guard only.

I'm pretty sure we can all agree that's what we need

No, other than the 3 and 4, we need upgrades everywhere else, including the 2. Not saying JR is the answer, but we def need a more reliable 2.

We don't need another person to create their own. That's why we have stat and Melo. We need someone who can spot up for the open j and finishes reliably on the rim when he has a chance, rebounds and plays all out. Oh wait we have Fields.

Fields next to felton was a great mix. Lando next to billups is not as.

Fans see results but Coaches have to project what could be and be accountable for results.

Fields is a slasher and good open shooter. He'll get better. JR at 25 is who he is. I think a great off the bench player and if he gets a brain a Jason Terry type.

We need Lando's rebounding and intangibles.

The rest I'll let Walsh or whomever figure it out. What do we know.

So Amare and Carmelo will never miss games for the next 4 yrs of their contract? We need a 3rd guy who can put the ball on the floor and score. If we had Chris Paul or Deron Williams we could get by without a prototypical SG. Thing is we arent getting either and PG's who can facilitate AND score come a premium.

If we had a 3rd scorer we might have squeezed out a win in game 2.

You don't try to acquire pieces by considering what you'll need if your star player(s) get hurt. You add pieces by considering what type of help your star(s) need when someone else may need to step up.

Take James Harden for example. He is the PERFECT piece for the KD/Westbrook tandem, and he's more of a spot up shooter than creator.

So the ninety percent or so times that we have both our stars healthy what does jr do? Spot shoot worse than fields? Improve team chemistry with his great on and off court demeanor? If we got him instead of a big or point we'd truly be in that's so crazy it might just work territory.

Please show me the great C, SG, and PG prospects that we can get with the MLE.

We probably would have to sign & trade for JR Smith because he is worth at least 7 million per in the open market.

You arent getting James Harden who was the 5th pick in the draft.

JR Smith can hit spot up shots and create. The guy is versatile. Heh I'd love to get a young Ray Allen but that isnt happening.

No one said we should go after Harden.

Im saying we aren't going to get a Harden type player on the open market this summer.
