Have you watched the Nets at all this season? He's not engaged. He'll pick and chose when he's going to ahve a good night. I used to think he's the kind of guy that could put a team on his back and make them into a 3/4 see in their conference. The Nets have been abysmal and it just seems he checked out early in the seaosn.

I really do not watch the Nets but also, do you judge players just on one season or over their careers.

You're new here, so let me splain.

Judgements are made on how players fit into the individuals fantasy league/real gm trade scenarios/possible picks in imaginary drafts. It's got nothing to do with performance, careers or anything tangible.

And don't site stats. It's bad form unless you have some fuzzy logic to go with them.

Yea... that smells very likely actually

Nah. He's "Marbury the second" because he's stuck in Jersey and he doesn't want to be there. He's still fourth in the league in assists and is the second-best point guard in the league when he cares (but he's more durable than the best point guard in the league).

From a talent standpoint you put that trade on the table. I'd put Lin/Stat for Humphries/Dwill on the table and see what happens. Maybe Jersey takes it and maybe they don't.

LMFAO!!

Do Starbury's come to us or do we make Starbury's?

First, cant see the Nets trading to two injured players, one of them with a hefty contract and a history of being injured. Second, I would like to keep pur team in tact, however, lets be objective here, there is no way Lin is a better player than Deron Williams.

Melo's not the point guard, why shouldn't he score buckets?

But I'm sayin, what chew sayin??

It's more fun to watch Deron drop some buckets and ill nasty dimes than it is to watch Melo dribble dribble and throw his rib cushions around

ChuckBuck wrote:I know Deron Williams is good, possibly the best point guard in the game, but his game stylistically is off-putting to me. Like it's easy to say he's scoring point, a Marbury but with a couple more assists, just something about his game that's a turn off. There's just something wrong when your point guard is leading your team in scoring every night (No offense to Linsanity).

With Brook lopez being out most of the year, who, other than Deron has the capability to lead that team in scoring? That team is awful. When Deron was in Utah, surrounded by much better talent, Boozer actually lead the team in scoring. Williams scoed out of necessity on the Nets.

BTW, Isiah Thomas, one of the top 4 pgs' of all time lead his team in scoring on more than several occasions.
