more long 2's. Perfect! Phil is gonna really love this guy and has him saying all the right things.

Man you guys need to get a grip with this Triangle hate stuff. O'Quinn said that he had been working on his 3pt shot and was trying to extend his range. He's already good from midrange but was asked to shoot more corner 3's.

Kyle O’Quinn: “I’m working on the same things I always do. I’m trying to expand my game, learn from my mistakes last year and focus on little things like screen-setting, rolling out of screens faster, picking my spots on the pop shot. Of course, I’m working on my jump-shot, some go-to moves in the post, my conditioning and body, things like that. The biggest thing for me is sharpening up the things that I do well. I do want to get better at shooting corner threes. Last year, I was asked to do that and I want to keep working on that and expanding my range. I’m just sharpening everything so that I’m more comfortable and confident with my shot. At Impact, they help you become an all-around player, so I’ll be ready to play any role that’s asked of me. I’m following the Impact plan.”

I'm not hating on any triangle ,it.just concerns me that when kyle o Quinn was interviewed during the commentary of the spurs knicks game in summer league ,he said he wants to take more long twos.

Orlando was trying to force O'Quinn to be something he's not. That's why they fired their coaching staff. O'Quinn can shoot the three but it doesn't mean he should. Corner threes in the flow of the offense is doable, but just spotting up is not useful to us. That long two will be there the same way it was there for smith and Bargnani.

You have no problem with that? Are you aware that the long two is the most inefficient shot in the game?

You really have to not buy into this media trope about long 2's. That's not really the focus of the Triangle. It's just one aspect of the offense that media guys have focused on but they don't tell you that the Triangle has been one of the more efficient offenses and just as efficient as any of today's offenses. The numbers prove that the Triangle has been one of the most efficient offenses and by focusing on the long 2's trope it tells a false story about the offense.

Listen you can't fake being efficient or not. You either have an efficient offense or you don't. Triangle has been efficient.

Nix. For the second time, I'm not taking shots at the offense itself, I'm taking shots against kyle o Quinn when he said he wanted to take longer twos triangle or no triangle. There is no need for him to be doing that you and me both know that.

Affalo
Quinn

Signings. All were low cost manuevers and each guy will be a valuable contributor. I think the only head scratcher was Williams. You can't not overpay a guy when you ask him to wait around and see if you sign DeAndre Jordan. Lopez is a solid center that got overpaid by about 2.5MM a year not terrible.

Guys that took reasonable deals that might have been interesting.

Scola - 3MM - but he wanted to play for a contender
Brandon Wright - again contender
Gerald Green - Riley has proven himself in 3 cities and taken 3 teams to the finals

But, i think it's a sneaky good offseason and if melo buys in these pieces will fit nicely around him and realy put him in a position for success. Wasn't really much else the team could have done.
