I didn't call Isles any names, and I actually think he's very smart. He just disappointed me here because it's a discussion forum, not a blank statement forum. Several people replied to him because they wanted to get a discussion going. He usually gives us a good discussion but not this time I guess.

I did not say you called him(?) names. I pointed out that you must be joking because he rarely posts anything that can be described as a "solid argument". As a matter of fact, "blank statements" is a good description of his(?) entire UK career. That is why I wrote: "Surely you jest".

As I explained before, constantly calling people Morons, etc. is not a solid argument, and being negative about everything, no matter what it is, is not a solid argument either. It is simple(ton) ass-holery.

"Good discussion" from whatshisname!...that was a good one Bon!

oohah

Oh, I thought you were lashing out against me in your previous message. I totally misunderstood!

I went and looked at a lot of Gallinari articles and watched more YouTube vids of the guy and actually he's pretty impressive in his all around offensive game. Of course they don't show him playing D and from the stats he's no David Lee on the boards, but the guy plays like a guard at 6=9. He's got some serious BB IQ. He can run and though he's not super explosive, he's a decent athelete. His handle is very good and he moves around guys on the break with ease. He can pass too, so I really think he would do well in the NBA under D'Antoni and I doubt very much that he'd be a bust.

DG is playing against good competition and he's just a kid. He's already a leader on his team and that's impressive. How much do we need smart and skilled players on this team. We all know BB IQ is one of our weaknesses. IF you could add a Carlos Arroyo or J. Calderon to the mix that would give us a couple of smart players who can move the ball well.

i agree w/u on DG... don't like the idea of adding Arroyo, i think Nate is already a better player & i don't see us getting Calderon unless we trade TOR the pick.

Wait, nixluva can come up with his scouting report on Gallinari and you'll agree with him, meaning you're drawing conclusions on him as well, but what I said about him has no basis???

Please explain the double standard.

Well doesn't Nix have the family blood line running through him from the person who's scouting DG?

there is no double standard... he based his commentary on scouting reports he's read & i think from those same scouting reports it SOUNDS as if this kid COULD BE a good match for D'Antoni's system... i asked u for some clarification on your commentary & the best you could come up with is a "trust me, i know".
