That pretty much sums it up for me. Well said.

We may need more but we can't get more.

I was reading it more as we need more from Fields if we keep him. Hope it's a productive offseason.

Yeah, that makes more sense.

How can we believe he will bring anything more to the table. He did nothing to improve his shooting last off-season. In fact his shooting got worse, which makes me question his work ethic. Can anyone name any tangible improvement that he actually made between years 1 and 2. Shooting didn't seem any better, neither did his ball handling which, as a 2guard, needs to be better.

As of right now, he is Shandon Anderson with less defense.

which is why he probably will only get a min offer of $1M, and at that price you keep him and see what happens and how he develops.

Didn't we already go through that? I know I said what I thought he improved upon. He did make it a priority to improve his conditioning and his athleticism from what I saw.

And how are you gonna question his work ethic? You have no idea what he did or did not do. Neither do I but know he worked on his hops, that's for sure.

because improving ones leaping and conditioning is great if hes a long jumper but in the NBA jumping ability and conditioning alone is not a tangible benefit. It didn't truly help in any aspect of his game. Sure he got maybe 1 or 2 dunks every few games and was less likely to get tired but, it did nothing to improve his efficiency or value.

Any time a rook comes back into his 2nd year the same player or worse, you have to wonder about his work ethic. I'm not saying he has a bad work ethic but, one has to wonder.

Had to kill Spike deep inside to be forced to wear a Fields jersey all year to keep from looking stupid and not switch to Shump or Lin. Although he did wear Lin's high school and harvard uni's. I remember Spikes reaction when Fields was drafted. Utter Disdain then he changed his tone once he realized he was being disrespectful to one of his own. Not that he knew Fields was going to be garbage but hindsight his reaction was appropriate

unfortunately for Fields he has done nothing to earn $2-3M next year. He'll be offered a 1-year deal at around $1M.
