With Chandler you just have to be able to drive and throw the ball anywhere within a 2 or 3 foot radius and Chandler will put it in. It helps when you have several guys hitting 40% of their 3s also. We have Felton because we didn't have the money available to get a better PG. He's not awful by any means. Clearly guys like Bibby, Douglas, and and Davis couldn't do last year what Felton does but he doesn't have any admirable unique abilities either.

Name them...

I actually agree with him on the surface at present.

But I do believe Felton will be invaluable come playoff time, and thats where the separation will be.

CP, Deron, Rondo, Lawson, TP, Westbrook, Rubio, Kyrie, Conley, Jennings, Teague, Jrue, Steph Curry, Calderon, Wall, Miller.

All of these guys could fit and produce with the talent we have, and i may have left some off.

Most NBA players have their ups and downs...Those who don't have their ups and downs are our Superstars...Felton is not a Superstar...He will have ups and downs..But what he brings to the table fits Chandler's ability, Jkidd's ability and most important Amare's skill sets like a glove...Calderon can't do it and isn't better, Miller can't get into the lane like that and isn't better, Steph Curry don't get into the lane like that, Teague is not better...All the others are and will be getting paid like Superstars...Felton is outperforming his contract right now..Like Walt said, he is having a better year than DWill...

What this team needs and what Felton does isn't quite the same.

There is a reason Felton is rarely on the court without another pg with him.

He's ok, but definitely not great.

The point is there are plenty of pg's who can do what felton does WITH this squad.

What this team needs and what Felton does isn't quite the same.

Who is saying he is great or saying no one else can't do it, I'm just saying there aren't 20 guys who can do what he is doing...And if they exist, they weren't available and won't come cheap either...Let's get real...Felton is better than Lin, period...I don't understand you point about what this team needs...When Felton aggressively gets into the lane, we are a different team, period...We need a player who can draw attention by penetrating...Melo and JR are the only guys who can create their own shots...Last night he didn't get into the lane until late into the game and we looked bad...

The guy is shooting poor and it has affected his confidence...But in terms of coming back down to earth, it's his shot selection that is bad...This offense is based on Felton being aggressive, getting into the lane and Melo on a few iso's...He draw attention then he dumps it...The shet has been working all year...If Felton doesn't get into the lane, JKidd, Brewer, and Chandler all are hampered offensively...Am I the only one seeing this??...His defense is still good, and he rebounds well...So many here are rooting for this guy to fail...It's truly amazing..
