nash can shoot, rubio to date hasnt been able to. that might limit things and that is a bad recipe for that system.

Playing for MDA almost all guards improve their shooting and that included Nash. My bet is so would Rubio. Haven't we seen this happen enough to know PG's play better under MDA?

How about Tony Douglass?

NO ONE could make TD into a PG. Besides that's about the only one that didn't get better.

MDA having to try TD at the PG shows how problematic the roster was at that time. It speaks volumes to the "Clumsy" roster was had.

prior to drafting TD, his clips/highlights had not shown him making one single pass to a team mate..I looked all over the place for some of his college high lights. Just showed him shooting at will, and gambling on defense. I think he had one double digit assit game in his entire career thus far. Even duhon elevated his game under MDA..

Ok, we agree. We drafted TD NOT to play point. WHat was up with the roster that neccessitated this? YOu saying MDA has no record of improving PG play? Not sure what your saying.

Yet we amnesty CB and make TD our starting PG. How did we possibly expect to be successful with this move?

Dude do you remember that CB tore is acl litte after we amnestied him and he miss the entire yr.

Then everybody would have been like the knicks are retards for keeping a 34 yr old pg..

Besides he was way to slow to run anything close to mda's system

So he tore his ACL, sh1t happens. But even if by some fluke, it happened here. He was going to expire. Then, we amnesty Amare that same summer that CB expires.

Guess what ...

Too slow? How about BD? Bibby? TD? He was not too slow and actually played well for LAC.

There was nothing flukey about CB's injury woes, the guy broke down after his first 22 games as a knick, and we went into the playoffs with TD anyway. There was zero reason to believe he would last a season or anything close to it.

You have to face reality, MDA never had any kind of real team here, and he certainly wasn't responsible for bringing majority of them in.

Most of the lakers players had career years offensively, but look up and down that line up, none of them were remotely associated with DOY.

I'll bet a whole lot of $ that MDA gets a HC job (in the nba or college)before woodson..

You can't predict an ACL and look at his history before that. Did not miss that many games.

And, regardless its irrelevant. He was an expiring that could have helped us out a lot. Instead we overpay for a flash in the pan(ish) type of player while bidding against nobody and ... you know the rest.

Also, you want to gamble on a guy like rondo for multiple years yet you were worried about CB's expiring?

Achilles not ACL if you are talking about Billups.

Right ... I I think that may be more of an age thing but not 100 percent sure.

Still irrelevant

who did we actually miss out on signing? jennings, Josh Smith. We where so bad defensively, had no one to anchor the middle, had no defensive culture at all until tyson. I think Your being bias because you hate amare. There really hasn't been a marquee FA available since Melo got here

Granted some of these players signed with their own teams but there were a lot of good to great players that signed contracts.

most of these players were traded to there current teams, aside from dragic, i really don't see anyone on that list that filled the pg spot. Not to mention we thought we were getting the "MDA FELTON" not the "FAT BOY FELTON"

Our need was at Center, coming off a championship in which Tyson had change the culture in Dallas,it was a no brainer at the time
