Really worth the read.

Do you agree with the writer?

Right, the issue is whether it's meaningful to be on the top of that list

it isn't. not a fan of the PER since as you have stated and the article warns that volume shooting inflates the measure.

Yeah, I deleted it after thinking about how improbable a worthwhile discussion was but you were too fast!

Right, but as usual, neither of you even read the other lists. Because they just might shed some light on the cancer of the franchise.

Of course, you can now both agree that Baron Davis is a more valuable player than Melo, because he's on a list that Melo doesn't even appear on. Hopefully he makes his comeback and we can keep Stat, PDiddy and get CP3 and we'll be all set.
