JR wasn't really a player we developed and he was going to be expensive when he picked up his option. Shump was a tough call but I think we needed to move on from him. He was going to cost a bit too much next year. He's in a good situation for him now. Hopefully we can develop another young SG who fits better.

im a big fan of middleton but milwaukee will keep him. he'll probably get $10 mill

i vote we go after D. Green...hes an adequate defender, knock down shooter and a winner of course.
id settle for gerald green but he reminds me of JR

Russell is a legit SG with SG size and PG passing skills. Not sure about his defense, but he's better than Calderon. If you want to grown a SG, Russell is your man.

I like Russell but he lacks speed and athleticism. His defense will suffer in the NBA lacks the quickness needed. As you saw he wasn't to difficult to shut down. He is a weak finisher do to his lack of explosion.

But the potential is there.....He seems like the mature type to improve on his weaknesses. But thats the thing about drafting freshmens.....They are not finish products, so you have to hope the reward out weighs the risk.

I reserve the right to keep changing my mind and if ever challenged on my logic, I'll just point out how wrong other people are for not thinking like me.

Every post from you is an attempt to be personal and nasty. I'm sure I could post negative stuff about others as well but I'm not like that in real life I actually have a sliver of integrity and class.
This is the same concept I have said 29 times already. I've posted one name will barton for heap and to but 2nd round draft picks in what will be an unprecedented amount of guard talent that could really help the knicks.

By the way my name is Eric Naarden I have homes in madison lyme and westbrook c t which I can be fiund in any on any certain day. I'm on facebook so you can get a glimpse of what I look like my wifes almost 5-4 so you can kind of get a notion of the size of the person u r talking to

its all good. we all have different opinions here. we just need to respect them

That's fine I've been here 13 years and I've rarely said much negative to anyone. I can take a ribbing like anyone else that's all good. But this guy rosen has been undue nasty towards me and each person has a punk level they will hit. I undertstand mr rosen is in his 70s and maybe his ensure is not settling well in his belly but that doesn't give u a blank check to be an arsehole.
