Thought so.

That's a commercial for all young players that takes their skills for granted. Just because you get drafted you still have to grow your skills. I think dwill has a great opportunity here to change that perception and use the ny media to his advantage.

Jury, stating the obvious, is still out for Old Man Fisher. Hopefully, he can coach this young man to reach his potential.

Isnt "I think" implied when you make a post? Its just someone opinion right?

No, not putting "I think" or "I predict" before it changes it into a statement of fact.

Adelman never struck me as somebody that developed yoots. He liked his vets. Mike Malone was a disaster. Same with Corbin. Karl was just too late last year.

I am not sure that Fisher will be that good of a coach; specifically, when it comes to developing young players. Phil will definitely have to play a much bigger role for our young players to grasp the Triangle. If Carmelo was a player like Jordan or Lebron or Wade, I would have a lot more confidence in Fisher.

I think Fisher is doing a good job of changing how we get into the triable. We were much to predictable last season.

DWilliams is still young, has the tools and some experience. He is also being paid nice and given a good opportunity.
Looks like Dallas did a good job and thru some decent euro money his way to secure NDour for the year.
ALL teams make boo-boo's, even the best ones. Dallas if not for DJordan's backing away would have had a much tighter cap and not generous room for NDour. Sometimes opportunties just happen for some players.

Seems like media and fans need that one thing to chew on to hate on phil. He's a big boy, he'll survive.

Maybe we an also hope that Dwiliams has a break out type season and we can applaude Phil for this signing?

Financially they would have had the same ability to sign N'dour because it is a minimum contract. They just guaranteed more money of a contract that the league pays part of.
