Chris made a comparison between Ginobili, Barbosa and Flip Murray.
Herm pointed out that it is flawed to expect similar production to what Ginobili and Barbosa give you to a guy that was signed with the BAE.
Murray makes $1.9m, so comparing his performance to guys that make $9m and nearly $6m is ridiculous.
You get what you pay for.

But I could probably list off 100 guards making similar or less money that are better than Flip. You can't tell me he was all that was available. If we hadn't wasted picks on Cleaves, White, Darko and Delfino then maybe we would have had a decent bench scorer long ago. Sure, a good % thought those were good picks at one time, but the fact remains they never panned out. And i'm not even counting the 2nd rounders. So don't tell me that Flip was simply a product of no availability. We wouldn't have been desperate if we didn't draft so many busts.
Yes, I like Prince and Max, but otherwise our drafts have been junk. (the jury is still out on Amir, Stuckey and AA).
UMMM MEMO?
Not to go census geek on you but you might have to include mall security and parking lot attendants to get that many guards.Quote:

And seriously, Chris, how can you forget those amazing second rounders like Glyniadakis and Blalock and our undrafted hero DUPREE!
Who's mentoring Stuckey right now?
The hell. Who, Von Wafer? You're talking guys not on rookie deals? Nuts, that's just blind hate. Look, he's junk, but he's got a vet's min. contract. Those guys don't play, that is the expectation, and Flip has exceeded that on a contending team.Quote:

When you have 5 highly paid starters it's impossible to invest in the bench, you hope to catch a break, and having a guy who can run out and get you a sloppy 20 points is a gift, not a fucking curse. 100 guys, that's fucking faggotry.
Faggotry: best word ever.
