You're a tough motherfucker GD.
It will give us a look at a team that is game-planning with him in mind. In the playoffs teams get a solid look at everyone they're playing against. Will he be able to put up those same numbers when teams know exactly what to expect from him? That's what you wanted to see, no?
Exactly my point.
That doesn't mean that I should pass judgement on Bynum as a player if he has a shitty series though.
He's never played in the playoffs.
He's never come up against a team that will have ways to exploit him, while they also look to take away his strengths.
You can't just see a guy fail in that setting and say he's done - you have to allow him the opportunity to improve and come back with a more complete game.
I hope Joe allows AA, Bynum and Stuckey to stick here for the next 2 seasons. Let's see what we really have before throwing it away. I look at some teams throwing young guys away and I wonder WTF are they thinking.
Rodney Carney is an unrestricted free agent this off-season - check out his game log for the last month. Same goes for Rashad McCants.
Young guys take time - we have time. Our run is over. Let's not piss talented youngsters away in an effort to rebuild super quick and then fall short again. Let's take our time and do it right - I doubt Joe's job is on the line anytime soon.
Bynum's going to be back next year no matter what. So if he goes out there in the playoffs and plays like garbage who am I to tell you that you can't assign meaning to that if you want to? It might not be smart, but to be not smart is your prerogative.
We were idiots to get rid of Darko while he still had a little value.
Ooh, that's good.
P, If I'm wrong about something I usually try to admit it. I'm just going to have to go ahead and admit here that you are wrong.
No chairs to the head for me. I don't know who this Foley cat is, but he must be pretty fucking cool with a middle name of Tahoe.
We need tradeable pieces. Stuckey is a piece Joe can use now that Bynum has stepped up.
Why can't we give Bynum the PG spot the same way we GAVE IT TO STUCKEY? Stuckey didn't earn a fuckin thing. JoeD gave it to him. I'm ok with all of that, but lets try to stay consistent. If we can give it to Stuck, we can crown Bynum king too.
As far as who we can trade for...I thought message boards were to discuss our team. Maybe I only have half of trade here but isn't that the way it works? You kind of figure out who the team can even trade without going into the dumper? We can trade Stuckey without going into the dumper imo. Thats all I can discuss right now. I'll get back to you in the offseason with some names once the GMs start floating who is available.
Has Stuckey done all that shit you are saying Bynum hasn't done and come through with flying colors in those situations?Quote:
