Premium Member mrhonline Posted July 22, 2008 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Ask Hornets' and Nuggets' fans about the guy. He's as talented as they come, but by all accounts, a head case. Sasha Vujacic is a much better option for this team, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith's agent because he is better than Childress and would actually give us a good bench with shooters. He is a little crazy but having Carmelo and AI as team leaders sure doesn't help keep you in check like Woody, Joe and Al would here. The only way I would go after The Machine is if we couldn't sign J.R. or another better free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member mrhonline Posted July 22, 2008 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 TS% - J.R. Smith = 60.3 Vujacic = 60.5 eFG% - Smith - 57.8 Vujacic - 57.7 The gap isn't big enough to justify Smith's idiocy, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I also prefer that Vujacic actually plays defense and takes pride in it. Is he a RFA or a UFA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Sasha and J.R. are RFAs, but their teams are in the luxury tax. I think a 4-yr, $15M deal (similar to Turiaf and Zaza) would get it done.

Admin Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 That would definitely be a deal that I would consider. He knows how to play physical defense, he's young, can shoot, has a mean streak, and knows how to move without the ball. I like JR Smith too, but there's a reason he has bounced around the league a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member mrhonline Posted July 22, 2008 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Basically, he plays zero defense (and doesn't care to), gets lost constantly on the court, isn't a smart player, jacks up poor shots, has a poor work ethic, and doesn't take the game seriously. But, the guy can shoot when hot. (Of course, so can Vujacic, without all the other crap). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think that we have enough level headed guys to put him in place and make him bust his ass to get on the court. Even Woody wouldn't put up with that crap and it would help J.R. become a better player and us a better team. If we can't sign J.R. we do need to look at Sasha becasue he is a decent player who can help offset the loss of Childress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Iverson, but Carmelo reportedly has one of the worst attitudes in the game. So, no, I don't think his time in Denver has helped. He's apparently annoyed Karl as much as he did Scott.

Byron Scott seems to be a huge d*ck based on his comments to Jerry Stackhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member mrhonline Posted July 22, 2008 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Perhaps, but he's a top-level NBA coach. If between he and George Karl, a player can't find a niche... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimedog Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'd prefer Sasha as well and Lakers can afford to let him go. One problem we have seen here, and elsewhere, is that when you start to mess around with player's minutes they won't get comfortable. If we throw the MLE at Sasha, the Lakers very well might let him walk b/c they still have quite a few young players on the wing. You can tell Vujacic that he is guaranteed to have a big role on the team as the designated defender/shooter off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
