Premium Member mrhonline Posted February 18, 2010 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Traded to Chicago with Flip for Tyrus Thomas. (Per Adreian Woj's twitter). LOL. The Bobcats could simultaneously be the best defensive team and worst offensive team in the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member NineOhTheRino Posted February 18, 2010 Premium Member Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) totally unfair how the NBA is doing this guy. Dude was one of the best collegiate players I've ever seen so I find it extremely hard to believe that he's really this bad. NBA GM's and coaches should get their heads out their backsides and recognize that Acie is a bomb ready to explode.

Premium Member mrhonline Posted February 18, 2010 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 On another note, I was the first to post the Martin to Houston deal on the Kings' RealGM board...and now they've pinned that topic at the top of their board.

College does not always translate to the NBA. He has to prove himself and he has not done that yet. That is the reason he is bouncing around.

spotatl Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Acie has played for 2 hall of fame coaches. He has played for 10% of the league's teams. At some point people have to start just saying he was a bad pick instead of blaming the coaches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Exactly. As big of a Law fan I was, I'm completely over that dude now. All he had to do is simply outplay the backup PG on a team, and he'd be getting minutes somewhere. LOL . . and he's not going to get any PT in Chicago either. He's already proven that he can't jump ahead of Flip in a rotation, so he'll be buried on the bench again . . or inactive altogether. He's making over $26,000 a game to sit the bench. So while he may be upset that he's not playing, that's not a bad way to make a living. He's simply going to have to work his arse off during the summer, and make another roster. If he does that, he has to go in with the mentality that he can take someone's spot. First Woody . . the Nellie . . . now Brown. No way you can blame the coaches now. That's all on Acie.

When you have an expiring contract and you're on a team with two starter quality PGs... and you are the fourth guy, you can expect to be moved.

spotatl Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Acie isn't being given the chance to shine because he is one of the worst PG's in the league. What you call "being given a chance to shine" other people call "wasting minutes on someone who doesn't deserve them" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cwell Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 This is all on Acie, he may have been in unfortunate situations going to PG heavy teams,but those guys that have played in front of him are nothing special. The fact that he couldn't even be activated let alone get any minutes at all says something. He was starting to get minutes in GS before he got traded but since then nothing. The guy has to show SOMETHING to atleast get a look on the floor. He doesn't look close to the player we drafted a couple years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakast Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 i understand Acie being traded but I don't understand why coaches aren't giving Acie an opportunity to shine. How do you know their not giving him an "opportunity to shine"? Maybe dude isn't performing well in practice and hasn't earned the right to get minutes in games.
