TeagueForMVP Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 What risk is there?? Wilkins is a better offensive player and a defensive player maybe not by alot but marvin is doing absolutely nothing out there. Anybody agree? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that some people get pretty upset when you speak against Marvin on this board. Not sure what he's done to garner such loyalty but that's just the way it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTruth Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 The incumbent starter must be pretty bad when you have to consider starting Damien Wilkins in his place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So being summer league MVP makes you worthy of praise and places you above criticism? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Walter Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 I've noticed that some people get pretty upset when you speak against Marvin on this board. Not sure what he's done to garner such loyalty but that's just the way it is. Some posters, generally a portion of the more seasoned ones, hitched their wagon to the MW bandwagon at the time of the draft (which was the franchise's biggest draft in at least the last 30 years, remember Wilkins was a 3rd overall pick). They said the mild-mannered 6th man at UNC was a future 10x all-star, etc. and worth not choosing a franchise Pg (My preference was Deron. I was pretty harsh against Paul but still wanted him over MW.). The arguments were pretty contentious, with those taking sides often digging in their heels. IMO, ANY defense of MW at this point has more to do with an attempt to preserve one's personal "investment" in MW than anything he's ever done on the court. Even I (and that's saying alot) became invested in MW enough after watching him (and hoping despite the evidence) that I didn't hate the resigning. I felt he couldn't get worse (I was wrong) and might accidentally, somehow get better. Truth is, once we drafted MW, we should've traded him before his first contract ended and the people that still defend him for personal reasons should at least be able to acknowledge this.

Not sure what he's done to garner such loyalty but that's just the way it is. I notice alot of the NC guys are absolutely enamored with him for no other reason except him playing at UNC. Just about every rumored deal offered for the no. 2 pick would have been a win-win right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankthetank966 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) What risk is there?? Wilkins is a better offensive player and a defensive player maybe not by alot but marvin is doing absolutely nothing out there. Anybody agree? I agree. I honestly thought he was going to be starting by now. Marvin is such a bust. Seriously, look up the definition of bust in websters it says -- Atlanta Hawks 3rd pick Marvin Williams.

Wurider05 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 The thing about this team is there are problems bigger than Marvin Williams. Don't pretend if Marvin goes the bench JJ is show up every night, Jamal Crawford will produce. Josh will hit the boards and play like a post player, and that LD will learn how to coach. Marvin starting or coming off the bench I don't care either way but you guys are stupid if you think that Marvin Williams is the biggest and only problem that this team has. Hell MArvin Williams might not be in the top 5 of problems on this team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I don't care if Damien starts, at this point something has to change. We can't expect different results with the same crap everynight. Like ilive2ball said I don't see it as a huge risk. While we are at it, we might as well start Teague because unless he is on the floor with good players he is really bad.

TeagueForMVP Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 I think Marvin would be better suited for a bench position anyways. He would still get his minutes and maybe just maybe he might get the urge to start producing solid numbers off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjGrizz Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Neither Damien nor Marvin is the answer. I imagine that this swap would show minimal improvement to our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
