its no coincidence that teams with good depth win a lot of games


It could easily be argued that trading CP could give us more depth than what we have now with a Package type deal.

it can easily be argued that a trade next year sending PEja or West could also get us more depth or another top flight player

This franchise will enter TWolves-zone if we hang onto CP3 and he opts out, leaving us to dump him for expirings or something in 2013.

I have always advocated trading Paul and West to dump our bad salaries/gain a bankable star and rebuild around said bankable star, Collison, Thornton, Okafor (haha), picks, and smart FA signings. We'd be decent in 1.5 years.

I thought this too but the lists of who will likely be available at next season's trade deadlines have come out and there ain't much there.

He does shoot to many jumpshots for a guy as athletically gifted as he is. I think he needs someone to get in his face and DEMAND him to take the ball more to the goal. He's been avg 20 ppg for the past 3 yrs. IMO with a guy like CP3 as the leader for him. I can easily see him jump up to 25 ppg

just looked it up. He went 19/8 with 1 block. Good game. Not dominating. But to each his own. Tyrus and D. Mitch had fantastic games.

i think he is what he is

he's a lesser vince/tmac once they got a 3 point shot and started settling. he just never had the "drive and destroy" game they did early in their careers

and 2 years ago i thought he could approach melo's scoring, but he hit a level and stayed there

with a guy like cp3 he'd spend even more time 25 feet away from the goal, while cp3 dominates the ball

Only one block ? Him and Hilton dominated us in the paint. Hilton must have had like 6 blocks then. That was a great game

Nah. Fastbreak points and backdoor ally oops would get Rudy 8 per game alone.

You gotta understand how bad Conley is. Conley does not get Mayo or him the ball in good situations to be able to succeed. Conley has zero creativity

i had rudy on my fantasy team for 2 years

he just stands around the 3 point line and sits there pretty much every offensive possession

it's infuriating to watch
