It's fine to disagree, but both Wes and Kaman get doubled in the post. And you have a strange definition of "always" - if you meant "sometimes", then yes, sometimes LMA is doubled in the post.

So you would be fine having Kaman over Aldridge? I mean you hate his perimeter shot, so then the only thing that would be valuable is his inside game. So you want Kaman ovrr Aldridge?

Where did I say that?

Well you said Kaman has a better post up game than Aldridge. Then you said Aldridge is horrible when he shoots the mid range. So if you value Aldridge, then it would have to be his post game. But since Kaman is a better post player, then why even have Aldridge? Kaman is a better defender, rebounder and plays the post better than Aldridge according to you.

Basically, you would rather have Kaman play than Aldridge with everything negative you posted about Aldridge.

Keep spinning that strawman into gold, Rumpelstiltskin!

 

[B-Roy]

When? Oh wait it's Kingspeed, the hyperbole king

He actually has been getting doubled as of late.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

If LMA were white I bet some of you would like him more.

Wait so why would you choose Aldridge over Kaman then? Do I have your takes on Aldridge wrong?

Clearly.
I don't like LMA, but if the choice is LMA or Kaman it's pretty obvious that 101 out of 100 people would choose LMA.
To get back to the root of this conversation, you said Dame and LMA were the only guys who could create their own shot. I said that I disagreed - both Wes and Kaman can create (I think I said "have a better post game") their own shot just fine. Heck, even Blake can create his own shot - though he primarily tries to create for others (same with Nic).

 

[magnifier661]

I disagree - both Wes and Kaman have better post-up games than LMA.

Well this is what you said. So that's why the road turned.

At least you can acknowledge Aldridge is a better player than Aldridge. Do you feel the same about Wes vs Aldridge too?

Just want to see where you see Aldridge. For a minute there, it sure looked like you said those two were better players

I think Aldridge is better than Aldridge but LaMarcus is worse than LaMarcus.

The complaints last season have been more warranted, but this season is drifting towards him posting more efficient shots

 

[riverman]

I think this is the game that gets Dame the nod for team USA for the rest of his career if he wants it

Rolo and Freeland make a huge difference in LA's game at the rim and his rebounding numbers from what I recall. Kaman's game misses those guys too. Will be good to get them back soon.
