We need bench scoring.... badly.

[3RA1N1AC]

I really like Rodney Stuckey. I think he would be awesome off our bench. He's a free agent after this season, so I doubt Detroit will want to pay to keep him. It's a question of how much it would cost.

It's a question of whether we're willing to send out young guys to bring back talent that could help us win now. Guys like Jordan Crawford and Rodney Stuckey would be great scorers off the bench for us.

As teams look to solidly their tank, a lot of guys like stucky and or solid vets might be available or even waived

A little early for that right now, but I can see us grabbing a few buyout guys at least

Stuckey would be awesome off our bench. He's still pretty young, only 27 years old, and he's putting up good numbers for the Pistons off the bench.

15 points, 2 assists, 2 boards, 18 PER in 27 minutes per game.

problem is Detroit is now 10-10 in the very weak East and playing much better of late. I think they have no interest in tanking and are looking at the playoffs

I keep hearing in the media that Evan Turner is available, will be dumped etc...the way he is playing they should be building around him

In any event, yes please somehow

is there enough minutes for him? and he will want to get paid big time next year. Very good slasher (we could use that) but lousy 3 pt shooter.

Should have paid more attention to Fantasy Basketball. I'd know more about these players. Too bad FIFA 13 get's in the way.

Pay his ass then, dudes a stud

It's possible. I also like adding someone like Jordan Crawford. Boston is definitely tanking... or trying to tank.

this is an interesting thought, he is 6'7" and we could use another big guard/wing. How is his D? I know his 3 pt shot is not good but his FG% is solid and he a very good slasher. We have enough shooters so I would not be worried about that, but he will want a big payday next year - so the key is would we want to sign him for large bucks next yr?

Who said we're a championship contender?

I guess you don't read the whole board, just my posts?

If you're talking about Kingspeed or Mags, then that's pretty laughable.

I know!!! Almost as laughable for yelling about firing a coach that's 17-4 during a game thread. Or when we lose one game by two points and someone demands we need a new bench.

Yay! Gross generalizations! Who said we needed a new bench? We need more scoring on our bench.

Hey, but keep bringing up something that was said ONE TIME during a game thread while we were losing our second big lead. Good on ya.

I figured if a mod can outwardly call people out, all rules are tossed out the window. Your welcome

Interesting but it seems to me like Stotts likes a shorter rotation.

Are you ashamed of being called a homer now? I thought you wore that badge proudly.

Why would I be ashamed? I'm saying you've been calling me out on a bunch of stuff. The responded post is saying my opinion is laughable. Problem is you probably said my opinion at the start was laughable too. Who's laughing now?

So I just thought it would be fair to call you out for your impulsive "sky is falling" banter.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

Nate are you trying to drive everyone off the site for some reason? Is s2 going public and we get a share per post??!!

Please, explain how it's "sky is falling?"

You throw that around a lot, but I fail to see how my thread is saying the sky is falling.

This thread title after a 2 point loss. Lol yes we need to gut this shit now because our 17-4 record is a mirage man! We lost to a playoff team by two points.

All this when players like wright, t. Rob and even Leonard have upside. CJ hasn't even played one fucking game. During game threads, you can't stop talking shit about Williams, saying basically he's trash.

So it's cool for you talk tons of shit about Meyers Leonard, our third string center, and freak out any time he plays badly, but if I state the obvious about Mo, the sky is falling and I'm being unfair?

The thread title says that we need bench scoring. Our bench scored 15 points last night. That's flat out horrible. The first line of the post is about needing CJ to come back. You think that any thread that can be perceived as negative is bashing someone or is hating or is panicking.

It could be worse. Look at the Oregonlive Blazers forum as the prime example. LOL!

Why yes because at least Mo is earning his minutes. I've always said I hope Leonard makes me eat crow. You haven't. In fact you blow up for every turn over and don't say shit when mo does well. And, when nookob said us fans should simmer down, I did. Have you?

Dude, you haven't simmered down.

When have I ever said anything even remotely like this?

our 17-4 record is a mirage man!

When have I ever said anything like this either?

You just make shit up when you disagree with someone. You throw out hyperbolic statements that nobody even said, and then attribute them to me. I said that our bench needs consistent scoring. Mo is not consistent. Could CJ be that guy? Absolutely, but we have no idea when he'll be back. It could be another month, or more. Did I say we should blow up the bench? No.

What ever you say bro. Of course the great "Nate" would never fly off the handle. He's so awesome, he knows how to build apple computer ready computers from rubber bands and paper clips. We should all learn from him on how to be a great forum addition and the hell with the homers and their laughable predictions.

Remember if you jinx the team, he will ban you.

I'm just hyperbolic man! It's just too hard to debate you because you are soooo awesome. Do you teach classes or anything? I mean I would love to know how to fly off the handle and argue I'm not. It's pretty cool brother.

I think I'm pretty composed right now, actually. Just sitting here, watching football, doing some math, and watching you freak out.
