The personal criticisms are a little ridiculous. The guy likes to buy clothes. So what? I waste money on watches. Lots of guys on here waste money and time on video games. We all waste time on RR. We all could be doing something better and more meaningful than watching men in pajamas play with a ball and commenting on it amongst ourselves. Are we really holding everyone to that standard now? There are plenty of reasons to want Carroll gone without turning into goddamn Puritans....

I totally agree with you we are on a fan forum and when the team there are some people on here that not only attack the players performance(despite not really understanding that he may have playing injured but then critise his personal life or spending habits. So the guy likes his clothes if that is his only vice leave the person alone I am sure if your life was under a microscope everyone could find flaws.slaw wrote: View PostComment

The consensus seems to be that Demarre is a sunk cost. I think there are two ways to look at this situation.
1) His body is broken, his career as a useful nba player is over. Try to get rid of him and failing that stretch the contract. Plenty of players fizzle out of the league as they enter their 30's.
2) His body can be salvaged with an off-season of rest and focused work with the best medical professionals/specialists. There are examples of older players who looked like they were done and made dietary and lifestyle choices that rejuvenated their bodies (Richard Jefferson is a good one). You get the feeling he's a 'work hard' not 'work smart' kind of guy. Alex McKechnie this is your greatest challenge yet - next season his bounce returns and he's back to being the 3 and D player he was in Atlanta.Comment

I think he focused on rest and getting healthy last off season as well, but seemed to come back the same.
If they don't move him then the hope is that the new ball movement system MU has spoken about implementing for next season can at the least salvage his offensive game. Not sure if he'll ever be healthy enough to play the type of defence he did in Atlanta.Comment

I think the issue may be less his body and more him just not being that good and never was. His defence was ok at times and was able to 3s andhedidnt do a lot more than that in Atl.
Still, I'm optimistic he can be serviceable, if not deserving of starting.Comment

Once you get injured in the way he did .... realistically it could take at least a full YEAR to come back to 80-90 % ... look at Danny Granger. Like it takes time. Years in fact. Like they would of had to have him just sitting in the weight room just chilling for this whole past year. I think he comes back better next year but he was still recovering. Even him coming back last year he kind of rushed coming back and had ice bags over his knees every time he went out.LJ2 wrote: View PostComment

People missed the point about the shopping. If you read the "shopping article", his teammate is actually criticizing him for being on his feet for 5-6 hours on a game-day. That is just irresponsible. And it borders on stupid for a guy who supposedly hasn't recovered from assorted leg injuries. TBH, I don't care how much he spends on what or who - that's not my dough.rightsideup wrote: View Post
And if he's physically fine to be spending that much time on his feet, then it's definitely not a good look when he's bricking up open shots in games. The natural criticism is that he should be using at least part of that time in the gym working on his game, getting up some extra shots, dribbling, film work, etc.... Even if he wasn't injured, his game definitely could use the extra work.Comment

If Hedo (or Bargnani) can be traded, anyone can be traded. Masai will find a sucker soon enough.JamesNaismith wrote: View PostComment
