Like Masai said "Win"

That's all you got to do.

[The Great One]

Over/under DD shoots 46% FG in game 1.

Under

[distorsun]

Masai never said DD's game didn't affect winning.

He said that because...''DD's game DOESN'T AFFECT WINNING.
The team is a net negative with DD on the floor.
There's a nice article about Russell Westbrook on how he affects winning (even as an inefficient scorer.

I think it was Plus/minus stat that says the raps are better with JV on the bench but, that just one stat. Obviously JV is better player than that stat shows. That's why id rather the eye test than stats. You can use any stat to prove any narrative.

Not trying to turn this into JV vs DD. I really want JV to have a good year. With Lou gone. If were good were going to need him to live up to his new contract.

Only reason I want JV or Scola to have a big year is because it means an end to the guard heavy offense.

That's the new NBA. Its a guard's league now.

Found another pretty good article relevant to the thread.

It seems like Tristan Thompson's contract inspired the article but it was pretty much looking at the NBA's most (and least) relatively valuable player. For those who didn't check out the link, Demar (based on his CURRENT contract) was placed in the Group 4 (Not Quite Worth the Price Tag).

As a disclaimer, it was based on Last Year's production and not any future projections.

It's a ball movement-motion league the D'Antoni pick-roll offense was killed by Thibs. Only PnR heavy offense is Clippers I think.

Doesn't matter because Casey invented a guard offense that had no screens or movement. The Rockets offense without Harden

How many times did I have to hear in DD year 4 that he isn't on his extension yet?

Well turns out in JVs 4th year he ain't on that contract yet either!

Ok sorry. Will give JV a pass this year.

Still doesn't change this team needs JV to play at a higher level to be successful.

Tell that to Lebron, KD, and Anthony Davis.

Not to mention the Finals MVP was a SF.

JV needs to do more positive things without the ball. Rebound, protect the rim, screen etc. He'll always be one of the slowest guys on the floor and get burned by it but he needs to be a net positive.
