Sniper, I agree with you 100% here. I would have taken guys like Curry and Lawson much higher than they went. There's no way in hell I would have taken Rubio higher than either one of them.

Anyway, at least for one night, the Mavs made me look like a genius. They beat the crap out of the Lakers in LA.

You'd trade for Zach Randolph too

56% shooting, 22.0 pts, 8.0 reb per game. In the win over Detroit, 13-21 for 30 points and seven boards. I'll take that kinda production anyday.

yeah, i guess we will just have to wait until Zbo pees on the scorers table.

The first week of the season is always a great time to be making declarations of success or failure.

Yeah, he might not keep this up. He's only done it for several years in the league. No reason to believe he can keep up this pace. Be realistic. Think whatever you want about him but one thing that nobody can deny is that the guy gives you points and rebounds at a rate that less than five men in the world can equal. It's not like I'm predicting that Brandon Jennings will average nine boards and assists a night for the season because of one game. I'm talking about a guy that's got a proven track record for several seasons with different teams playing under different systems.

I am not disagreeing. I think the guy is immensely talented. But...there is a huge price you pay when he is on your team. He kills chemistry if not in the locker room then certainly on the floor. But this has already been discussed ad naseum.

I have never been in an NBA locker room so i dont really pay too much attention to the off the court stuff because i really dont understand it. To me, its what you do on the court that counts. Thats why I would take a guy like Ron Artest any day of the week. Or Stephen Jackson. Zbo gets points and boards but invariably he will lose you games by doing something stupid or kill the clock and any type of ball movement by holding it too long in the post. Yeah, he will get you stats but your team will still lose. That track record is proven as well isnt it?

I'll never argue on his behalf as one of the smartest guys or best teammates. I also will never hold his team's records against him. He's played for some pretty horrible teams and I don't think anyone could have won with them. The Knicks, Clippers, and now Memphis? Jordan couldn't win with those teams.
