You show me one team where 4 players shoot 70 shots a game. Keep looking because it doesnt exist even in a Don Nelson offense.

This is now getting me even Dumber than Delonte West being anything but an average NBA player. Congrats!

Only a moron would take the shooting stats from this year on seperate teams and project the same 4 players to do the same thing on one team. Yeah asking Rose to play with Bosh and Wade would be a major sacrifice. I'm sure Deng would insist on getting his 16 shots a game or he would pout.

How's are those Detroit Pistons doing with those great signings they made last year?

Pardon me while I go watch a game...

Yeah, maybe you should have someone explain it to you...dukes of hazard style. Maybe they can explain to you that there would be chemistry issues putting a team together with no 3 pt shooters and 4 guys in the top 20 in fg attempts. Only a total idiot wouldnt get it even if Red came back from the dead and tried to explain it.

How is Delonte West doing this year anyway? Get a clue and we can continue this pointless discussion.

It is pointless to discuss basketball with you. I mean how can anyone use shots attempted in the context that you are using it in? Shots attempted is a stat that is absolutely tied to the other players on the court and their abilities. This isnt like a baseball team signing 4 1st baseman and trying to make it work. Only an idiot would think that Luol Deng wouldn't be the 4th option on that team, hence his shots attempts would be fewer. Only someone who didn't know much would think that Derrick Rose couldn't mesh with D Wade on the offensive end of the floor and in doing so reduce the number of attempts he would make. Only someone who was clueless wouldn't see that having 2 world class slashers and a good post passer would free up a lot of open looks for the other players. If you really knew the game as well as you thought you did you would have brought up the potential frontcourt defensive issues with that team, especially against the other Eastern Conference contenders.

Delonte West is a key player on the team with the best record in basketball. Yeah he sucks.

LOL. It is pointless to discuss basketball because you don't know what you are talking about. You still don't have a point. Just a bunch jibber jabber...nothing new there.

Your initial contention was that Wade/bosh would end up in chicago. I offered you a wager and you chickened out. Now im an idiot and blah, blah blah.

My contention was that even if your 1-1000 fantasy team were to happen, it would be good but wouldnt win titles because of various chemistry issues and i backed it up with stats showing what the players have actually DONE not what you HOPE they MIGHT do.

But the funniest part? Your brainless assertion that Delonte West is a key to anything. LOL

Oh so now it would be good but wouldn't win championships? I thought it was going to be a disaster? I didn't chicken out of anything, you offered a stupid, pointless bet. Your stats dont back up anything. It is kind of embarrassing for you to try insist that what happens on three separate teams would be valid in this discussion.

You wouldnt understand why West is a key player so i wont press the issue, it just isnt worth my time.

When did i say it was going to be a disaster? If you would actually read a post other than your own, you would see that I said the whole thread that you could put anyone with wade and bosh and the team would be good. They just wouldnt win championships the way you were constructing them.

It isnt worth your time, my time or anyone else's time for you to come up with a bogus argument as to why Delonte West is a key player. Please spare us. Please.

Delonte West 2010 stats:

7.4 per game
3 assists
2 rebounds

All star baby! In 43 minutes against the lakers the other night he had 3 pts.

Where would Cleveland be without him?????

No you said that those are 4 very talented players but you cant put a team like that on the floor. If you want to further discuss West you can do it via pm.
