2015 Offseason Thread
He deserves a place. But he's more of a bench player talent at the moment that happened to play starter's minutes because it's the Knicks. He's just the definition of one dimensional. I don't know his numbers off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure he literally averages like 1 rebound and 1 assist per game and he's just about as bad as it gets in terms of defensive effort.
I like to think at some point he'll start to care about more than just shooting because you could tell at Michigan that he has talent, but it hasn't happened for him yet.

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread
Yea basically every aspect of Hardaway's game besides scoring is about as bad as it can be. And his scoring regressed in year 2.
Maybe being in a better situation will help his development, he's still got time. I hope it does, he seems like a good guy, and he plays with a lot of passion and excitement for the game. But to be able to get a first rounder for him at this point is still crazy to me, have to jump on that.Originally posted by Jay BilasComment

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread
Was his defensive potential not one thing everyone mentioned in scouting reports before he was drafted? My first thought was that the Knicks sold him low, but the internets reaction told me otherwise. But I didn't watch to many Knicks games of course.Comment

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread
He has the potential to be a turnstile on defense. Maybe he'll reach that potential in Atlanta.[NYK|DAL|VT]

They sold low in the sense that his stock SHOULD be really down now, but for some reason the Hawks valued him more than anyone could expect.
I mean, strictly value wise, he was the 24th pick in what was considered a weak draft, and after 2 seasons in which if anything he's regressed, they turned him into the 19th pick in a stronger draft.Originally posted by Jay BilasComment

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread
West would be great in the "triangle".. Hopefully they can sign a decent shooting guard.

I'll take West if he doesn't go crazy and expects big money or years."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: 2015 Offseason Thread
Sacramento News:
Kings decision-maker Vlade Divac won’t be bullied into trading away DeMarcus Cousins, but if ownership would get out of the way, his job would be a whole lot easier.
As news of the Lakers working on a deal with Sacramento became reported, with Kings head coach George Karl appearing to be pushing for a trade behind the scenes, it seemed as though pressure was being applied to Divac to make something happen.
But as it turned out, the agent for Cousins was the one behind it all — at ownership’s behest.
Sam Amick of USA Today:
So when [agent for DeMarcus Cousins Dan Fegan] tried to orchestrate a trade that would send Cousins to the Los Angeles Lakers in the days leading up to the draft – one that Kings owner Vivek Ranadive gave him permission to pursue when he made it clear that Cousins wanted out – it wouldn’t have shocked anyone if Divac decided to do the deal just to quiet this storm. Instead, he’s trying to fix a fractured situation on his terms.
When asked about the unhealthy dynamic between Karl and Cousins and the idea that they may be able to work it out, Divac pulled no punches and left all options open in terms of what happens next.
“I’ll be honest with you, how I think right now, I think they got the message yesterday,” he said. “So here I am, and if you’re on board, (you’re) more than welcome. If you’re not, I’ve got to go. I can’t wait. We do have everything except time. We have to go forward and try to make it a healthy environment and try to have a good team for next year.
This is where I remind you that the Kings paid three different head coaches last season, all because ownership simply couldn’t make up its mind.
The indecision in Sacramento is troubling, to say the least. The public stance was that they wouldn’t entertain offers for Cousins, when privately, ownership authorized his agent to shop around.
Divac might be capable of making solid decisions that could raise the franchise out of the muck its been mired in for the past nine seasons. But that’s only if he’s allowed to do his job, and ownership in Sacramento has yet to give us any faith at all that they’ll let that be the case.#RespectTheCultureComment
