when Pierce had 1 all star team mate and a top 12 player , he made sure to use his vet leadership to get wizards into playoffs
Wade got a current top 12 player and all star team mate and can't do the same -

Jrue Holiday is not going to get Anthony Davis money. His max vs AD's max are not the same.
In order to try and retain his services, the pelicans will be the team with the best position to offer him an enticing contract, provided he wants to stay. It will be the most money he can make vs signing with any other team. If he chooses to sign with another team, he will have to do it at a reduced rate. Unless your name LeBron James, dudes aint out here just giving away the most money they can make to go play somewhere else.
I didn't go back and read the thread so I don't know if this was posted butThe Pelicans will need “significant progress” over the final four weeks of the season to save coach Alvin Gentry’s job, according to Sean Deveney of The Sporting News.
The organization is more likely to keep GM Dell Demps, but that isn’t guaranteed, Deveney adds.
it is what it is...i just would like some consistency on the sideline as well as the court
if he is out, then i guess the writing is on the wall. I wished it could've worked, but looks like they need to play more like Memphis to really utilize both AD and Boogie's skillsets vs GS
The ball doesnt move enough to try and copy GS, plus NOLA dont have the shooters. I like that Boogie can hit the three, but when he is attempting at least 5 a game, thats a philosophy issue imo -

Yea they should play more like the grizz.Grind it out halfcourt offense,slower tempo,dominate the paint high low post game with ad and cousins with shooters.I aint buyin cousins I'd flip his overrated ass this summer before he sabotages your franchise.
Gm's be dickriding successful teams by hiring assistants and then realize real quick they don't have the player personnel and look like fools.If klay & curry aint comin with the coach or they don't have the personnel to run the system don't matter what coach is hired.Go peep jim cleamons record after he got the mavs head coaching gig tryin to run the triangle without jordan he flopped and got fired real quick.Certain situations it works out like buldenholzer wit the hawks -

Lol...I remember ? had a poll and all lol...a lot of you dumb ? voted that he was. I told ? he works in that system because of all the talent around him, and the ? was so sensitive that if you take one piece out, he ain't gonna be the same....well lol
Considering the shots Steph takes and makes this makes 0 sense at all
Another casual point of view
What you just said makes 0 sense at all.
Gotta agree with Ghost on this one. There's no "system" that would allow Steph to make those shots.
Last year he avg 30pts on 50% from the floor and 45% from 3 while attempting 11 3s a game. There's no system that got him to be that efficient. There's no system that could make anyone that good.
For one, it's never been done before just based on sheer volume.
The rate at which he took 3s off the dribble, which is probably the most inefficient shot you can take, and yet he still shot 45% for a season is crazy. No one has ever shot that well taking those types of shots. It would be damn near impossible to replicate that season again.
What you're doing is taking a small sample size and running with it. This is the first time he's shot the 3 below 42% (39% is still pretty good).
Kerr wasn't always this ? coach so it can't possibly be a "system". The ? is still avg 25 per on 46%. That's a bad season now?
Besides, systems aren't for great players. They're for avg players to thrive. Someone like Roy Hibbert is a system player not Steph, not Kawhi, not Kevin Love or any other player that got thrown in with that dumb ? .
How is there no system that would allow him to make those shots? He plays in that system. You ? are trying to argue a point I wasn't even trying to make. Nobody is arguing that he's not a great three point shooter, and nobody is arguing that hes not capable of making threes at a high rate. Im saying the ease in which he is able to get those threes is because of the system he plays in. In another system, with less talent around him, I guarantee you if he tried to take the same volume of shots he would not shoot that high of a percentage, simply because alot of those open opportunities wouldn't be available to him.
He's in a system that allows him the freedom to jack up threes freely, which for the most part come uncontested. Why? Because he has the second best three point shooter playing with him. He has role players that are/were capable of hitting threes at a high rate, and he doesn't have to be the primary playmaker. That afforded him a lot more freedom than he would playing with lesser talent.
You had cats claiming he was be best player in the league because of those same numbers you talking, and I was saying their inflated because of the amount of opportunities he was able to get open threes, and the volume of possessions they got as a team. They averaged 103 possesions per game last season. It's no surprise that with less talent around him all of sudden his numbers dropped. Its because with less scoring threats on the floor, defenses can load their defenses up on him, and a lot more of his shots are contested.
Last season you had ? in here claiming that on a worse team he would dominate even more, and that was just laughable. All that magic was by being able to shoot the three. Put him on a worse team, hes getting double teamed with out consequence, and his ability to even shoot those threes goes down.
The ? made some crazy ass threes last year, no doubt about it. But let you ? tell it he was knocking down five 35 foot, off the dribble, fadeway, threes per game last year lol.
No I didn't. You just can't separate acknowledging greatness from "? riding" as you would call it. I just call out bs when I see it.
I disagree, Steph IS the system. Steph rarely gets plays called for him. They use a motion offense, read and react. He would take any shot he wanted because he would go and get it. What you're saying you could argue for any great player but it doesn't make sense. Greatness breeds greatness and everyone feeds off each other.
For instance, you could argue LeBron is a "system" player. He plays best as the primary ball handler, surrounded by shooters to create lanes to the rim and open man. LeBron IS that system. They wouldn't thrive without his ability to score, collapse the defense and make plays. The same for Steph. GS is best when Steph is playing at a high level.
It is up to a coach to get the most of his players and their abilities. So yes you're right. Steve Kerr has put Steph in a great position to be successful. If that's a system then so be it. But when you say system you're using it to undermine a players ability. I disagree with that.
Oh and this is what I said regarding the best player.Breezy_Kilroy wrote: »LeBron is the best player still but right now Steph is playing the best basketball. Dude is unguardable.
Nowhere close to being a uninamous mvp, much less the best player in the league like some of you ? was claiming. You might not have been one, but alot of ? in here were.
You were one of them
The hell I was ? , I always had Bron as the best player, but admitted that Steph was having the best season of all players. There's a difference.
Stop lying antwon fisher
There were plenty of impressionable prisoners of the moment clueless fools just like you
Mayne Tommy in the wrong phuckin' field! This ? need to be working as a P.I. or a detective for some unit somewhere.
Airtime I see him call somebody out and they deny ? , it basically goes like......
Tommy- " So you bought the bottle of beer @ 11:15, isn't that right? "
Perp- "Yeah I bought it @ 11:15, I'm pretty sure.....
Tommy- "So what your telling me is you actually bought the beer @ 12:15??"
Perp- *stuttering ensues* "Uh... ummmm.... Yeah, I bought it @ 12:15.... I'm pretty sure.... I think so.... If I'm not mistaken, errr... Yeah.
