If you seriously think John Wall and Kyrie are comparable players then there's no point in arguing with you. Kyrie is a joy to watch and I'm sure he's even more fun to play with. Wall plays glorified pickup basketball. I don't care what his stats are compared to anybody. His style of play will never field a contender. No I do not care that he played good and the Wizards won a bunch of meaningless regular season games at the end of the year.

So locks to make the playoffs in the east are the heat, pacers, Knicks, nets and bulls.

Man if the cavs still don't make it with that roster, uncle drew better have a good excuse.

lol..stopped reading right there..

john wall is VERY comparable to kyrie..so i dont get where your making it out to be kyrie is a leaps nd bounds better than dude..

kyrie deserves to be compared to wall,lilliard, not cp3,dwill, rondo...
 
^here's to hoping the raps can make the 8th seed.. Always liked Valanciunas' game. Also hoping that Ross breaks out
 
So the Nets are paying over $180 million for their team this season? goodness gracious

Literally the definition of title or bust.

Are y'all seriously doubting Wall's pg skills after watching him the end of last season? He was displaying great vision, decision making in the half court and he improved his mid range J. Factor in that Wall is one of the best athletes at the pg along with Westbrook and Rose. I love Kyrie but Wall has as much potential as any pg in the league as well and y'all stay ignoring how terrible Kyrie is on defense. Wall is already a better defender and will continue to improve.

At this point Wall and Kyrie are at the same place in their careers...both playing on losing teams, putting up numbers and highlights, and missing games due to injury...only difference is the media hypes Kyrie and the Fans love him cuz of crossovers and commercials and ****...both players should step up to another level this year (and their teams too), we'll see this season what happens with the both of em....
 
Here are some #'s from the final 41 meaningless games.

Over the final 41 games of 2012-13, John Wall was 10th in the NBA in WARP (5.6). He's 22. So I've no issue with maxing him out.

team prok :lol: :pimp:

great games by kyrie & anthony davis last night... that davis intercepted alley oop & coast to coast throw down was nasty :x

barnes' dunk on & anderson & wall's putback were filthy too.
 
Lol at kyrie running an offense better than wall. Kyrie has tunnel vision out the p&r. Wall sets guys up and actually makes his teammates around him better. Just look at how well brad beal played once wall was inserted into the lineup. Those guys are at the exact same point in their careers. Its really a matter of preference IMO.

:lol: yea.

They'd be in the luxury tax/capped out for the next several years without the KG/Pierce trade, so Prok was like **** it, lets improve our chances.

But that bill is still eye-opening

Edit: Yall gotta stop fronting on Wall :lol: . The man was elite after he got back in game shape following his injury. 23/7/5 with 8 FTAs a night. He'll be an all star next year barring injury.

The team as of right now is a 10-12 seed in the West in my eyes. :lol:

They're younger and more athletic than the previous couple of seasons, but the defense is a wreck.

yea that defense is gonna be hard to watch this season. thats where its gonna show the worst in losing dwert
 
:x :x :x Indeed.

The Nets better make a deep playoff run this season. At least the ECFs.

Prok is loaded but he ain't gonna be paying this type of money for a 1st round exit.

dude gonna have kg and pierce tied up in a trunk with cement shoes on if they get knocked out in the first round
