Ok BHZ, go get Mo. You'll regret it big time.

And why do I need my backup PG to shoot to run the team? Rondo can't shoot and does fine.

Yes, knock down open looks when needed, but I rather they distribute or be a huge pain defensively or penetrate. I'll take someone that can do any of those over Mo's "shooting".

Rondo isn't a backup.  But I bet Jordan Crawford is going to shoot for the Celtics when he "runs" the point
 
Thank you for telling me Rondo isn't a backup.......

I think he is a point guard tho, or do only backup point guards need to shoot?

Pretty sure my point was there are PG's that can't shoot yet are still quite effective. Sorry for mentioning a starter and confusing you.
 
At the end of the day, there are no superstars in Memphis. The best thing the Grizz have are two forces on the inside and Conley when it comes to offense. The team needs plenty of shooters on the perimeter and reliable backups for their two best players (Conley,Gasol). With the team committed to Tony Allen being a starter and Prince (a guy who only attempts 1.1 3's a game) in the rotation, everyone else on the perimeter should not be liabilities from outside.

I'm completely against bringing in another player who cannot shoot the ball. Period. At the end of the day, who will the defense respect more from outside when Zach and Gasol are in the game? That's how I'm looking at it. Whether Mo makes the shot or not, teams will respect the fact that he's a 39% 3 point shooter. That opens up the middle. They will respect Mike Miller. They will respect Pondexter, Conley, Bayless. We saw how much respect they gave Prince and Allen. Adding Wroten, Marshall, Basic Game to the mix will not do the big men any favors.

Mo is not going to be our 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, probably not even 7th best player.

well if you've ever watched basketball, you know the difference between a starting lineup and backups

Often second string lineups are devoid of scoring, so you have to get it where you can....hence why Nick van Exel, Jarrett Jack, Jamal Crawford, JR Smith, Jason Terry, ect are always coveted

As opposed to a starting lineup which is often filled with the more talented players who can score more effectively than their second string counterparts.

which is why you may need a backup PG to score for you
 
Yeah the 360 collection is nastty, I feel the 360 against the Mavs was slightly better

The 360 against the mavs was one of the most disgusting dunks I ever seen in game

My mans started with 2 hands, styled with his off hand than brought it back to finish with 2...NO DRIBBLE :wow: :x :smh:

Dudes using the word suck loosely and then say delonte is better lmao

Delonte West is a better basketball player than Mo Williams.

whens the last time you saw him play basketball to know that?
I saw Mo Williams suck just a few months ago.
ok, thats one side of the coin, now whens the last time you saw Delonte have a good game?

Mo Williams is still only 2 seasons removed from averaging 15 and 6, so I know you're just arguing just for the sake of argument.
