Ayyyy. Nepotism hard at work. Love to see it.

If Jamal Crawford was good enough to play in the NBA... He'd be playing in the NBA. There isn't some massive conspiracy.

Right. He’s also known to be one of the nicest dudes on the league and great locker room guy too. Doesn’t seem like there would be a conspiracy against that

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Because the inefficiency is tied into the "numbers if he is given a semi-high volume of shots (Per role)".

Meaning that if given the opportunity, he can still be productive in the exact same role he's had for years: volume scorer.

If he's not allowed to play to his strengths (the same exact strengths he's had over the years), then yeah, he's going to be "inefficient".

Was this same inefficiency factored in when he was busting his gun to the tune of 17 ppg?

Mans career fg% is 41%.

His last 4 full seasons in the League, he shot .397 (basically 40%), 41%, 41%, and 40%.

Yet, you guys are saying he can't play anymore.

Ok

Yea I can't tell if you are being serious right now.

Did you read what you just typed?

 

[shuges]

Are you championing shooting ~40% from the field and playing no defense?

Bro, that's my point.

When has JC ever been an elite shooter or a stalwart on defense?

The same way they found a way to give him minutes and allow him to shoot back then they can do now. (see Lemon Pepper Lou)

I can rock with the reason that was given about wanting to let a younger guy develop over giving JC minutes. (Though I can argue there's something to be said for experience and veteran leadership).

But this narrative about being inefficient and a defensive liability, I'm not buying what y'all trying to sell me.

Put some respect on that man's name.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

So he's going to miss 60% of his shots while also not defending or making plays for others?

@ Miss 60% of his shots
We should start speaking of "Miss %" when analyzing about players.

I just hope that's the last time anyone ever posts Steph's nipples on this app

My apologies if I'm not coming off coherent. But I assure you that I'm dead serious with my pov.

SGA so tough man, love his game. Hope he lands with a better team

Yo, y'all really dislike Jamal like that??



Again, when has he NOT shot poorly or play ole defense?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Get on it Cuban

 

[NickFolarin]

We don’t dislike Jamal Crawford

We’re just thinking with logic

 

[8pm at msg]

It's a lot easier to tolerate bad shooting and poor defense at 20 then 40

Denver or Miami would compliment his game, maybe others as well.

"You miss 0% of the shots you don't not take."

Why must this be the reason we are speaking against your claim?

 

[shuges]

damn shuges you aint been around in a minute. you just get done doing a bid?

jamal crawford washed bruh. he still can shoot but teams need a man to stay in front of their man. jamal 40 years old

Hello to you too Noble Nasty.

 

[pmatic]

Ben Simmons and picks for SGA and Kemba.

Simmons can be the PG, OKC can stack losses and Philly gets their perimeter stars.

 

[nick.]

So are Presti & the Thunder just not going to try to win?

 

[af1 1982]

I just need Morey to get a legit PG to pair with Embiid. I watched Trae torch us with PnR with Capella and Collins for 7 straight games. I would fully welcome a guy like Fox if that’s the best deal we can get. Dude really elevated his game last year by improving his shooting.

I brought this up and I was called a fool lol

OKC can let -name redacted- rehabilitate his value being the only option and flip him for more picks.

SGA is good enough to help Jo now and still be apart of the future core with Maxey and BBall Paul

 

[Based Jesus]

Jamal Crawford always being an inefficient chucker isn't a good argument for signing him at 40 years old

 

[darthska]

shuges Vs. noblekane part 74?!
