For his sake I hope Rose comes back and balls out because if he doesnt, Skip Bayless will turn dude into public enemy number one and I dont think his psyche can handle it.

skip dont want no static with chicago ...he will continue to slurp & bash bron with mr sources

Thats the thing, I think his LeBron trolling is just about finished. Theres nothign more he can say about the guy he has to move on from that now, and now D-Rose is the number one choice. What with all the hype around him coming back to take down Miami, and its just too hard to slander Kevin Durant so hes not even an option.
 
it shows how lousy of an entertainer you are when you need to bash someone to maintain relevancy in your act. idk how y'all watch ESPN.
 
Nash and Dirk's situations early in their career have nothing to do with Dwight.
so two players who were meh to ok for about 8-9 years in their careers and then revamped their games and dramatically improved....how is it not the same? Better yet how is Jason Kidd, being a horrid 3 point shooter...went out and sought help a decade and some change later, and doubled his % percentage, and went on to be 3rd all time.

So how is it any different...I mean there situations are different, that's just a blanket incoherent statement... Dirk had no midrange game, 8 years later he worked on it and now its one of it not his best attribute. Nash was regarded as frantic, and reckless, and a streaky shooter, many years later, really in his return to phx, he game evolved, and now seen as one of the best pgs of the last decade, and as far as shooting, he went what....about 5/6 years shooting 90/50/40...

Another example tony parker....dude was a horrible mid range shooter, until recent, now he is a respectable midrange shooter. Whats next rondo isn't going to improve? Westbrook has reached his ceiling? Far too many times players have evolved and improved their games later on in the careers. And im not even going to mention Micheal Jordan...who for the first 6 or so years, the opposition prayed he would shoot a midrange shot.

I dont know what some of you dudes are seeing but i think Dwight is what hes going to be already

i dont see him turning into this dominant post up player ever and honestly the Rockets better hope he bounces back from the back injury before they worry about him getting better they need him back to where he was first
 
some guys never develop. not everyone has the will and patience to work on their game. if they did, the darius miles's of the world would never exist.
 
Who has the most pressure to win next year?
Dwight, Melo, Lebron, CP3, Durant, or Rose

I still feel like its Lebron he has the most to gain, winning the title next year would complete a three peat and add a big notch to his legacy

From the media it should be CP3, but it will be Dwight.

Should be Rose too but I feel like he gets a pass if the bulls lose based on their perceived talent. Melo beyond pressure, guys will make more excuses after the next first/second round exit adds to the worst playoff record ever.

CP3 is the new Melo.

Can't win **** in the playoffs but no one on here will ever say a word.
 
i thought marshall would be a real solid pro like a basic game/mike conley mix. idk why.

i just love how people talk about guys they watch 3 times a year like they've seen them in action every night for the past 10 years.

I'd say Durant because hes prolly got the best shot to win outside of Bron

Rose needs help

Melo plays for the knicks and is Melo so nobody should be expecting a chip

CP3 could be in the mix for a chip I'd put him right behind Durant

I dont think the Rockets are ready yet and Dwights not dominant enough to power them out the west i think they're one guy away

I think Bron gets ring number 3 tho

If he just adds one or two moves he'll be fine for the next few years, the biggest thing for him is the free throws if he can get anywhere close to 65-70% he could easily average 20-24 pg, you throw in his rebounding and rim protection that's a top 5 player in this league
 
since my Dwight to the rockets movement was so successful last season...I'm going to start a Lebron to Houston 2014 movement now.

sounds like a lot has to happen

he hasnt been able to develop any moves or bring that FT% up in what 10 yrs in the league?

I just dont see him doing it all of a sudden

what I find ironic in yall statement is the fact that he is on a team, and getting training by akeem...a player who wasn't very offensively savvy early on in his career.... Yall act like akeem was dream shaking dudes right out the gate... Dude was basically a towering defensive power house easily first 6/7 years or so if his career.

Then there is ewing... Dude was basically mutombo all of the 80's and really didn't develop the step back jumper...and most of his post moves until early/mid 90's, Shaq didn't really improve dramtically until the early 2000's with the lakers...

Good wasn't social media back then....dudes woulda been saying the dream, ewing, and shaq would remain who they are never to improve and just be dominant just because of their size.

So 3 of the top centers in the league, who were basically like D12, the first half of their respective careers did it....yet it is basically out of the realm of possibility, for Dwight. Not to mention neither of them had the luxury of getting trained/working with a all-time great center all did it.
 
I'm not really understanding you D.Rose doubters/non-believers. So since he's never gotten past Lebron/Miami he's nothing special? I guess Paul George, Melo and Durant ain't nothing special either huh. get the hell outta here man.

The kid is still only 24, missed the last 2 playoffs and has STILL been farther than CP3 has ever been. fall back haters

Whoever has the best record at the end of the season. I think it'll be Lebron.

lol did you just make all this up?

all three of those guys pretty much dominated right out the gate

and Dwights 10yrs in his career is more than half over

since Ewing was "basically mutombo in the 80s" show me when mutombo avgd 20 points ever

you sir just made a damn fool of yourself

I doubt the Bulls as whole more than I doubt Rose, as constructed right now they are just like prime Iverson's Sixers

Rose and Iverson actually have very similar numbers and play style but Rose is a much better teammate
