I told ****** at the beginning of the season Bynum wouldn't play a minute for Philly. Dude doesn't like basketball, this is a guy who told Kareem that he had nothing more to learn from him

Actually, a lot of scouts projected Langdon as the best shooter in the '99 draft. I blame John Lucas though..

i never saw the hype even at dukeGot crucified for calling Austin Rivers EXTREMELY overrated before he was drafted. I knew his game was too immature for the NBA.
He made a career off of 1 buzzer beater.
Guess what player I compared him to before he got drafted..

That doesn't go against my statement though. Best shooter in the draft cool. But he wasn't expected to be a GOOD pro.

Vasquez did not fit Hollins' concept of a PG. He wants his PG to be able to defend and run an offense the right way. Vasquez did too many things he wanted and did not follow what Lionel wanted out of him. Not to mention, he was a complete negative on the defensive end, so Hollins did not care for him much on both ends of the floor. I know I would not want to see Vasquez against the likes of Eric Bledsoe and Chris Paul in the playoffs.
Pondexter fits our system. He's also shot 56.5% TS this year which was the highest of his career by almost a full 5 percent. Last year, he only shot 36.5% from the corner, this season its jumped to 45.5% which is well above league average.
Also, it shows you how much a difference it makes for this team to have a player like Bayless who is capable of handling the ball and play off the ball. OJ struggled so much last season against the pressure of the Clippers guards that he damn near embarrassed himself. Bayless is probably the first combo guard to have success under Lionel Hollins and that's saying something. As far as a Grizz-Heat finals, I think the Heat would win in 7. It would be extremely hard for them to win though.
I hope to see a Grizz-Spurs WCF, because I feel like both teams are very evenly matched. But, let us please win Friday first

Good input.
But don't you think the Grizz undervalued Vasquez as a trade asset though? The way this dude exploded this season you could have gotten some one even better than quincy.
And what happened to Selby, did he get cut or something? last thing I heard he was torching the summer league or d league one of those leagues.

Really Knicks? Lets see what smith has to say if Knicks lose this game since he swore they only lost last game due to his absence.
Since Knicks are letting the celtics hang around, now I want the celtics to make a come back n win.

Selby was in the trade to Cleveland I think, but got waived. Believe he's in the DLeague.

^^^Can you really say Vasquez is that much better than Pondexter. You certainly couldn't at the time the trade was made and even now I think it's still debatable. Did Vasquez really blow up or did he just put up inflated numbers on a bad team? I'm not sold on him being a starting PG on a playoff team. Meanwhile, Pondexter is very solid utility player for a good team. The Grizz did fine in that trade:

He turned the ball over 17 times in three games against the Clippers this season. It was harassment.
The only thing slower than Greivis Vasquez on defense is Greivis Vasquez on offense. Dude is the perfect point guard for Monty Williams, unfortunately. At some point, he has to realize that Anthony Davis and Al-Farouq Aminu are elite fastbreak players and Ryan Anderson is an elite shooter and stop playing the slowest pace in basketball.
He is fooling a lot of people.
