Gerald Wallace has who on his team?<BR/><BR/>Turkoglu and Hill couldn't coexist on the floor together. I think our scoring has dramatically improved with the opening of a starting spot and by signing Lewis. We move Turkoflu back to the 6th man role he thrives in and we have a better rotation of players in the 2 and 3 spots. We just need to shore up the 4/5 rotation and then work on a new PG rotation next summer and the team will be fine.<BR/><BR/>At least we'll have the MLE next year. =).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6326369852741451028.post-56122812443706199302007-07-13T19:37:00.000-04:002007-07-13T19:37:00.000-04:00I don't know how those stats can be padded, anon. ...I don't know how those stats can be padded, anon. Rebound rate and assist rate, along with most defensive stats, are acquired via skill and not via selfishness. Yes, Rashard Lewis is better, but Gerald Wallace is a better value; he does more things. <BR/><BR/>I hasten to add that the Sonics were also pretty bad last year.Ben Q.

Where is the stats for 3-point percentage, free throw percentage, the fact wallace was "the best player" on a sorry team which padded his stats, rashards skills for being so tall at 6"10 few peoples at his position can come close to mimicing his skills,the fact lewis will be the primary scorer and will improve in all categories. Oh and i almost forgot about the hometown gulliness factor...whatever that means...im sure its a big factor when these guys step on the court...get some basketball education before u start postin bogus shii<BR/><BR/><BR/>My response to the aol post...Whats up with everyone hating on my squad!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
