Jones can do what Kidd does for a fraction of the price. Bring the ball up the court right? It's hard to be overly optimistic this off season (so far) but this is Jones' 2nd year and he rarely got burn his first. I really think he can be mold into a good role player if we just lower our expectations.

I'm really excited to see Cunningham, as well as any Maverick on the roster! It'll be fun to see some Maverick related basketball seeing as how we got the early exit.

It's actually going to be DoJo's third season... and IMO he hasn't shown any skills that indicate that he's an NBA player.

He collects checks like an NBA player.

Love Carlisle. Sefko and I were talking to him after the media session was over and we were talking about getting the rookies on the fly training. He said he was looking forward to getting them out on the floor and seeing what they can do. We asked him if he thinks the rookies have any idea of the beating he's going to put them through on the floor with drills and repetition. He looked at us, smiled and said, "No."

I'm a huge Carlisle fan. I don't think you'll find more than two or three coaches who are better. Between he and Dirk, I think this team will likely overachieve, regardless of who is on the roster. But I do believe those rookies are in good hands. If they are willing to work to get better, he'll make them better.

Idk, I'm not that down on him. He has shown flashes but more at the PG than SG. I liked some of the things he did with the penetration and he sees the floor fairly well, it's just his finishing isn't all that much better than kidds when he gets close.
