2391598, 2014 Bulls starring D Rose as.....MANU GINOBILI
Posted by DVS, Wed Nov-19-14 09:26 AM
I was having a heated debate with a coworker...

Him: D Rose is a shadow of his former self....he'll never be able to carry the team...we need to trade him and cut our losses

Me: No....we just need to accept that Derrick is now named Manu?

Him: What?

Me: All we need out of Derrick is 20 mpg during the regular season and potentially 30 mpg in the post season. While Manu is a shooter and spaces because you have to respect the outside shot and the penetration...Derrick's penetration and passing creates the same mismatches...and with a better core around him....I expect him to get regular games off because WE DO NOT NEED HIM TO WIN! We just need him to win it all.....which means multiple DNP's and spot usage.


Thoughts?
