I Liked Collins in the SL, but I Think He's Gone

[Proudiddy]

He is getting completely outplayed by Crittenton. He apparently had 5 TOs tonight and didn't do too hot against Cleveland either... I really like Crittenton's ability and potential, which I consider to be untapped b/c of the situations he's been in with the Lakers, Wizards, and Grizzlies (IIRC). And with the way things are going with Livingston, I trust Crittenton more than Collins at this point to backup DJ - I also like his versatility.

It just seems like Collins has regressed since SL.

SN: UPS is gonna be a beast this year, people don't even know, I saw it coming...

I agree. Collins and Darius Miles both look like they will be cut soon.

[Fred Williamson]

I also would not mind to cut McGuire and unleash UPS. Too bad Hendo is injured, would have been great to see how he would play like with big minutes

[K1NGofAKR0N]

i think d.j. is doing pretty well. along with tyrusand not to mention ups

The problem was, we all thought if he could put on 5 - 10 lbs of muscle he would be able to play the big minutes.... but how many players have we said that about @lexi, or the reverse of 'just loose 5 - 10 lbs'! @May @Diop, that couldn't do it for us?
Brown looks a lot tougher this year.. I am happy for him (and us!)

Using this thread as a "PG situation in general":

Nuggets' lack of sacrifice hurting potential Melo trade

One way to up the ante, another executive said, would be for the Nuggets to sweeten their offer by agreeing to part with veteran point guard Chauncey Billups. Sources believe such a concession would be more than enough to reignite the Bobcats' interest in participating in the deal; Charlotte coach Larry Brown is said to be "freaking out" over his lack of a point guard, according to a source. Billups played for Brown in Detroit, leading the Pistons to the 2004 NBA title as the Finals MVP. Thus far, however, the Nuggets have displayed very little interest in trading Billups, a move that would be a sure signal to their fans that a major rebuilding project is under way.

Actually went to the Thunder game, Dj didn't look that bad. I thought he would get outplayed by Westbrook but he held his own. Had a couple of nice 3's set up by Diaw. Diaw was decent even if he didn't get any rebounds. Jax and Gerald I think played okay but were I think waiting on the regular season. Collins looks like a full back for the Panthers and Crittenton was alittle wild at times. UPS played great and is going to get good minutes I think this year. McGuire was fair but he can be replaceable if better options come along. Before the game Hendo was out shooting and it is evident he is not a good shooter. He missed shot after shot I know he has hamstring problems but that doesn't stop your stroke. Rogers won't make it on this team, Miles should retire as he looked to be in slow motion but he did have a nice pass to Rogers who was shocked when it hit him in the hands. The story of the night was there was an actual Diop sighting. He hit a 10 foot baseline jumper that if I didn't see it with my own eyes I would have said it was Nazr. Then he had a put back that was as it Crash was coming across the lane but he tipped it in.

You have GOT to be kidding me. It must have been Alonzo Mourning making a comeback.

He actually looked like an NBA 3rd string center

What would be worse to have on the team. Diop or Eddy Curry, nevermind the contracts.
