Obama is half white so technically, you can call him White. I don’t get why people only think of him as his Black half.

im not gonna sit here and argue specific quotations, it won’t get either of us anywhere and it’ll end up being off-topic. My first reply in this thread actually wasn’t even directed at wtv you wrote… but back to the warriors, Hendrix is in the D-league for a reason, you and I can speculate as to why that is but lets just say a D-League player is not going to contribute to this team in the win column, its just not going to happen. CJ Watson who apparently was an mvp-type player before being called up last year was pretty bad, and its not like this year he is seeking all-star honors. The fact of the matter is, Hendrix if anything would not even get minutes if Randolph, Belli, Wright, and Morrow don’t even get that many and they are not even in the D-League.

I mean I understand if you want to just give a young guy experience, but thats why you send him to the D-League, because he is simply not good enough currently to garner any minutes in an NBA rotation. Asking Nelson or this forum to play Hendrix just isn’t a smart basketball decision from the standpoint of putting the best 5 players on the floor for the franchise to be competitive. If you inject Hendrix into the rotation now then the Warrior execs are basically saying, thanks for your money all you season ticket holders, but its December and we’ve given up already on trying to be competitive…. more moves like this potential one will lead to a nonexistent future fanbase

You want a quick fix… hope that the owner sells the franchise to someone that feels like spending up to the salary cap at the very least.

misterjennings… good point about Bareeze Obeeze

was just having fun with the conspiracy post and getting some fustration out.

Spot on as usual jae, Kurz is gone as soon Ellis is back, and since he hustles and doesnt make mistakes and is a good practice guy, let Nellie keep him with team for a bit longer. Hopefully Hendrix can improve his game, and earn some spot minutes near the end of the year and be a rotational player next year. People are having backup qb syndrome with Hendrix, there was a reason he lasted till the mid secound round.

Im still hoping that we can make a miracle Maggette, Randolph or Wright, and Marco trade for an expiring and a draft pick. That would open up some roster spots for Nelson and Hendrix.

i understand hendrix has more bulk, but he hasn’t even played in a goddamn nba game yet. if wright bulks up 20lbs then wright would be a force

 But that’s 5 more bruises on Yao ming’s body to wear him down.

As I posted earlier in this if you bothered to read, follwoing another posters comment, I would rather have him as an option on the bench and maybe rather than a straight swap for Kurz, maybe it would be better to have him on the bench in place of Marcus Williams?

The game the other night against Houston proved that if we are missing Bwright, Turiaf and Magette, we are in a bit of trouble when it comes to helping keep Biedrins out of foul trouble. Hendrix would add that element because….“HE DOES NOT COST US ANYTHING” as we already have him available. No trade required, etc etc. I do not believe he is the ANSWER to this franchise’s problems, have never stated that, but he adds an element that in certain situations might just help right now and to be honest, we could use a few more"options" and this does not cost us a cent other than what we are already paying him.

id rather just give those minutes to BWright or Randolph… not another guy that needs to be developed I mean we have enough assets that we need to work on, giving time to another one just sets us even further back time wise dont u think? I mean if we are gonna stick with randolph and brandon then we might as well play them in that situation… personally id play both of them before turiaf anyways but either way… just rotate those 3… lets say they all end up living up to their potential… we wouldn’t be able to keep all 3 of them anyways( randolph, hendrix, and brandon)… so why develop players that will end up leaving us anyways when they reach their potential… just work on what we got right now instead of essentially being a d-league nba team

Firstly….here was his post that responded to:
“I couldnt give a rats ass what his numbers are, he has proven a certain ability to date – my quote”
“Are you watching his D-League games? If not, please explain when and where he has "proven a certain ability". We have extra mass on the bench. His name is Rob Kurz.”
Having provided the link to the D league stats and having started te whole thread his comment of “are you watching the D League games” is firkin stupid to say the least. Does he think I just happened to pick a subject out of the air? He used numbers in his response title, so I dont think it is beyond a common understanding to think that he might referencing numbers by his response.

Secondly, yes I have said it before and I will say it again, this particular guy comes onto threads and rips peoples views and threads, with statements like “Your first line is laughable”, etc etc. Just have a view of such recent postings and there is a pattern. I did think about making it a general comment but to be honest there is a manner to his posts which is frankly insulting and with about as much diplomacy as a Somalian Warlord! If for example, he had said, "Brit, not sure I agree, but would be interested on where you are basing your opinion of him from?

Result = Same point, no hostility and diplomatic. The fact is he has “had a go” on other posts and in particular to points I have made. So yeah, your right, I called him inparticular because I find his “Bull in a china shop” approach to fellow fans, ignorant, crass and rude.

Unfortunately I do tell people what they do and do not see, becuase 9 times out of 10 they dont bother their arse to read a persons comments and then try to understand where their point is coming from. If you read and tried to understand the point I was making with regards to Hendrix, you would realise the role I would have him play is a specific one an thus the reliance on his “Numbers” are moot. That’s not to say the rest of the team has to ignore numbers, just him. It’s a personal opinion from experience I have had, playing on a team where we had a guy who was very similar. A Bruiser effectively, a solid mass that makes getting into the paint hard thus stopping a momentum. THATS ALL!

As to a specific limited application – BINGO, you finally have grasped the very concept I have been discussing. As to Hendrix struggling to stay on the court in the D-league, that’s sheer bloody nonsense.

The point for the last time is to have an “Option” on the bench to serve a specific purpose. Are you telling me you would rather have Marcus Williams sitting the pine and never going to play, rather than have another “Big” who granted wont play much, but could serve you a purpose at a given moment in time?

I fully understand numbers, I was fortunate enough to play at the same level Buike was in the UK, before he came to the states. I understand fully how numbers are key, but right now we ARE VERY short on Defensive pressence. The fact that we are NOT going to get anyone of any note any time soon, shows that it might be useful to have another big guy at your disposal if you needed him to mark someone out of the game for a given period. This is called “BENCH” play and if you suddenly feel Nellie is the greatest spotter and user of young rookie talent, then you have evidently been watching a different coach.

I would dearly like to have someone else available, but we dont have them, what we do have is a lad who proved he had a certain ability in college, is doing a decent job in the D-League, but could possibly do a “specific” job for us right now.
