MKG

[omahen]

It does seem like you and I don't communicate well or end up on the same page often.

This is exactly what I was saying. I am just stating my opinion. Why is it a problem for you if it is different than yours? Because you keep bringing up how we often have different opinions. I admit I get heated in my argumentation, but I never take the conversation to anywhere personal. I am coleric and we react this way

i don't think Kam actually said MKG was a good individual offensive player. He just said that on/off shows that he can be part of positive offensive lineups.

This is where Sleep and me argue against. If a line-up is positive offensively it doesn't mean that another line-up wouldn't be even better. 

Also, the Mavs are running mostly 5-out at the moment, except that KP is picking and rolling some. But, they haven't always ran 5-out, even this season of course, and they could easily go back to more pick and roll if they found someone who they to use as a pick/roll guy. 

They will certainly not adjust much to MKG. As I said, MKG has a role if he will be excellent rim runner. Otherwise, he will be a problem on offense.

Regarding my summary of your MKG takes, I thought I actually came pretty darn close to directly quoting you!!!

You watching 20 minutes of MKG play live is supposed to be a proof that he is a defensive beast. Me watching MKG play 20 minutes of offense is a small sample and doesn't mean anything. Don't you think this is a little offensive towards me? Not even pointing out that it was you who decided that all my MKG knowledge comes from watching him 30 minutes for the Mavs.

I commented that I liked what I saw live of MKG's defense and that I'd like to see what Rick can do with his offensive role. Kam says that on/off suggests MKG can at least be a part of positive offensive lineups.

Your opinion (or wish) is that something like this can happen. My opinion is, that he will be a defensive specialist and not in regular rotation. You argue in support of your position, I argue in support of mine. So, where is the problem? I never said Mavs shouldn't give him the chance. I just don't have high hopes it will be successful.

Sorry for calling your arguments in favour of MKG hype.

Yep, great reading comprehension. This is all I am saying. Just give him a chance to learn the offense and TRY to integrate. It is NOT a foregone conclusion that he cannot be part of positive offensive lineups.

I totally understand what you are trying to say. However, I am not sure you are willing to listen what Sleep or me are trying to say. I never said he shouldn't be given a chance. While neither conclusion is certain, I think I am entitled to an opinion about what I think is (or will be) his position on the team.
