@Henry: Emotional, huh? Did Jrue give you a Wet Willy too? Man, I hate when professional athletes do that. They're never gentle about it.

Your points are valid. My dislike for him is purely emotional haha. Hopefully Iggy doesn’t steal all his thunder.

@Henry: Eeek is right. I dunno. I mean, compare their per36 stats from last season:

Conley: 13/3/6
Holiday: 12/4/6

…their percentages were fairly even too and I have a feeling Holiday is going to see almost all of those 36 mpgs this season.

I also don’t think the Grizz are playing with much upside. We’ve seen what that team can do, right? Is Z-Bo gonna have a better year than last year? Gasol? Gay even? Barring a big change, 2009-10 was about as good as it’s gonna get for them. The Sixers on the other hand are full of guys who underperformed last season or are underdeveloped. Holiday was averaging over seven assists in 30 mpg to close out the season and nothing I’ve seen or read since then leads me to believe he’s going to remain as inert as Conley has.

I’m not saying Holiday is or ever will be an elite PG, but somebody’s gotta come to his aid after he gets called “the next Conley.”

That’s just cold, Henry.

I’d go personally with McGee, Beasley, Holiday, T-Mac. As you said, The Sixers are going to work with Brand, plus you have Iggy and Turner. Holiday is going to be a very standard PG, he could be the next Mike Conley (eeek). McGee is starting to really develop and Team USA experience will do him a world of good. I must admit, Beasley is a guess, but I would punt on him rather than the ultra bland Holiday. That said, for this season, Holiday might be the option just not as a keeper long term.

Nash >>>>>> anyone except CP/D-Will/Curry (but you do have his number a tad high I think… but who knows)
