I'm always amazed that people think a guy that can't play for a bad team can help a good one. Jimmer stinks.

If Steve Kerr can play a role on a good NBA team there is no reason Jimmer cant too

The Spurs seemed to have proven that theory wrong more than a few times in the past.

If a guy has a real NBA skill, even just one, teams will find a use for him. Fredette can shoot and has easy 3 point range. He really cant do anything else but that is his one skill. Supposedly he is heading to Memphis

Memphis could be a scary first round opponent if they can get into the playoffs...really haven't had any continuity with their team so far...if they can just get/stay healthy.

Memphis is not that good, I dont think they could beat any of the top 6 teams in the West.

They're not near as bad as their record. You do realize they haven't been at full strength for most of the season right? With that said I'm still not a fan of having the front office influencing lineup/rotation and game strategy.

I get it, but the West is stacked. Could they beat Portland, Houston, Golden St, San Antonio, OKC or the Clippers? I mean not to take a shot at you, but I think they would fair best vs Portland.

Any player can be good in Miami, OKC, Houston. He would fit perfectly on about 13 teams. He can have a long career in the NBA.

Then why do those teams only play 7-8 guys?

Lets not get crazy. The guy is bench scoring and 3 point shooting only.

Miami plays 10 guys.

allen
bosh
wade
chalmers
battier
birdman
king
cole
lewis even gets 17min a game
beasley
oden
plus they want to play beasley and oden more. so miami runs 11 guys.

OKC regularly plays 11 guys.

lamb
the kings servant
westbrook
adams
fisher
perkins
ibaka
thabo
jones gets around 10min a game im guessing
collison
jackson

Those are just the top two teams that I know off the top of my head. Im guessing the other teams plays more then 8 guys also, but Im not going to check up on it.

Harden went off last night. Houston now 10-1 last 11, 13-3 over the last 16. Hottest team in the NBA right now. There schedule gets crazy over there next 10. They play at Clippers at OKC at Miami and at Chicago, they are home vs Portland, Miami and Indiana. This is just the next 10 games. If they get through this 6-4 I think they get the #1 seed. There schedule goes super soft after this stretch.

7 mins a game isnt really playing, it is garbage time and filling in for injured guys and in Miami's case resting players. In these two teams cases there are much better options for them in many cases if they had cap space to use which they dont. Teams have to fit players in who fit the salary cap, not the best player. See how many minutes some of these guys get when the playoffs come.
