Gabe Pruitt a poor man's Eddie House? So a poor man's journeyman?
That means he'll probably be playing in Europe at some point.
That's all I've been trying to say whilst being trolled. TP.
The guy might not be in the NBA by the time the trade deadline comes around. If PJ comes back or if we sign a guy like Mutumbo... or even Marbury... Pruitt will be one of the most likely to be cut.
id rather the calcifing fossil on the end of the bench assume his assitant coaching duties earlier than planned.
you mean decrepit mutumbno?
I mean sam I am, he of "can't play defense and my shot is gone, darn you father time!" fame from last year.
I don't dislike what sam's bringing as coach, but the game is over for him. Not his fault, father time cataches everyone, But he has no value as a roster spot, IMO. cut him and sign him as a coach if we need one bench spot. If we need two, then pruitt.
But I don't really think we should cut a, however unlikely, prospect to protect sam I am's ego until he can ride the pine in a suit for good next year.
He showed me nothing last year as a player, and a year later at his age? lets say i question that the overall picture we got to see last year is the exception, not the rule out of a 40 year old.
He showed me some good stuff last year, both in the playoffs and the buzzer beater against San Antone in his first game.
While the past is not an accurate indicator on future performance, my bet is on a former multiple all-star whose never been reliant on his athletic ability than a fringe player whose struggling to differentiate himself from a new generation of wannabes.
ok, so one buzzer beater offsets 4 weeks leading up to the playoffs of ok to horrid shooting nights.
and he showed you something good in the playoffs and eddie is a scrub due to his playoff preformance?
how do you even begin to justify that logicaly. Sam was pulled because he was playing atrociously outside of one good 4 minute stretch in the 2nd atlanta game. His 2/27 shooting preformance that led to his benching for the rest of the post season outside of one stretch in detroit in game 3. this was must see for you?
and even if that was the case, he was sub par compared to other back up PG's. and now your telling he he's going to find the fountain of youth at 40? please.
sam was a great player, i wish we had the 32-36 year old version of him, but we don't. I liek him fine as a coach, and i don't mind cutting pruitt, but if the choice for first cut is sam or gabe. cut sam, he has no upside and he can just start coaching. gabe, i agree, doesn't have much upside, but its certainly more than sam.
your bet is offbase and based on nothing but the past. Sam hasen't been that good in 3-4 years, why would year 5 at 40 years old be the year he's productive and can suddenly get his legs to play defense?
at least pruitt can defend a bit, unlike sam.
