Tarik Black Discussion: Returns To Houston (p. 37)

Call me out when black hits a jumpshot or a 3 for that matter and speights makes the min, theres argument to be made when black makes $6mill

 

You guys are quite bias in regards to our own signed players. Speights has actual nba skills thats needed, his spacing. Black is just a hustle player....in general those terms are used on player who lack skill but has to exert xtra energy to make himself look useful. Even as a backup you guys make it seem like black doesnt do no wrong, tell me is doesnt constantly get lost on D?

 

He took it from the clips, blind man can see clipps aint winning squat

 

We didn't sign Black to be a floor spacer, shooting three's. We signed a guy thats energy off the bench and can hold his own against other centers. He's also good on the pick and roll, he developed good chemistry with Russ and Huertas in that regard.

We have his early bird rights, we still have a ton of money available. It's not like we gave him the remaining cap space. Do you think Speights would have taken the minimum to play here?

 

No but he would for $3mill

 

you're getting on people for overrating our players, but you really believe that Speights would come to a 17 win team after going to the Finals twice in a row, for $3M? come on, man.

 

What's so hard to believe that? He took vet min from a fake contender. I know we have to over to get players here so 3mill would've gotten Speights here. Nobody was gona pay black 6mill even for 1yr, come on now. Id offer 6mill to bass, he again has actual bball skills

 

so...you want speights for his transition and team defense? s***, man...being too fat and slow to be close enough to foul isn't a skill.

 

Speights is going to give you about ~30 games of offense that makes his being on the court a net plus even though he's getting smoked on defense....

Then there is the rest of the games where his shot is off and he's getting cooked on defense and you are left wondering why you have a hole in the middle of your TV.

 

no, as with ezeli, the rest of the league is just completely braindead and can't understand speights's greatness.

can it be any more clear how little gs valued their vaunted bench? they let all but two of them go (the right two were retained, btw). wanna know why? because they're not good at basketball.

 

Black not good at bball either and not close to being worth $6mill

 

Khmrp, I respect the fact you rather have Bass. But, obviously they have chosen Black over Bass for a reason.

Time will tell, he's going to be asked to capitalize on opportunities to score, not create on his own to do so.

 

I hope you are working out Boom Boom! Small Ball lineup of death will be fun to watch with you are your best!

 

Hell yeah I'm working out. I gave you my 7 seconds black & white vertical video footage of me hoisting a shot just beyond the free throw line.
