The dude IS Elson, but even skinnier...which I bet you never thought was humanly possible. Same skill set, same attitude. No thanks.

[Pistons < Spurs]

I guess it depends what you call cheap. IN his mind, he's about to get paid. He did a great job stepping in this year, and added quite a bit to his value. Career highs in points and rebounds. And he lead the league in FG%.

I'd expect him to get the whole MLE from some team this off season. Not exactly what I think of as cheap.

If he gets the whole MLE then that is absolutely crazy expensive for him.

Butler and Moore are completely different players. But Moore has proven himself in at least one full season while Butler has only proven himself in about 2 full games.

Butler might be a great player one day, but he has proved nothing yet.

[Solid D]

The Spurs cut him.

[Darkwaters]

The Spurs cut him.

He means Mikki Moore and not Butler. I know Elliottfan was probably going bonkers thinking Jackie was off the team! :lol

[whottt]

And he talked shit to Pop(cussed at him) in the middle of a game the last time we played the Nets. Got a T for doing it...might have even been ejected...I can't recall for certain, but I know he got a T, and a finger wag from Pop.

At this point..I think Dennis Rodman is more likely to play for the Spurs.

Don't you guys watch the regular season?

[Darkwaters]

And don't you guys watch the regular season?

Only the 4th quarters.

[whottt]

That happened in the 4th Quarter.

[Kori Ellis]

Mikki Moore flourished in NJ, but he's not as good as his numbers indicate. He averaged 10/5 on the season, but that's because he runs the floor well, was a recipient of a lot of JKidd gift passes, and because he was in a contract year.

He probably deserves about 2-3M a year but some stupid GM will overpay him.

[Darkwaters]

That happened in the 4th Quarter.

It's a joke. People say the only part of NBA games that matters are the 4th quarters.

[whottt]

I get it...and it's not really that much of a joke...it's actually kinda true. Anyway...it did happen in the 4th and I am surprised no one else seems to remember it.

[T Park]

Elson for whoever on the Nets.

Elson = Mikki Moore

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Yea I knew he meant Moore. And yea I would've gone crazy if he was cut. :lol

[Solid D]

Yes, I meant Mikki. To Mikki's credit, he has stayed in the league and has improved his game since 2002 when they cut him during training camp.

[Bruno]

Mikki Moore is this year Jerome James.
He will get a good contract after his great year but I doubt he will be worth it.

He did not curse at Pop.
He got angry at the calls so he asked Pop if he paid off the refs.
So Pop smiled and did :nope thing.

[michaelwcho]

Mikki Moore will be paid way too much, in the same way that Brian Scalabrine was. It's all about Jason Kidd.

Ahh ok. That's not as bad as I thought...although I don't think Pop liked it much. Moore got T'ed up for it right(The Refs probably didn't like the comment much either)?

[texasqb2]

why is everyone on the Jackie Butler bandwagon? What has this guy proved besides he knows how to take advantage of a buffet?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

His potential is what gives us confidence in him.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Why do people keeping writing Butler off? Let's get the kid on the court before we call him a bust...

[tmtcsc]

Jackie Butler is a fucking waste of space. Why even mention his name ? We absolutely made a mistake when we signed him.

And what's up with that friggin beard ? Does anyone in the locker room give him shit about it ? He looks like a friggin black Taliban, if they actually exist. -- Not a racist comment, just an observation.

He's just wierd. I can deal with wierd but he's not good and wierd. So he lost weight, so what ? I have a feeling he's going to go Full Metal Jacket one day if we don't drop him.

Can you tell its the dog days of summer ? No NBA news that matters, football is weeks away and we're stuck with baseball games. UGH !!! BASEBALL SUCKS ! It's hideously boring. Newsflash right ? Capt. Observo at your service.

Sorry folks, just venting. 3 months, 3 weeks until we start the repeat. Jackie, shave that nasty beard and get serious about playing basketball would ya ?

[jag]

Elson for whoever on the Nets.


Good take. :rolleyes

is Jason Kidd God or somethin? i mean honestly, i'm sure Moore will be overpaid but did Kidd pass the ball to him and then make all those 12-18 footers for him as well?

[smrattler]

All the Elson hate is a far cry from the love he was getting around here after that opening night game 1 in Dallas this past season.

[Spurologist]

If Moore is signed by the Spurs, Jackie Butler would eat him. It's a lose-lose situation

[Kamnik]

He probably deserves about 2-3M a year but some stupid GM will overpay him.

Thats a sure bet.

Players that play alongside Kidd or Nash should always take away 25% of their stats to get their true value. :fro

Agreed. That goes for TD as well.

[cherylsteele]

I get it...and it's not really that much of a joke...it's actually kinda true. Anyway...it did happen in the 4th and I am surprised no one else seems to remember it.
I remember that......I also remember that Pop shrugged his shoulders before his finger wave too.

[Kamnik]

Agreed. That goes for TD as well.

shooters yes

also shaq goes into this category

Kapono anyone? :lol

[mowgli]

Why do people keeping writing Butler off? Let's get the kid on the court before we call him a bust...

Let's get him on the court before we label him a winner. In either case, we really need to see him on the floor when it counts.
