I tried to be optimistic, but no, I didn't buy into it fully. I was more hopeful Paul might have some better traits in some areas of his game compared to Simmons, but I don't see any area that he's better. Maybe more disciplined on defense, but he's too short to guard bigger guys like Simmons could. I didn't want to let Simmons walk for peanuts. I was happy to let him walk if he got an offer of 11M+, but he got a lot less than Mills, so that really, really pissed me off. Still does.Quote:

All of you selling his shit :lol
He strikes me as a taller Jacque Vaughn. Solid in a lot of areas but not great, and just not big or athletic enough to warrant a spot on a championship roster. May luck into a ring (I think Vaughn may have....?) but doesn't really have a true role on a championship team. These days even your backups have to be former all stars to compete against teams like GS/CLE/HOU
He’s one of the best at fouling jump shooters.
Has been surpassed by Hilliard in the rotation.
For a guy who got all the photo ops, playing time, and free advertisement as a rookie.... he really shat the bed.
Lol @ the "better than Simmons" folks. What happened to them?
Hilliard took his minutes tonight... hmmm
He is a d league player should go to Europe and make some good money have some hot chicks. Our talent pool really sucks I have never seen it this bad even when we had better draft picks.
1pt, 3rebs, 1ast and 0/5 shooting in 32 minutes is what he does!
And scrubs thought he was Simmons 2.0 :lol you know who you were.... can't wait till Juice shits on all of you next game.
Paul is better than Simmons if only for the fact that he doesn't fool people into playing him to then be a cancer that can't shoot and turns the ball over as often as he hands out assists, tbh. :lol
Also, scrubs usually do well against the Spurs, so yeah, Simmons might shit on us next game.
Scrubs also have scrub takes, so that post isn't much of a surprise :lol
49pts over his last 2 games. Get that asshole ready, FAP.
1 point baby!
Not a NBA player.
Spurs swung and missed.
Replace Joffrey, Forbes, and Paul next year with Livio, Blossom, White, and Hilliard.
“What does Brandon Paul even do?”
Well, RC Buffoon needed someone to wear the “Paul 3” jerseys that he had pre-ordered before last summer.
Livio? Hes worse than pauQuote:

He has been in the team all year, when they could have rather picked up a big (since LMA has had the sore knee and Pau is banged up and old). An energy big to compete with Joff for minutes wouldn’t have been a bad pick up. Which just makes me wonder why hold on to BP3. I’d have to think they will give him a summer league with the team to work on his flaws and a chance to make the team in preseason. I don’t remember the terms of his deal but reminds me of Forbes in getting opportunities to make th team again the following season. So we shall see. Considering Paul is an old rookie I do not expect much improvement but we shall find out anyways.
I have no problem admitting mistakes, tbh. When I said Paul was better than Simmons it was obviously tongue in cheek. I think I said it in a game thread after his first good play on the NBA, or in his thread after his first game. Nobody can say somebody is better than another guy after just one game.Quote:

So far, both are scrubs, tbh.
I... Told... You... So... (but saying it at the time made me a shit poster... I wonder what else I'll be right with in the future)
Brandon Paul is like Udoka, he's just there even though you can't really tell
Been watching the Toros very closely he is actually playing very good. And Yes he is easily better then Brandon Paul.Quote:
