JJ Re :Play me or trade me

[hsxvvd]

He'd be great to get in, have him sit here a year, learn under Finley and Barry. He'd make a great replacement when they are done.

[Obstructed_View]

The last thing the Magic need is a guy who shoots three pointers. Chances are if he's not getting PT it's because he doesn't think he needs to do anything other than shoot and demonstrates such in practice. Stan Van Gundy doesn't seem to be a fool, and clearly dislikes something about the guy.

My guess is that Re will probably be a good NBA player someday when he reinvents himself into something more than a shooter with a big mouth. I doubt that's going to happen before he gets moved around a couple of times and faces reality.

[Pero]

Yeah that 1-11 that "The machine" turned in last night was Stephen Jackson esque.

He shot 3pter's and from the field over 50% before that game.

[DBryant88]

JJ Re is a ing baller. You guys who thinks he sucks are ing idiots.

What the do you know you like the pats your a ing moron

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

I checks draft measurement he is 6-4 without his shoes on. So he is 6-5 way NBA measure players. He is not so small as fan here says. I believe he can be player similar for Spurs as Kerr were. He can be develop into such kind of player if he have coach that care about future of team not just current quarter of game. Van Gundy brothers has no vision. No mind ability to think for future.

People says Bogans is better is same stupid brains kind of peoples. It very easy to find players like Bogans. Every year in drafts can gets such player. Find players like Kerr is not so easy.

[Indazone]

Spurs already have two lights out shooters in Bonner and Barry. What do they need with another unproven slow white dude.

[Indazone]

Well Re might be ok, if a team plays the Duke offense with a bunch of screeners and cutters. But how many NBA teams run their offenses like this? I would say that especially with a Van Gundy coached team that they will run slowdown grind it out basketball emphasizing defense. But they like playing inside out ball. Throw it in to the post player and then when the defense collapses, kick it out to the shooter. If Re can't get playing time on a Dwight Howard team what does that say about him? Unless it's the old Van Gundy problem of never playing rookies.

These players is very poor shooters compare players like Kerr and Re . This my opinion cannot compare them. Barry is old and need retire also. Bonner he just suck. I must say no way Spurs even keep such players. Maybe cannot get rid of Bonner but they will try.

It not such issue as you say because these two players you mention should not even be in Spurs. I am Spur fan and these two player must be replace. So Re would be like Kerr but he would be only such player. if Spurs wants keep Barry and Bonner they is dumb and maybe Scola trade just reason because they is dumb.

There is many others such player as well. Many player with "expert" coach who believe these player "suck" and can no play NBA. Just like other Van Gundy with Spanoulis who believe one of worst NBA player ever Luther head is better than player with complete skills.

Why NBA fans not understand this? NBA have VERY poor level of coaching compare top European clubs.

[Indazone]

Spurs will have lots of money and can easily clear roster room for JJ Re . Maybe they can get this guy some open shots. All the film I've seen of Re says he is a spot up shooter. He can make the shots coming off screens too. He does not dribble that well or penetrate. He's at best an average athlete who has injury problems. But if he plays the Steve Kerr role, he could be ok.

This is what I mean. For team like Spurs or old Bulls always good have player like Kerr or Re off bench when shooter is need for 5 minute time when Duncan or other player is double team hard. I checks and Kerr not play early in career either and he also on bench in Orlando.

Dwight Howard fan keep says if Re is good he will play. But I watch this Howard and he overrate. He is not good scorer and he do not make right or good pass from double team and he not even need get double team. He is not in same level as player like Yao who do such things or Duncan in past years.

Kerr also he is 6-1 and Re 6-5. If Kerr can learn how be able play for 5-10 minute in key stretch for shooting to help team why Re cannot? I watch many NBA final and please not try tell me Kerr is anymore fast or athletic.

[Indazone]

lol no Kerr is as slow as molasses. He played well with the Bulls and I remember in one final they put him in and he drilled shot after 3 pt shot and there was nothing the other team could do.

[Supergirl]

LOL. Don't you have to be GOOD before you can start demanding trades?

The difference between those listed players, and other euros who come and end up leaving the league without having much effect is because someone still sees something in those players. Fact is, there are like 30 teams in the league, all with different coaches. if absolutely none of those coaches and evaluators see something special in the player, then chances are, they are not very special or there is something wrong with them that prevents them from being able to play in a role they need them for in the NBA. keep in mind that a lot of personel desicions are due to needs of the team. there are plenty of times better players get cut, and worse players get signed, just due to what the team needs.

[monosylab1k]

JJ Barea & Devean George for Re .

[Cashville]

he's an undersized SG who cant defend(very mediocre), cant dribble, cant rebound, and cant pass. The SG ahead of him are nice 3point shooters that do a lot of little things(defend, rebound, hustle). He's not a starting SG in this league, he can be a situational bench player though.

[Indazone]

The NBA is like when you were a kid playing King of the Mountain. There was always one kid at the top of say a sand heap. All the other kids would be climbing up trying to knock the guy at the top off while the kid at the top would keep pushing guys back down. Eventually, he'd get knocked off the top. So every year another new kid comes into the picture in the NBA trying to knock off the veterans. The weaker players get knocked off into the Euroleagues, China or another National team somewhere. Some just go off into the sunset. Re is on the edge right now. He's either going to make it or get knocked off the hill.

[Cashville]

He can be a guy like Matt Carrol, bench shooter. But he needs to refocus and work hard on both ends because it took Matt Carrol years to get where he is at, and he has become a decent defender (shut down Joe Johnson once).

[xtremesteven33]

steve kerr was a very underrated defender by the way

[Cry Havoc]

Call me out if you want but I dont see how you can judge him as an NBA player since he hasnt played... at all.

He sucked in college (in the games that mattered). Why the would he be a decent NBA player while sucking in college?

[DBryant88]

LOL. Don't you have to be GOOD before you can start demanding trades?

[tlongII]

Red 's the kind of player that the Spurs could take a chance on. Low risk, high possible return. I don't think you'd have to pay him too much. You could get lucky with him like you did on Udoka.

[xtremesteven33]

maybe jj re could be what Peja is for the Hornets. JUST A SHOOTER. doesnt pass well, doesnt defend well, and doesnt make great plays but he a great catch and shoot guy. and as we can see, it has payed big dividends for the Hornets.

[Bob Lanier]

Peja's 6-9 and is an underrated defensive player.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Peja's 6-9 and is an underrated defensive player.

Even when Peja play in Greek league he cannot guard anyone.
