[DAF86]

Sorry but I just don't see Lee as a player that is in some different level than a player like Boris Diaw. If you put a gun on my head and make me chose I would probably pick Lee but I could definitely see the case for a guy picking Diaw over him.

And yeah, I know Lee averages like 20 ppg but so did Richard Jefferson at some point. If someday Lee is able to make it to at least a semi-decent team and performs this way I might change my mind but 'till then I can't.

Its just dumb to act like Lee is a prototypical 20-10 player. If he was one then itd be homerish to compare Diaw to him but he isnt so you take his stats with a grain of salt. Bargnani is another good example up in Toronto, his stats are nicer than a bunch of PF/Cs that Id consider better.

Straight up...Lee easily. Diaw's on that frenchie discount though so I wouldn't trade one for the other at this present time.

Peak Richard Jefferson is a much better player than Diaw.

i love how fkla refuses to look at stats in the argument saying that lee puts up numbers on a bad team whenever diaw couldn't even put up half those numbers on the ing bobcats

Peak Jefferson wasn't even half as good as Diaw on the Spurs, unless you think that Jefferson went from peak (that 20 ppg season with the Bucks) to worst part of his career (absolute crap on the Spurs) in one off-season.

At least get your player history right if you going make an argument.

Who are you talking to?

peak jefferson played in new jersey

And he maintained that peak through his year on the Bucks, then suddenly became crap at age 29 on the Spurs.

[benefactor]

You aren't that dumb are you? Look up a couple of years. He averaged 20/7/4 on almost 50% shooting in Jersey in 05/06.

Gotta love how this truth bomb was conveniently ignored by the Diaw Party.

this imo... the next time Diaw puts 20/10 consistently will be his first time...

So peak means just one year? I don't think that anybody in that '08/'09 season would have dared say that Jefferson was past his prime.

Isn't that what you said with the Milwaukee comment?

He was at his peak in NJ. He has several seasons that were better statistically overall than the Milwaukee season. All those years in NJ he was better than Diaw is now. It's stupid to think otherwise.

Too easy. Just look at the shape Diaw was on those Bobcats, he didn't give a . Boris is the prototypical good team player. Then there's also the fact that he isn't a scorer and he never cared to be one.

Going back to the Jefferson comparisson. Bruce Bowen never scored 20 ppg on a season like Richard did many times but who would you rather have on your team?

[DD]

Oh, so he's a lazy fat-ass?

I'll take Lee, then. Too easy.

[DAF86]

Isn't that what you said with the Milwaukee comment?

No, what I implied with that comment is that once he got to a team that didn't fit with his skillset he sucked. I think the same could happen with Lee. David Lee isn't one of those special talents that you know for sure would do ok on every team he plays for.

He was at his peak in NJ. He has several seasons that were better statistically overall than the Milwaukee season. All those years in NJ he was better than Diaw is now. It's stupid to think otherwise.

Again, everybody thought Jefferson was at his peak when he came to the Spurs (from a physical standpoint he most certainly was) and then he sucked. He didn't suck 'cause he wasn't at his peak, he sucked because he wasn't a good fit.

Very neat and original troll. I wish I would have thought of it first, tbh.
