Which player makes his team worse?

[Pelicans78]

I voted Gay.

Maybe not his fault. But he just isn't that great and he doesn't really make Memphis better. He's pretty much a high volume scorer and that's it. Doesn't make his teammates better. Gasol and Conley have done more for the team while Randolph was out. Heck, Allen does more when he's on the floor. But they will need Gay's perimeter scoring if they want to go further, but you could say they need Gasol, Randolph, and even Conley more. I don't hate Rudy Gay, but he's not that good of a player. He's a good scorer which Memphis will need, but the other pieces are more valuable.

Gay takes 20 shots away from ZBo and everyone else... unless he's hitting at 60%+, you take that every time...

Kobe's no different. Both are pretty similar. But I guess Kobe has somewhat earned it while Gay hasn't. They will need Gay if they wanna make a deeper run, but he will also hurt them in the process if he doesn't change his approach.

They were a much better team last season after Gay went down. They were an average team before the injury and played much better afterwards.
