    Neither are serious fans. Both are trolls. This should have been painfully obvious long ago. Likely a downstairs resident created them.

    What facts? That Holt's the majority owner, like what you've been insisting?

    And look up Mullens's advanced stats to figure out why he's not getting anywhere near an MLE contract.

    I'm still waiting for guys like you to prove me wrong....Holt is the majority owner. Please tell me who you think it is......and I wont even add the laughing icon to embarrass you.

    Peter M. Holt (born July 26, 1948 in Peoria, Illinois) is a businessman. He is the CEO of Holt Cat, the largest Caterpillar dealership in the United States and chairman, CEO, and owner of Spurs Sports & Entertainment, which owns the 4-time NBA champion San Antonio Spurs, the WNBA's San Antonio Silver Stars, the AHL's San Antonio Rampage, and the NBA Development League's Austin Toros.

    Please tell me who owns the majority of the Spurs over Holt. LMAO...I can school you guys all night and you just dont get it.

    I'm going to comment on this since the bobcats are my home team. I have seen a lot of bobcat games and Mullens is a scrub. The guy is garbage and his number are inflated due to playing heavy minutes in garbage time. This guy is extremely soft as tissue paper and makes Splitter looks hard.

    You have literally been the only poster on this board insisting Holt is the majority owner.

    Everybody else who's responded to you on this has said that Holt is not the majority owner, has given the textbook definition of what a majority owner, and has explained why he is not. You are the only person that continues to operate under the delusion that owning the most shares while having less than 50%+1 = majority owner.

    When nobody's agreeing with you, it's a pretty big indicator your take is absolutely, completely wrong.

    Watching you continue to flail around impotently and continue to twist and turn in your own convoluted logic never fails to be amusing.

    The dude's just going to keep trolling you, you know. Even if he is as dumb as his stance makes him look, even he can read a dictionary to find out what a majority owner is.

    And it's going to continue showing that the rest of his takes are equally as moronic.

    It's not like pointing out what a dumbass he is is costing me time or sleep.

    Mullens is not a good basketball player.

    Holt is not the majority owner of SS&E.

    Anything else?

    Fairly certain I wont misrepresent him by saying the following.
    Splitter Sucks.
    Mullens is better.
    Holt=Majority owner.

    Food for thought....

    http://queencityhoops.com/blog/2013/...byron-mullens/



    Season Report Card: Byron Mullens

    GRADE: C-
    PER PER Against (Net)
    Byron Mullens 12.4 22.6 (-10.2)

    Strengths: For Byron, we might be better off calling this “Areas of Improvement” rather than “Strengths.” This year saw a fundamental change in the way Mullens was played; instead of relying on the long midrange jumper, he drastically increased his three-point attempts (5.2 per 36 vs. 1.3 last year). It’s a good idea in theory, since the three-pointer is a more efficient shot and it gave Kemba Walker, Gerald Henderson, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Ramon Sessions more room to operate in the paint. (For the reality, see Weaknesses.)

    Even though Mullens was a below-average rebounder overall, he made significant strides on his defensive rebounding. He grabbed 22 percent of the available defensive boards when he was on the floor, the highest mark on the team and a good rate overall for a power forward. The Bobcats were one of the worst defensive rebounding teams in the league, so there are caveats there, but he still showed an improved aggressiveness on that end.

    Mullens also made minor gains in other areas. His rebounding percentage overall got a slight bump (13.5 percent TRB, up from 12.8 percent TRB last year), and he showed some growth in his passing. As a result of his additional three-point attempts, he also saw a very minor increase in his eFG% (43.5 percent last year vs. 44.4 percent this year, which is still really bad).

    Weaknesses: Woof. Where to start?

    The three-point experiment was a mixed bag, at best — even with the shift in his shot selection, Mullens was a very inefficient player. As mentioned above, his eFG% of 44.4 percent was dismal, ranking 146th out of 191 forwards this year.

    Part of the issue was Byron’s sometimes passive play. He’s actually decent at finishing around the basket, converting 62 percent of his shots in the restricted area over the past two years, but he spent a little too much time lounging outside the arc instead of fighting for shots inside. Some of that is the offensive scheme and falls on coaching, but we know that Dunlap was at least trying to get Mullens in the post more often. If three-point shots are replacing mid-range attempts, that’s ultimately good for a player’s efficiency. But only 29 percent of Mullens’ attempts came in the paint this year, compared to 38 percent last year. That’s a trend in the wrong direction.

    Mullens’ rebounding and defense were also issues. Part of that, again, is the way he’s used: his poor offensive rebounding drags down his overall numbers, but it’s hard for him to get those boards when he plays away from the basket.

    He doesn’t have much of an excuse for his defense, however. The team was substantially worse on that end when Mullens played, with their defensive rating dropping from an average of 108.9 to 113 when he was on the court. The frontcourt combo of Mullens and Biyombo seems athletic enough to play solid team defense, but the fundamentals just don’t seem to be there for either at this point.

    (Random side note: In the 470 minutes that Mullens and Ben Gordon played together, the team’s defensive rating was an eyepopping 125.8. They should maybe limit how often those two are on the court at the same time.)

    Reasons for Optimism: The stretch power forward is becoming more and more common in the NBA, especially as teams have shifted to smallball lineups and increased their share of three-point shots. Still, it’s relatively rare for a seven-footer to hit even 30 percent of his three-pointers, so Mullens does have some value.

    If he returns next year, a reduced role and better shot selection could help Mullens improve his efficiency. His defensive issues and inconsistency would be a lot easier to hide in 15 minutes a game, as well.

    Reasons for Pessimism: In a team context, Mullens just does not look very good. Overall offensive and defensive ratings declined when he was on the court, as did team rebounding and true shooting. Part of the appeal of a big man that shoots threes is the way it opens up looks inside for other players; that just didn’t materialize with Byron. Given how he’s struggled to defend, he’ll need to grow into an impact player on offense to justify a future with the team.

    Depending on how the draft and free agency work out, I do think it’s likely Charlotte will sign Mullens to a qualifying offer. As flawed as he is, he’s still a young player with potential, and it will only cost the Bobcats $3.2 million to bring him back. That’s more than he’s worth at this point ( he didn't even meet his qualifying offer, but OP says he's better than Splitter?), but cap space shouldn’t be an issue this offseason. All that said, unless we see a significant jump from him, I’d bet next season is his last.

    OP forgot numbers aren't the only parameter a team uses when making decisions. It's part of it, but far from being the whole thing.

    As another poster stated, Mullens is a career 40% shooter and Splitter is over 57%, so before looking at points (which Mullens takes considerably more shots) and rebounds (which Mullens may be getting an inflated number of offensive boards by rebounding his own misses) - you have to also consider their defense. Splitter is a great P/R defender and Mullens is an overall mediocre-poor defender.
    Splitter's % would drop like a rock if he was called upon to have a bigger role on a weaker team. Splitter's % is a product of getting few shots and being setup by teammates in the Spurs system. Splitter cannot create his own shot and is worthless anywhere away from the basket.

    Both Mullens and Splitter stink.
