2012 Casting Call: Role Play

[jacobdrj]

Basically, a thread to predict the historical role players will have on their teams.

If you can think of any other good examples, feel free to add them.

2011/2012 Cast

Chauncy Billups on the Clippers in the role of Dennis Johnson on the Celtics

(Championship point guard on a new team in a reduced role)

Brandon Roy on the Blazers in the role of Jamaal Mashburn of the Hornets

(Knee problems for a very promising player)

Tyson Chandler on the Knicks in the role of Anthony Mason on the Bucks, co starring Carmelo Anthony as Glen Robinson

(Adding a 'defensive presence' to an all ball hogging-offensive team that wouldn't know defense if it bit them on the but)

Rick Carlisle on the Mavs as Chuck Daly on the Pistons

(Championship coach with his team falling apart at the seems)

'butt' has two 't's, fyi

Well, I think it is safe to say that all the players in this set of predictions are pretty much out of the NBA picture right now...

Too bad about Chauncey, but other ones seemed to be spot on, despite Ricky C getting an extension... And the Knicks did at LEAST make the playoffs... That ole' Bucks team fell apart from 1st in the East to missing the playoffs that last year...
