[quote name="sea manup"][QUOTE name="DarthSka"]In order:
- 2014 FA signings
- 2015 FA signings
- 2014 draft
I just... yes, I know that every few years, there's a draft like '96 and '84 and '03... but EVERY draft, EVERY year has Glenn Robinson, Kwame Brown, Mateen Cleaves, Darko, and the list literally goes on and on AND OOOONNNNN.
Say a couple years ago, I was looking at either luring in Ray Allen, or grabbing Anthony Davis in the upcoming draft. Upside to Davis is the franchise changing potential; defensive IQ, length, quick learning curve, excellent attitude,
Upside to Ray Allen is... 3-ball. And... at THIS point in his career, that's it. This ain't the Bucks or Sonics Jesus. This dude is a 3-point threat, and that's it (and sometimes these days, even that's a stretch).
I would choose Ray.
**** potential.
I expect my Angels to make decisions on potential. Lakers? If I pick Ray and a few years after that decision, Ray is garbage for me and Davis is destroying the league, unload Ray and acquire Davis somehow.

Ray Allen... one-dimensional shooter.
Sure.
[/quote]I know what I said.
What I meant w/ CP was that dumbing him down is missing his contribution entirely.
Dennis Rodman was just a one-dimensional rebounder.
Ben Wallace, one-dimensional post defender.
Nah, man, not everyone can contribute multiple facets to a championship attempt: for some, "Do one thing, and do it well."
