That's hilarous
well now that Dallas cut him maybe Andy can sleep on Landry’s couch, who knows he might end up back here he seems like a better option that the two scrubs we have on the end of the bench right now.

Andy's headed on a European sojourn, I'd imagine
Which is pretty awesome, actually. Way better than hanging out in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area with that curmudgeony Jason Kidd.

Even if he doesn't make the team
They could start making “Andy and Landry” episodes again. Andy would have more time to devote to it.
The Landryman can
Sadly :(
In their infinite wisdom, the NBA and union agreed to a CBA that includes a change to the provision where a team can trade a player and re-sign that player if waived after 30 days.
They now have to wait a year.
Andy may be back… but it won’t be this season.

I was wondering who else say Hahn's recent twat
I’d LOVE to get Outlol here. Couldn’t care less that he was terrible with the NEts, they expected him to be a starter and really handle a lot of their secondary scoring.
With us he’s a backup 3/4. He’s not a 3pt shooter yet, but the Pringles school of shot will help that. And just the fact he failed with Jersey will make it that much sweeter. I wanted the Knicks to get him last year dammit but not for those papes
Last night, a comedian died in New York. Somebody knows why. Somebody knows
Yeah I like Outlaw too he would be a great addition to the second unit that this lacking in a bit of scoring
and I always remember him being a pretty decent 3 pt shooter in Portland and without the pressure of the contract he should be able to relax and play his game.

definitely and a more open open system would suit his game more than the more regimented Nets system

It would be cool if we got Outlaw
I think he’s probably pretty good, just not worth the contract they gave him. They had to amnesty him and signe Shawne to a more reasonable contract. But that doesn’t mean Shawne is a better player than him.
I’d be surprised if no one claimed Outlaw, though.

i'd be down with him coming off the bench
he was horrible on the nets, but i don’t think he’s really that trashtastic

I do like the idea of giving the Toney experiment a go
And if it works have Baron off the bench for the second half of the year as we rev up for the playoffs
or if it fails having a legit dude to take over the reigns as soon as he’s healthy.

One thing I'll say about this group
Is that they like to have fun. Not as in goofing-off, fun, hard working, but they like to keep it loose and I think that is pretty much top to bottom.
It was hard to put my finger on it, but I think Chauncey is more of a serious dude – that’s the culture they built in Detroit. I could see that having a negative effect on Landry.
Get The Frickin' Rebound
I actually had an extremely similar thought!
I was watching the practice and everyone seemed to be having fun. Working hard with smiles on their faces. Even their quotes. How strongly Melo defended DWTDD. They really seem to be clicking and in a fun place together.
And as I watched, I thought about why it wasn’t this way last year and I thought there’s no way Chauncey would be having this much fun. Bibby may be half dead, but at least he’s smiling and having a good time.
I don’t think we can blame Landry on him. I think Landry was a combination of the rookie wall (he was declining even before the trade) and the fact that afterwards we weren’t really a team. We just sort of threw guys out there to do what they do. A team reinvented on the fly. No real culture or roles. He got lost. This year, we have a real culture, which gives me hope for our chemistry. I don’t completely blame Chauncey, but I don’t think he helped matters. I think he was the most serious and everyone deferred to him too much because he was the most veteran player and he has a ring.
Do the Shumpty Shump, come on and do the Shumpty Shump
Didn't see the practice.
But this is so good to hear. Chemistry is so underrated as is having fun and playing with dudes that you respect. Can’t wait for the season. Hope Baron joins the team as I really think he would thrive in this environment. He also might be the best alley oop passerin the league and that could be fuwith our front line!!!
Baron's best abilities are alley-oop lobs, running the PnR, and 3 point shooting
Dude was made for Pringles
He also feeds off the crowd, he was made for MSG.
It just feels right.
Plus he’s kind of a silly dude

Baron is not a bad 3 point shooter
shot over .400 for the Cavs and is only marginally behind Chauncey for his career

Compared to Chauncey’s 3-point shooting, Baron Davis is complete garbage:
Seasons of 3 point shooting over 38%:
- Chauncey = 10
- Baron = 0
And yes he is a BAD 3-point shooter, over the last 3 years he has a 30% average (a terrible clip)… You need at least 33% to be even passable as a 3 point shooter.

Think of it this way.
Baron Davis averages 16.46 ppg in his career. If he was 6% better from 3, he’d average 17.3 ppg. Nearly 1 more point a game for his team, that’s a big difference in my book.
