G-Rob?

Pretty sure he hasn't got signed yet, and I was under the impression that he the reason he didn't play at Philly wasn't because of an injury.

If this is the case why hasn't he been picked up yet ?

I know he isn't a star, but is a solid 18/20 points a night player.

Becuase no team wants to pick up a player who causes trouble... All of the good teams dont need him while teams who are trying to make the playoffs dont want to risk him scrwewing things up...

by **Ataraxia** on Sat Mar 12, 2005 3:08 pm

yup....hes not goin to be a very good addition for any team that wants a title or reach the playoffs.......
he'll prolly end up signing a small contract with some team next season...prolly one of the lower par teams.

I'm pretty sure the real problem was a contract dispute, which led to Robinson sitting out this season on the injured list with "tendinitis", which can sideline players though generally not for a whole year, and a lot of players play through it at some point.

I don't think he's going to be signing with any time soon. He can enjoy his new team in the NBDL.

by **Fresh8** on Sun Mar 13, 2005 12:09 pm

He can dominate in the NBDL!

man what's with this kid? i've been hearing stuff like he's 7'5" and x-rays show he's still growing???? wtf. how good is he anyway? the next shawn bradley, arvydas sabonis, or shaq?

isn't big dog a free agent right now?

by **Fresh8** on Sun Mar 13, 2005 4:52 pm

That huge korean kid is still growing. Hes got good fundamental skills and needs to work on his game a ibt to actually make a roseter... i havent seen him play so i dont know what hes like/... definately not a next Shaq though lol and not Bradley...

Big Dog is indeed a FA...

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Sun Mar 13, 2005 4:59 pm

The Big Dog is getting on in years so in some respects, he's not the player he used to be in terms of his athleticism and durability. But I think he's still a guy who could go out and score 20 a game as the first or second option on a team.

by **Fresh8** on Sun Mar 13, 2005 5:05 pm

Maybe the Bobcats might pick him up to be a benchwarmer...

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Sun Mar 13, 2005 5:11 pm

If the Bobcats got him, they'd be foolish to let him waste away on the bench. Whenever expansion teams can get hold of veteran talent, they should utilise it.

by **Fresh8** on Sun Mar 13, 2005 5:23 pm

Well.. im not sure if it would be a good choice. I hope Big Dog can be good for the younger players... a role model

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Sun Mar 13, 2005 5:25 pm

I don't think Charlotte should pursue him, but if they did they shouldn't leave him at the end of the bench. When a player's still got something left in the tank, a team shouldn't let it go to waste. He might as well be playing elsewhere and the team has money to offer someone who fits into their plans.

by **Fresh8** on Sun Mar 13, 2005 5:28 pm

thast is true... but how much is he really worth now?

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Sun Mar 13, 2005 5:46 pm

Probably the mid level exception. That's all he'll get from a team he'd want to sign with, which I'm guessing would be a contender or at least a team likely to make the playoffs.

by **Fresh8** on Sun Mar 13, 2005 5:56 pm

Hmm.. I dont want him to join a team and make them worse.. lol

Denver should pick him up and move Melo to the 2... that would be interesting!

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Sun Mar 13, 2005 6:03 pm

That probably won't happen, not as long as George Karl is coaching the Nuggets.

by **Fresh8** on Sun Mar 13, 2005 6:10 pm

That is true.. i forgot about Karl... he used to coach Ray/Sam/Big Dog righ?

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Sun Mar 13, 2005 6:14 pm

He did indeed. Even if he was willing to coach Robinson again, I'm not sure it would work out. They could be like the Denver Nuggets of the early 80s, with a few guys scoring over 20 ppg. Or they might simply limit each other shot attempts, neither allowing the other to score as effectively as they could without playing alongise another 20 per game player.

by **Fresh8** on Sun Mar 13, 2005 6:19 pm

But if teams are brutal on Big Dog he will be glad to be with a team which values him and he can play a rebounding, passing role with a bit of scoring. Its a move which looks good for the Nuggets... Melo at the 2 is good idea to me! (Y)

Bluesky · by **Andrew** on Sun Mar 13, 2005 6:32 pm

Glenn Robinson isn't suited to such a role. His main strength is his scoring, he's not much of a passer (for example, only twice has he averaged more assists than turnovers), his defense is adequate and his rebounding, while solid for a small forward, is nothing the Nuggets can't make up without having to acquire a player who would require them to restructure their offense to accomodate him.

It could work, but in my view no better than the direction Denver is headed in after bringing Karl on board.

Provided that the level of the ABA, where Ha played before being picked by the Blazers, is worse than the NBDL. The 5 games Ha played with the Portland Reign, he averaged 11.4 PPG (with a spark at 24 points). I am not that sure that Ha would dominate in NBDL.

I think we were only joking... lol
