I think it's hilarious that everyone thinks quality 3 and D grow on trees. Everywhere you go you see fans/analysts/whatever say "all they need is a 3 and D wing" or "a 4 that can hit 3's and defend". If you made a list of players that provide both great 3 point shooting with good-great defense the list wouldn't be that long and most of the players would likely already be the role players on good teams.

It's also why I'm upset that Ariza both got underpaid and overlooked by the Lakers and then 3 years later we ended up with the corpse of Deng. :mjcry:

You stealing my arguments breh? I've been saying thus for the longest. People keep saying, "All he needs is to be surrounded by 3-and-D guys" as if you're not lucky to get ONE guy who can shoot and play defense at the same time.

They went to commercial break with him yelling at the same ref like he was a child :mjlol:

He got a point though...the grizzlies have been hacking kawhi on some shaq shyt and i think only one or two fouls have been called...

Yeah, I'm surprised the Grizz defenders haven't been called for more fouls. But can't nobody doubt that Kawhi takes a beating on a nightly basis.
