I will say this

Beasley was just as good this year as OJ Mayo. If you’re going to pursue one-dimensional scorers- Eric Gordon is better than either of these two from an advanced stats perspective.

I can agree with that...

….Love gets ripped off once again. Here’s hoping it gives him a healthy chip on his shoulder. This team has lacked someone like that for a long time now.

well

KG was a second team rookie and Isaiah Rider was a first team rookie, so let’s hope for the best. Of course, Big Felton Spencer was also second team as was the Rhino.

It’s just frustrating that Beasley — a guy who scores mostly on isos and doesn’t offer much else — gets that much respect. The guy wasn’t even the best rookie on his own team. To paraphrase Bill Simmons, if the Heat offered Beasley straight up for Love, the Wolves would make a face and hang up.

If you matched those two teams up

I am pretty sure the second team would beat the first seven time out of ten.

You put scorers next to Love and Love improves himself, the team and the scorer. Scorers are the easiest thing to find. I know he is not a sexy pick, but a Pick/role of Curry/love would be very effective.

Wussies

Whoever puts these eye-candy B.S. post-season teams together.
