Marcus Thornton

[Granath]

Have you given up on the idea of signing a player who doesn't suck?

PLEASE tell me a player that IS available that has a higher PER than Thornton's 14.9 PER.  Please, just tell me ONE that is AVAILABLE to be signed by March 1 and therefore able to help us in the playoffs.

I will be patiently waiting.

Jordan Mickey has a per of 42.3

It is always fair to compare slightly over 12 TOTAL minutes played by Mickey with Thornton's almost 1200 minutes played this year!!:-))))

Dude can shoot. We need that.

Have you looked at his stats?  40% from the field, 34% from 3.  Worse the last two months. 

[chambers]

I watched him play in Australia.  He sucks really bad.
No where near nba ready.

I'm fairly sure this is about the other Marcus Thornton (who was a Celtic briefly last year).

We don't really need another 6-3 guard. I personally would wait and see if Kevin Martin gets released. He would be a nice offensive punch to have from the bench.

No, I hadn't looked at his stats for this year. Just going by career reputation. He's a 36% 3pt shooter for his career, but had some years better than that when he was in Sacto. He also shot 41% from 3 in his limited time as a Celtic.

Is this some kind of joke Loose Cannon???  Ayres has played LESS than a TOTAL of 15 minutes this year!!!!  Thanasis has played a TOTAL of 6 minutes.

Please stop wasting my time.

I will take Kevin Martin!!  The only advantage of Thornton is that he can and would play both SG and SF for us, but Martin can ONLY be a SG as he looks anorexic!

At least I suggested two guys who aren't guaranteed suck monkeys.

I'd much rather take a shot at a guy with upside like those two, than a retread like Thornton or Martin.

[iadera]

We need to sign MT.  He knows our system and Brad and would be instant offense when he is on!!

Houston is finalizing a buyout with him!!

Smitty77

I liked Marcus (much more than Jordan Crawford), but I'm less bullish on adding yet another guard.

Edit: Seems he managed to play significant minutes for Houston as a SF. Didn't realize that.

Can you tell me how many minutes he played at SF and how many at SG for the Rockets?  He always seemed like a pit bull, sort of like Marcus Smart, but with killer range:-)

Smitty77

I've never heard of an awful defender be referred to as a "pit bull".

Me to.

Loose Cannon,

Did you realize that the average PER in the NBA is a 15?  Did you realize that would make Marcus Thornton an average NBA player??

Smitty77

P.S.  Did you think Thornton was a "suck monkey" last year when he played for us???  He scored 8.9 points per game for us in only 16.4 minutes per game and shot 41.6% from three!!
