no, i don't think he's dropped off. he was forced to take a different role last year. i think he'd be right back to where he was in recent seasons if he were in Memphis. yes, he's better than Posey. and yes, he'd help us win a playoff game.

I disagree, but you're allowed your opinion. Right now, I really don't feel like arguing whether a 5ppg dropoff and a perimeter shooter shooting under his career FG% with Shaq on your team is or isn't a dropoff. We need to be looking for upgrades. Replacing JWill with Damon Stoudamire and essentially swapping James Posey for Eddie Jones is putting a different face on the exact same problems. IMHO.
come on. you're going to pull out a miniscule difference in career FG%? that average is weighted down by a couple of seasons early in his career. take those out, and his average would be .433. that's not a world of difference from what he shot last year: .428. (also, his highest ppg average was 20. he shot a lesser fg% that year than he did last year.) and he was pretty much right at his career avg of 3pt%. he would definitely be an upgrade over Posey, Cardinal, Shane, and Dahntay.
