I hope she's not a magic cheerleader or friends with Howard's baby mama. I've never disliked JJ, but I wasn't a fan the first couple of seasons either. While I had faith and didn't want him traded, I'm really happy any times he played during last season. I don't think I'd buy a jersey, but would buy a t-shirt with his name and # on the back.

DON 10 Report post Posted July 17, 2010 i gotta admit i was no JJ fan until last year. i couldn't understand why we wouldn't trade him or somethin. but over the years he has gotten a whole lot better and is not such a defensive liability. and if he has improved as much as he did from last summer we will be in good shape at the 2 guard. i dont like how much we had to pay for him, THANX CHICAGO!

Looking at names like Wade, Allen, Joe Johnson, VC, Salmons, & S-Jax on playoff teams in the East...I don't see how a team with legit aspirations of becoming a contender can bank on him as a starter. Allen is prob the only player he's not road kill against. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, I just think JJ's defensive liabilities are overstated. In fact, I think sometimes good players see JJ on them and wind up pressing the issue to where they are forcing up bad shots. Yes Brewer is a better defender, but he isn't near the offensive player JJ is. The fact is, this team performed better all around with JJ on the floor at the end of games than Vince. And VC was supposed to be the "closer." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magic Fan 4 Life 14 Report post Posted July 17, 2010 I'm so happy that Redick's happy. When he was drafted I LOVED the pick! I was so pissed when he barely played the first 2 years and loved that he finally got time when Nelson went out. He's our future starting SG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jack l j 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2010 i hope this does not become a jj this or jj that debate. i think we have beat that to death. be happy we have a hard working smart player on the team. will he start or not will not be decided on this board. i think he and nelson to gether will be rough. a lot of zone and help defense will have to work. i think it will depend on vc and where pietrus ends up. i also think lewis will be the sf and a surprise will be at pf. i am excited to see how it unfolds.
