Pooleā€™s back in the NBA, at least short term. Heā€™s actually done quite a bit better than before and is 33% from the field in January (up from 25% before) in three games.

Poole scoreless in 15 min. tonight.

Iā€™m still surprised a contending team hasnā€™t added Jamal Crawford. He scored 51 points in an NBA game just 9 months ago.

I think itā€™s best to remember that salaries arenā€™t really based on contribution or minutes - Walton and Burkeā€™s salaries arenā€™t indicative of them carrying the same weight, but that Burkeā€™s production is nearly replaceable by someone a team could pickup for free (like Walton was).

Iā€™m not saying I agree with that, but I think Burke has established that heā€™s no better than a lower tier backup PG or Cadillac third PG - IE often closer to the G League than the rotation.

Really two of my favorite players!

Disagree. Heā€™s gotten a lot better and provides quite a bit off the bench. While not a perfect metric by any stretch of the imagination, his PER is above average.

Iā€™m also not sure what in the world that ā€œBurke is closer to the G-League than the rotationā€ comment means. Heā€™s literally in the rotation averaging 14.6 mpg lol.

Heā€™s sat in 1/3 of their games, and has battled Neto for a spot in the rotation all year.

Duncanā€¦Carisā€¦

Looks like Poole might be figuring it out. Last two games heā€™s averaged 15 points on 43% shooting and 44% from three

Canā€™t heart that tweet enough. May have to create new Twitter accounts to keep hearting it.
