Battier started vs OKC

Also who ever said that he needed to be relied on for scoring? I certainly did not. And i thought it was fairly obvious when i likened him to Battier and Marion that he wasn't needed to be a scoring necessity

And also that was Mexi saying it would be smart for GS to trade Klay for Bradley and Jae, not me. i said i would be thrilled because it's a clear win for boston

i agree that on an ideal team, Jae is the first wing off the bench in for defensive purposes, ala a 7th man. But that's not what the question is about. I have never said once that a team that made the finals with Jae starting made it BECAUSE of that. Mavs didn't make the Finals because of Marion, Cavs didnt make it because of Miller or Battier -- but you can't say those guys deserve to start but Jae can't.

 
Battier and Crowder isn't a fair comparison really... Battier is the consummate role player. Needs zero shots to be effective, plays extremely hard, great leader who has won everywhere he's been. That doesn't sound like Jae Crowder to me. And like Dan said, comparing players LeBron has won with to players not on a LeBron team is a little unfair. With that said, I'll give you Marion, but the 2011 Mavs will always be an anomaly.

Anthony Won't Approve Trade
 
Per Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders, citing a source close to Anthony, the Knicks forward is "unwilling" to waive his no-trade clause to approve any deal the Knicks might seek.
 
Anthony is in the third year of a five-year, $124 million contract with the Knicks he signed in July 2014. Trade rumors and speculation have followed the 32-year-old for two years.
 
Zach Lowe reported for Grantland in September 2015 the Knicks were "getting closer" to engaging teams in trade talks for Anthony, though Ken Berger of CBS Sports disputed the report.
 
Frank Isola of the New York Daily News reported last February the Knicks were involved in preliminary discussions with the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers about a three-team deal with Anthony and Kevin Love as the primary pieces.
 
Anthony's offensive performance this season is in line with his career numbers. He's averaging 22.1 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game and is shooting 35 percent from three-point range, while leading the Knicks with 3.2 win shares, per Basketball-Reference.com.
 
He has lost his cool on the court multiple times this season, however, as evidenced by his three ejections, including on Dec. 28 for hitting Atlanta Hawks swingman Thabo Sefolosha in the second quarter of a 102-98 loss.
 
With nine losses in their last 11 games, the Knicks are just 18-22 this season. They will build their future around Kristaps Porzingis, but they are paying veterans like Anthony, Derrick
Rose and Joakim Noah over $62 million combined this season, per Spotrac.
 
Unless the Knicks can get out from under those bad contracts early, it will be a long time before they are any kind of threat in the Eastern Conference.
