No extensions - maintain maximum flexibility until.....

why would you commit to it? huh? bc the teams that actually win spend. extension to the players or be willing to sign players. it doesn't matter. its obvious LTS is the priority when mle has been sitting out there since last year. putting house in exile. making moves to get under. Which left the rockets with 6/7 playable players in the playoffs btw. this has been brought up time and time again. and now with the wb move, they're back to square one of the repeater lol. LTS!!!

 

I will take my team full of SF's and one center to your guards and one center.

We will see who wins. Height still reigns supreme in basketball....it just not with centers who can't shoot.
Rebounds
Blocking out
Tip-ins
Points in the paint
Blocks
Steals (can be equal between guards/SF's)

Advantage SF's over guards in most cases
(We are talking players playing out of position)

 

tbh this is pure nonsense. but have fun with your nba 2k

height reigns supreme......Is that why all the bigs are constantly iso'd and put on an island and taken advantage of time and time again

 

65 wins, going 3-2 on the Warriors, a year later with a significantly worse roster, same team goes toe to toe with the Warriors again and that somehow means they havent proved anything.

You guys should appreciate our roster a bit more.

 

We will agree to disagree.

Bucks have/had Brook Lopez (shoots 3's) almost made to finals.
Raptors have Marc Gasol (shoots 3's) made it to finals
Warriors had Cousins (shoots 3's) got injured.
Rockets really didn't look that great to me playing Warriors as undersized Gordon playing SF.

And I count 6'7" Klay Thompson as a SF...not guard.

 

why is the bucks almost making the finals relevant but the rockets almost making it not?

 

Gotta keep your peons and workers happy.

 

If you want to go best vs best shooters
PG/SG vs SF's

That might go
Curry/Harden/Beal vs Kawhi/Klay/PG

Then do remaining Guards outnumber good shooting SF"s?

 

Is it possible that MDA plays the players he thinks will give the team the best chance of winning? Is it possible that we chased the dream of multiple super-stars by giving up most other talent in the process? The game is still 5 vs 5 so he puts out the best 5. I believe IF MDA had a rotation worthy power forward on the roster said player would be in the rotation. Coach can’t play players that aren’t here.

 

Matrix has like a 7'3 wingspan and was more athletic than most of the 4s during his time... Amar'e was the size of the average 5 during his time.

 

Picked a random year that Matrix/Amar’e were with Suns with D’Antoni (2005/06 per basketball-reference.com)
Listed as Power Forwards:
Shawn Marion (Suns) 6’7” 220 pounds

Chris Wilcox (S-Sonics) 6’10” 221 pounds
Zach Randolph (Port) 6’9” 250 pounds
(All listed as PF’s this season)

Note*Those players near Matrix’s weight at PF were taller. And I’m guessing their wingspans are not too bad.
Matrix Blk% this year was 2.9% in the regular season, but dropped to 1.9% in playoffs.


Some Centers during 2005/06 season:
Amar’e Stoudemire 6’10” 245 pounds

Kendrick Perkins......6’10” 270 pounds
Brendan Haywood....7’0” 268 pounds
Vitaly Potapeko........6’10” 280 pounds
Greg Ostertag..........7’2” 280 pounds
Andrew Bynum........7’0” 285 pounds
Sam Dalembert......6’11” 255 pounds
Chris Kaman..........7’0” 265 pounds
Jamal Magloire......6’11” 259 pounds
Zaza Pachulia........6’11” 270 pounds
Tyson Chandler......7’1” 240 pounds
Mutombo................7’2” 245 pounds
Erick Dampier.........6’11” 265 pounds
Varejao...................6’10” 273 pounds
Z Ilgauskas.............7’3” 238 pounds
Yao Ming.................7’6” 310 pounds
Shaq O’Neal.........7’1” 325 pounds

Not all centers but I’ve wasted enough time on this matter. If you go by weight, Amar’e was light in the pants. Those near his weight were taller in most cases.
OK for running in the regular season......but playoffs were forced to be half court game. Amar’e and Matrix often
became Bar-B-Que chicken, as post up game was still prevalent.

 

Soup is good food

 

Do nothing = max flexibility.

 

Shouldn’t you be used to it by now? I mean being wrong

 

How are you always so wrong???

You are living proof of the fallacy of the law of averages.

 

danuel house got an extension but he didn't necessarily get a raise in pay. Correct me if I'm wrong. That's the way it is when undrafted! Win or bust!

 

somewhere trevor ariza is rolling over. Wonde why We never hear from the Far"weed" band wagon fans anymore?
