Sometime it is not the players but the nutriders that are doing the disservice, they don't even realize. Keep treating NBA legends like pedestrian hobos, Kredit karma will for come for them.
Of course he didn't want to leave a young team that just reached the Finals So the hesitation was naturally there which is why he was good taking the 60$ mill from OKC over what became 80$ mill from the Rockets A billion dollar owner folded for 5$ mill, it should have never came down to a day to decide, they should have given him that deal with 3% ownership under the table, you don't break up potential dynasty in the making over what is chump change in that line of biz
Well if they’re right then good for us I suppose. We will have Kobe, Jokic and a KD/KG hybrid. I’m sure Tari is meant to turn into at least a better Dennis Rodman, JC an upgrade on Crawford, KJ an upgrade on the Matrix, TyTy twice the player as Ty Lawson, Boban a better Yao. Eric Gordon is only a few letters away from Eric Jordan. **** KPJ though it’s alright to be low on him.
Its about having a trait of those past legends and meshing them into said modern prospect, Smith has that intensity/no nonsense trait like KG and they both had ability to guard perimeter and PF Other than that and being tall their games were as diff as the eras they play in
https://theathletic.com/4049832/2023/01/04/nba-rookie-rankings-jalen-williams/ 1. Paolo Banchero, Orlando Magic 2. Bennedict Mathurin, Indiana Pacers 3. Jalen Williams, Oklahoma City Thunder 4. AJ Griffin, Atlanta Hawks 5. Keegan Murray, Sacramento Kings 6. Jaden Ivey, Detroit Pistons 7. Walker Kessler, Utah Jazz 8. Andrew Nembhard, Indiana Pacers 9. Dyson Daniels, New Orleans Pelicans 10. Jabari Smith Jr., Houston Rockets 11. Tari Eason, Houston Rockets 12. Jeremy Sochan, San Antonio Spurs 13. Jalen Duren, Detroit Pistons 14. Shaedon Sharpe, Portland Trail Blazers 15. Christian Braun, Denver Nuggets • Don’t look now, but Jabari Smith Jr. has now played a longer stretch of positive games than negative games after his horror-show start to the season. At the time of our first Rookie Rankings in November, Smith was shooting 33.3 percent from the field and 30.2 percent from 3 over 17 games. Since that point, Smith has played 19 games and averaged 13.6 points per game on 44.2 percent from the field and 36.2 percent on six 3s per game. That’s just slightly below the league-average 57.1 true-shooting percentage. And throughout the entirety of the season, Smith has been one of the few bright spots on a bad Rockets defensive team due to his activity rotationally and willingness to help. Smith has lived up to his billing for a good stretch now, and he slides up the board five spots. Smith, Griffin and Daniels are the three biggest risers in this batch.
What? Just because people that are mathematically incompetent exist and think their opinions are worth something doesn't mean the games don't matter. . The people calling the shots ALWAYS maximize their chances of winning on a statistical basis. The good news is, even when you get unlucky, some dumb ass will buy your trash off you because "they watch film." Lmao.
I was using my reply as the flip side of a coin morons who watch the game/film and use the eye test(plus own experience of playing) And morons who use the numbers(stats) accumulated from games played to create their drove of alphabet gang categories to use and argue which one is better than the other to rank players So one represents head and the other tails, both morons, which moron is more reliable?
No Harden was wavering on accepting the deal cuz 5M is not that big a deal long term compared to him playing with his BFFs at the time WB and KD. However OKC then immediately traded him to Houston before he could comtemplate further.
Outliers exist everywhere. Just because Zuckerberg became s billionaire by dropping out of school doesnt mean school dropouts become billionaires on a regular basis. The whole point of statiscal analysis is try to weed thru outliers like this to find the truth. And truth is mid range sucks thats why everyone is now jacking 3s.
Just basing it off what they threw out there in the media if I recall correctly, either way rather he wanted an extra 5$mill or not the Thunder wet the bed and basically paid Ibaka over Harden Of course 5$ mill is not that big to the org. but for young players seeking their first big payday after rookie deal is a big deal or he wouldn't have asked for 60 Either way Harden won and OKC lost, money wise that is
He needs to shoot better he has talent and I do see glimpses of Durant and sometimes Garnett. We need a veteran point guard to make life easier for Jabari and Jalen.
Zuckerberg is a implant/shill, didn't work for nothing and I think his mother or other side is related allegedly to the Rockefellers and that is where he got the funds from to setup the Op/trafficking branch called facebook
