maybe in a video game your argument would be true. in real life, if you chart contract value with performance you will go crazy.
the biggest thing for me is that someone emerges as a real leader in words and actions. they can't be a "young team enjoying the ride" anymore....
Ariza is, in baseball terms, a "five tool player". He has a sweet stroke, very good basketball IQ, and defensively is very sound. He can guard...
rubio is in the nash mold of players. so when you take the mvp nash of the early 2000s, and compare that nash with harden, you still will not be...
getting him would really propel the Rockets to even loftier "most hated team" status. bad character does not win titles even with all the talent
i must have watched a different playoffs in an alternate universe because those definitely didn't happen
The difference is that if Morey had a chance to get Lebron, he would not hesitate to deal Harden in a heartbeat if it took that, core player or...
you're correct in the meaning of elite. but Morey doesn't seem to see it that way. if Morey had any of those elite defenders/shooters/shot...

I think the Ariza effect will be much more than we expect. Parsons takes about 15 shots a game and this can be easily spread out among Howard and...
great natural ability, but very immature mentally. for a Rockets team that lacks real strong leadership, adding an immature guy will probably...
this. and Bosh's skills - proven perimeter scoring big man, above average defense, championship experience - fit so snugly into the Rockets'...
exactly! Bosh has his rings, and as a grown adult facing lots of $$$, plus the chance to win even more rings with new teammates, it makes little...
it's really hard to expect agents and players to prioritize working together with management if you are not a top tier player. In Parson's case,...
would going after one endanger the chances of landing the other? will going after the 2 big fish result in landing none, instead of zeroing in on...
The Spurs is system is not just about offensive sets. It is a team culture where young players are allowed to grow and refine their game and even...
if you had put Parker and Ginobili when they were rookies to develop under coaches like Mike Woodson, Mike Brown, Kevin Mchale, Brian Shaw, Isaiah...
