Think about the contracts given out, Kwame 7 million, Marc gasol Max, Tyson close to Max, OKC is just brilliant. Kendrick would've commanded 10 million around in the market and they got his extension at 7 million not too far off from Kwame but he is exponentially more useful on the court, either way...they are going ot have to really pay up to keep Harden and Westbrook making close to 3 max deals after durant. No matter how well you manage, thatll be tough to sustain in a small market. If they bring rings, then they can do it like san antonio i guess
WB is a done deal. He will get the max. How OKC keeps both Harden and Ibaka beyond the next two seasons concerns me, but at least they have two more seasons. Maynor will eventually be traded this coming summer or next. They hope Reggie Jackson will become an upgrade over him.
Man I love the way Melo is playing. He is completly controling the game as a point forward and that may be an answer for New York. But I am impressed with Rondo. First of all I forgot how amazing to watch he is when HEALTHLY and he is healthly. The guy can do it all and his jumpshot seems to improve a lot. And he is making free throws! Boston will have a difficult year but look for Rajon to have an amazing season.
KG and Allen look old. Pierce may look even worse. I am afraid this may be a dissapointing year for Boston, no scoring.
Agree with you. The Celtics may end up 5th or 6th in the East. Shumpert has promise but this guy shoots way too much. Needs to slow it down.
I actually hate the way he played. HATE. You are a point guard, you have Melo, Amare on the floor. Once he has the ball in his hands FORGET ABOUT IT. He will force a bad, contested shot but he won't pass. Maybe because it is his first game and I know he has time to learn but that's a bad fit, another shoot first shooting guard in PG's body.
The Knicks have to put Shumpert on the bench. He's out of control. Their 1st half lead may have been 20 if he hadn't chucked so many dumb shots. Knicks didn't come to play to start the 2nd half but they still have time to take control and win convincingly if they play smart.
he's always been a good player except the magic don't like the typical PF. they want a PF that will shoot threes.
Shumpert looks like your typical NY street baller on West 4th who has no clue how to play organized basketball. In other words he should fit right in on that team. Chandler looks overpaid. Smart move by Dallas. Standard move by NYK.
