SportsRadio 610: Bob Sura on at 4pm (3 yrs, optional 4th)

In transition, Sura is an excellent finisher.

 

There will never be fast break on a Van Gundy team....You will not see run and gun--cannot blame this on Steve Francis or Mobely....

 

A tip jar bet that the Rox aren't dead last in the league in FB points for the 2004-05 season? They were dead last under both RT and JVG. It isn't the coach.

 

I'd like to remind the critics of four little words about players who've been signed cheap.

You can trade them.

Now, wouldn't it be nice to be able to say that about, say, Maurice Taylor?

Would you like to be holding Eric Snow's contract in two years? Brent Barry's in three? Derek Fisher's in four? Remember how much fun we had unloading Glen Rice? God, it was hard fending off the offers. Remind me how many picks they gave us in return, and how many minutes we got from Amaechi?

If you don't like Ward or Sura a year from now, guess what: You can trade them.

 

You don't post very often, but when you do, you really echo my sentiments.

I can't imagine Bobby Sura got the full MLE. At most, I think he got 3M of it, which means at most he has 10M over 3 years guaranteed. Ward either got the rest of the MLE (which means 2M first season) or the vet exception (1.6M first season).

 

where can you find stats on fastbreak points? and while i know we were dead last last year (my God, brake check was stealing money, 40 bucks one game, 80 the next, repeat) were we actually last under RT? obviously we didn't have a lot but i don't remember being last, but then again i don't know where the stats are.

 

Not sure how we can't be last in FB points. You actually have watch the game for that.
I mean, we were the 2nd worst team in TO. It's not like we were good at FB.

That sure would be a strange stat: 2nd worst in TO, but mid-pack in FB points. Heh...no way.

 

If we don't like them a year from now, what team will? And who do you get in return? Moochie? If they stink that bad their only value is as cap filler and we'll probably end up throwing a 1st rounder in too.

 

It will be a joy once again to see this team fast break and finish. It will be nice not to have to see JVG waving his arm to push the ball up the court like he did every game last year. That just got painful at times! I doubt he will need to do that with Sura.
