Hashtag Banterzone posted:Plumlee is sorta the Ricky Rubio of centers. He doesn't give you the normal shot blocking, great rebounding or big body that fans expect from a center. Because of that he's very undervalued. He was 12th in RPM last year (which is good!) but 24th in DRPM which is a concern for a starting-level center. I'm also concerned his efficiency has been declining year over year as he plays more minutes, one of the reasons I like him more as a 6th or 7th guy more than a starter. The Rubio comparison is not a bad one. I think he takes a lot off the table (like Rubio does for scoring) and it's a question if you can stomach his downsides for his obvious upsides. I usually like centers who has a bit better track record as paint defenders. He also fouls a lot and isn't really getting better at it, another problem if you want to be a starting center in this league.

Hield probably has whatever disease Sauce got and will need just 2 years of crap play and almost getting cut in training camp to get it out of his system.

Redgrendel2001 posted:Major proclick. Bird was just an insanely good shooter and passer. His body control is really underrated too - both his incredible ball fakes of all kinds, and his ability to switch up his approach to the basket or to reorient into a pass midair. He probably wouldn't be nearly as bad in a modern defense either, he was at least really long.

Bird was really, really good and underrated by a people in their 30s because they only watched him at the end of his career when he was still good but not nearly as good as he was.

I don't remember him being long so much as just being ball-smart and knowing where the play was going before pretty much anyone ever but Magic. Guess I need to watch that video.

Hopefully part of that deal is pushing BJ Armstrong into a sinkhole edit: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/sources-donatas-motiejunas-agrees-to-new-deal-with-rockets-165145947.html So he went from $8mil guaranteed and the second year partially guaranteed (the Rockets last offer in November) to $9mil guaranteed and three nonguaranteed years. Not only that, but he can also be traded in three months.

chunkles posted:Hopefully part of that deal is pushing BJ Armstrong into a sinkhole Not only that, but the deadline for the Rockets to opt-in to each of the remaining years on the deal is in mid-July, after free agency commences and the moratorium on signing is lifted. So the Rockets are free to shop for talent, and if they need to, they can simply waive D-Mo to make cap room if no easy trade materializes. Which kinda sucks for him, because the gold rush of free agency will likely be over, and teams that could have signed him will have likely allocated those cap dollars elsewhere.

I suspect if Houston waives him its because he cannot get on the floor. That contract is amazing for DMo if he can play. I guess DMo gets a bit more money (which is important as this might be the last contract he can get) and Houston gets a bit more flexibility. BJ saves a little face, but this was still dumb drama that happened for no good reason.

chunkles posted:Hopefully part of that deal is pushing BJ Armstrong into a sinkhole Um That seems like a better deal. 9 mil for one year. If his body is actually broken that's more money. If it's not broken, then he has an extremely tradeable contract since it seems like he doesn't want to be in Houston anyway. That contract essentially allows him to be a nuisance and easily get away from the team Like this seems like the most ultimate gently caress you trade me or cut me contract I have ever seen in the world Dexo fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Dec 9, 2016 |

Unless DMo's back is so hosed he'll take medical retirement, that deal is going to be way less money for him over his career than the deal the Rockets offered before Nov. 24 or just taking the QO. And his agent is BJ Armstrong, not Dan Fegan, so he has no control over where he's going to be traded to.

Seems like DMo's only goal is to get the gently caress out of Houston. In which that deal will easily facilitate.

The deal the Rockets offered before was only 2 years long and 1 million dollars less guaranteed. Now he has no control over the next 4 years. I dunno what his feelings towards the Rockets are but they'll probably seem silly when he is grinding away on some 20-win team in 2020.

Yeah, if he's good he gets to be picked up and traded wherever Houston wants him to. It's not like he can decide to be cut or traded somewhere specific.

I think he'd be happy with that if it means he is playing basketball and getting paid. A lot of NBA teams thought there was little chance he'll still be playing by next year.

Sounds like Phil is trying to run Melo out of NY and convince him to let them trade him. He ran Jerry West out of the Lakers office so maybe it will work.
