Panzeh posted:MVP thief like steve nash who robbed kobe of the one he actually deserved If you gave either of Steve Nash's to the best player that season, neither would go to Kobe. It'd be KG (05 with a decent argument for Duncan or Dirk) and Dirk (06 with LeBron James in 2nd). Kobe should never have been the MVP, he stole CP3's.

How many days post Boston will it take for Avery Bradley's reputation as the best 2 way guard in NBA history, to disappear?straight up brolic posted:Love the Pistons just kick the "should we go into the tax with a bad team?" Question can down the road A Bad Playoff team Stan Van Gundy and his fat bald friend Jeff the flower Bower are incompetent Of course none of that bothers me, because I'm a fan of the Virginia Squires Tae posted:Every player from the first half 2000 stole from Shaq Wasn't Shaq notorious for not going all out until the second half of the season during his Kobe lakers days. I only remember him being stymied by Elden Campbell, Ben, and Rasheed Wallace in the 03-04 finals, certainly not an MVP performance.

We laugh at the Nets for loving with teams, but they basically have to make the deal as unpalpable as possible in order to get them

When you have the opportunity to trade one of the best backcourt role players in the league for a tweener forward with a 7% TRB and 51% TS you gotta do it. He's like the Pokémon devolution of Lamarcus Aldridge

The nets are being paid by Boston to tank and they're using their cap space as an opportunity to lock playoff teams into distasteful contracts, which also benefits the Celtics Although every contract is so short that it doesn't really matter. If Miami had believed in what they put together last year, they wouldn't have had to pay (not overpay) James Johnson, because he'd be on 4 year deal.

i'm not sure how but i am sure that your Morris brother preference belies some dark, hidden, subconscious prejudice. that's what i think.

As bad as Ryan Anderson was in the playoffs he's the exact stretch four the Rockets have been chasing for years so I don't understand the eagerness to dump him. Maybe Morey expected the money to look better before the cap grew less than expected. But having Anderson and Gordon regularly bombing from five feet beyond the arc create all kinds of space for Harden

Marcus is the better Morris. Markieff can't make threes, he makes his living attacking mismatches in the post and defending bigger fours. That's fine but it doesn't compare to his brother's ability to defend 3/4 and to get his own shot. He also has the costlier half of the Morris paired contracts. His brother is cheap and can get his own shot and defend big star wings.straight up brolic posted:When you have the opportunity to trade one of the best backcourt role players in the league for a tweener forward with a 7% TRB and 51% TS you gotta do it. He's like the Pokémon devolution of Lamarcus Aldridge it's Avery Bradley in and KCP And Morris out, that's a lovely swap to save 10m for one season, because your Duke rookie shooting guard is going to save the day. Avery Bradley is a backup, he's a role player, he is too small to be a net positive contributor on defense, despite his reputation, and he doesn't do enough to be a positive contributor on offense. Marcus Morris is the tweener forward playmaker making only 10m over the next two years. Kentavious Caldwell Pope is a better defender and all around player, especially since he'll only be making 5m or so more than Bradley next year.

I saw an article saying that it changed from that to the team that they're leaving in 2011, but I couldn't find out if they changed it again in the new CBA.
