Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 11:50 AM) Ehhhh More like complete lack of self-awareness or his current stature in the league. Rose compared Melo, Rose, Porzingas to Curry, Durant, Thompson, Green. That is complete lack of awareness. Dumb s*** like this plays better in the GOP v LIB arguments in another forum. This is pretty cut and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 22, 2016 -> 04:36 PM) From how readily Joakim Noah followed him and the way his teammates spoke about him, yeah, I'm going to say he was supporting his teammates. Yup. Been like that since he was a Simeon star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Westbrook signs 3 year extension. I'm happy for the Thunder. Presume they will make a major push for Griffin next offseason (if not sooner). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 So that was about maximizing his worth right? Doesn't that get him to the 10 year vet limit so when he signs the next max contract he can get more? I think Lowe and Stein worked out the math and the most advantageous deal on Lowe's podcast.

Boogua Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I wonder what someone like Shaq would do today. I wish big men would develop in college for a few years. Very off topic, but I'm watching that Magic 30 for 30. Apologies.... I feel like greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like greg He'd be the Shaq you saw during his time except he'd be forced to actually take care of his body and not use half the season to get in shape as he did most of his Laker years.

Imagine Draymond trying to guard him.. Yeah, that's a losing proposition. Though zone principles would help a little. At the end of the day, Shaq had no game outside of 5 feet and was a really bad ft shooter. So his ppg wouldn't look any different than it was during his time. Hakeem? Now that's a different story. He'd likely be better than he was during his time if he played today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd likely be better than he was during his time if he played today. I don't think either of their stats would be that much better, but he would completely collapse defenses now. I think Hakeem would be so valuable due to his a ability to switch and be a rim protector. Him and the Admiral are suited for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a generation ahead of his time with his mid range game and his passing skills. If he played today, I am sure he would have a 3 point shot too.

Chisoxfn Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Wow - LBJ signing 3 year deal with Cavs. Means he will not be a FA next off-season. Kind of surprised. I presumed he could keep doing his whole opt-out thing to maximize his contract. Surprised he didn't. I'm sure he will opt out in two years but still, Cleveland finally has a year where they can truly breath easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
