Almost no one's worth $50 mil a year. That shit was a joke, obviously. The fact that they said that while repping Team USA and not the corporate franchies they're contracted to should make that explicit. I could see paying Dwight, Lebron, KG, CP3 upwards of $35 mil/yr based on what they've done but of course the markets, teams, might/can't not be able to support that but that's the value they give.
I'm very interested in comparing the Timberwolves and Grizzlies next year. OJ Mayo is an amazing fuckin basketball player but it seems Minnesota got the better hand when it came to that trade. I wanna see how that shit works out. If Memphis ever gets Marc Gasol over the pond and OJ's still around that squad might be something to reckon with. But Al + Love + Miller is gonna be something nice to look at.
I'm disgusted at the Pistons for signing bitchass Kwame Brown, but there's been this relatively recent trend of Wizards gone to Detroit who end up balling so I'm skeptical, even if in KB's case it's filtered through the Lakers.
Anyone notice how wack Kobe's been in the Olympics so far? 37% shooting, only one trey landed so far? Not very MVPish. But what the fuck do I know, I would've put Kaman in instead of Boozer if they were gonna be occupying the same roles they are right now.
Chris Bosh has been balling his ass off in his limited minutes btw. You don't even have to watch, just check the box scores. Dude's sicker than whatever bug got Steve Nash and B Diddy to ride a tandem bike together.
It's disgusting how the Clippers alienated Elton Brand.
I'm mad at my own squad. We didn't make any real moves while the rest of the conference got better - the Pacers, the Sixers, the Nets, jeez. I wouldn't be surprised to see us as an 8th seed next spring. Complacency is a motherfucker, especially when it's contingent on everyone being healthy. When is *everyone* healthy?
That Cleveland/OKC/Bucks trade will be interesting.
With Posey the Hornets should definitely make it to at least the conference finals next season. If they don't... I guess I owe Jason Kidd an apology and Byron Scott an awkward hug.
Eric Gordon will surprise people. His injury + the shenanigans behind the bench at Indiana last year made him look worse than he actually is. Kid's good.
Watch Joakim earn his way into a starting 5.
Beasley or Oden (can he still qualify?) = ROY.
dont want him to replace prince or rip though!
