2012-2013 NBA Regular Season Thread

The Thunder really should offer Lamb or that Toronto pick for Varejao. He'd make their team so much better.

and bench a $12M bum?

 

[Teagz]

The Blazers bench only average 12.8 ppg? That has to be a mistype.

Their bench is fucking terrible lol
Leonard is the only one worth a damn.

Well when Jared Jeffries is your 6th man on some nights you can expect less lol.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

And yet they don't even play Nolan Smith -________-

 

[elcheato]

I wish Will Barton was better

 

[bosoxlover12]

IMO Seth could be what JJ was before this season

Varejao makes over $8M, so the Thunder would need to trade Perkins in the deal, but due to Perk's negative value, I doubt Lamb+TOR's 1st in addition to Perk could get that deal done

I guess they could do Lamb/Perry/Collison/Maynor for Varejao too.

 

[.infamous]

lamb perry collison maynor for varejao LOL naw im alright.

 

[elcheato]

Nothing to laugh at. The Thunder lack a big time rebounder up front, he's one of the best. He's a great defender (strong, can front players, can switch on any pick and roll and cover guards effectively), excluding being a rim protecter, but Serge Ibaka makes up for that. He's a perfect fit.

Astronomical upgrade from Perk who is just a stiff.

I doubt the Cavs would require all of that though lol. Thunder could keep Perry, Collison and Maynor for all I care, and I bet the Cavs throw in Daniel Gibson to give the Thunder another perimeter threat.

yeah, no way the Thunder trade their two promising rookies or Varejao. No way in hell.

The D-League has three classifications for player salaries, paying $25,500, $19,000 and $13,000 per year.

D-League teams also have a per-team salary cap of $178,000 with a dollar-for-dollar luxury tax for teams that go over.

Players also receive a per diem of $40 on the road.

it doesnt say the per diem is daily but it is. they use that to pay for their rooms and stuff. the $$$ they make is mote than i thought. the low wage players dont make jack though, its kind of sad.

 

[Elite]

They make way less than I thought

Players signed to NBA contracts make their NBA money though right? Like when Hasheem Thabeet got sent down he was still making #2 overall pick money, not thousands?

i would have to assume they do. straight d-league players are playing on hopes and dreams though.

He's a great player

 

[BwareDWare94]

He's a great player

I think he's on a hot streak, personally. Let him come back down to earth, then we'll discuss this "Great player" stuff.

Varejao has always been a great rebounder

The scoring efficiency of this year is just a bonus



It'd be a smart move by OKC

 

[Mexi]

yeah really
Andy could rebound, play D, and hit an open jumper

they wont need him to do much more
he'd be an insane upgrade over perk

 

[jonathanlambert33]

OKC would be retarded to trade Lamb or that pick for a 30 year old when they're super young themselves. That window isn't closing anytime soon.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

IMO Seth could be what JJ was before this season

Except he's 2 inches shorter and not nearly as good of a passer.

 

[.GR]

should have never made the ellis/bogut move. could have at least gotten a lottery pick for ellis most likely.
