Talent-wise Varejao is actually pretty close to worthless since his injury, he really can not be counted on for anything (even backup minutes) at this point. I'm not saying he'd be telling them what their gameplan against the Warriors would be I'm saying he'd help them in being able to figure...
Panic! He hasn't believed in him because D'Russell has been a shithead not just because he's been struggling. He's been basically sleeping on defense, not taking pregame (or Kobe's coaching) seriously, etc
I agree that he should get PT anyway because the Lakers aren't making the playoffs but...
Why not? Patriots pursued Reggie Wayne for that reason, wasn't because Wayne was worthless in terms of talent but just because what he could provide intelligence-wise beat what he could provide playing-wise. Warriors don't need Varejao's skills as much as they could use his intelligence
2 games is too small of a sample size to even get the small sample size warning, it should not be even briefly considered.
What you can look at is offensive/defensive ratings (points per 100 possessions); since NBA started using SportVU player tracking 2-3 seasons ago they've had the best stats...
Cook never met the hype he came with when they signed him/paid him that much, he was supposed to be a go-to receiver not a supporting receiver. And Long's production has been dwindling the last couple seasons. So I understand both, especially Cook. Not sure about Laurinitis since I definitely...
also a lot of times people will waive somebody with the condition "only if claimed before FA" so you could do that if you want, see if anyone wants Tyreke Evans. and if you want that roster spot open either way you could also add the condition of "cut before FA if nobody claims"
cut someone before, or clear space another way (find a taker via waivers or clear space via trade). I saw you cut Johnson so you're at 14 right now, and you can keep Toarlyn if you like him but if you want to waive him I'll take him back since that had been a waiveback in the trade
Yeah the real reasoning behind the move for the Yankees is that they corner the 2nd-hand sales market and keep it for themselves
They said in their defense of the move that Stubhub will still be able to buy/sell tickets in a way that works under the policy but based on what I read that's 100%...
Yeah I doubt it was Howard, definitely think it was Horford
There has to have been one amazing deal somewhere for Horford because I expected the Hawks to immediately deny and bury the Horford trade rumors and it didn't happen
And he'd have been a perfect fit for that team
Yeah Harris is more PF than Morris but most likely for the next 4 years - they're both under contract for 4 years, Harris could be a good deal under the new CBA and Morris is an amazing one - one plays starting SF and one plays bench combo forward. Harris came off the bench last night but still...
