Bless you for knowing the players. For most Americans, like myself, we had a reason to start drinking early on a Sunday and were banking on the Messi guy doing some elite shit. We were tuned in for greatness. Then we needed coffee to truck through and then some guy named Goat scored.
These German players make 408k if they win this game, 204k if they lose. Basically they can either buy a Bentley Mulsanne or they can't, and they have less than an hour to figure it out.
If you are under the cap, don't exceptions still add to your base salary and lower your cap space? I know you can use them when you are over the cap, but if you use them when you are under, don't they still add into the figure?
I'm surprised you said this. I don't think any NBA front office would make such a drastic 180 degree turn on the perceived value of a highly drafted prospect after the rookie season.
I don't know, maybe they're just not as high on Love as the rest of the NBA is. Look at the identity they've taken with their front court. Tough players, bangers, guys who contribute in ways other than scoring such as passing, defending and creating turnovers. Maybe even though they're not...
Bennett's value has to be higher if only for the fact that he has a more NBA-ready body, but of course Porter has value. There's going to be value for a 3rd overall pick who just turned 21 and an awful rookie season isn't going to completely kill that.
Yep. Andre Drummond could go 25 and 14 and surpass Dwight Howard as the best center in the game, it won't matter. If Brandon Jennings is your PG, it won't matter. And especially not if Josh Smith is still starting at 3 rather than 4.
Just being devil's advocate, but there could always be a three team trade where Love goes to Cleveland, Minnesota gets Klay Thompson, and Cleveland retains Wiggins.
How could the Wizards possibly be regressed? Even if you'd rather have Ariza over Pierce, which is something I disagree with, the lifeblood of that team is the back court. The WORST case scenario I see with that back court (aside from a devastating injury) is Beal improves and Wall takes...
Bruce Chen today which means the Tigers will have 1 run on 4 hits. Chen against the Tigers is a better pitcher than Pedro in his prime.
