    Anyone paying Bazemore 15 is bat s*** crazy. Carroll is, like Matthews, a defender. I can see 10-12 for sure. More later.

    In the new CBA it's entirely possible Kent makes that much. There's going to be plenty of worse contracts than that!

    Fantastic read about where Jordan is now and all the things he's been up to.

    It's going to be more than that. Us fans won't begin to imagine the payday players are going to have come free agency.

    I'll make a prediction: Clarkson shoots 38% from the 3-point line next year. If that happens, that opens up his game; the added muscle mass will help him be able to absorb more contract finishing around the rim.

    Was going to say the same thing. That release is much quicker than what he's done the last two years.

    Anyone notice him barely jumping on those jump shots? That's a major change too. Dude usually likes to JUMP into his shot like Kobe. What I saw in the clip was very steph-like.

    I believe it.

    He's just a few years and a lot of defensive improvement (Not that All Stars have to defend. Hi Harden) away from achieving that goal.

    I hope so. He's got a long way to travel for that, but lord knows he's got the work ethic to get there.

    Hopefully he's on the MIP list next season.

    The balance on the shot is what I'm most interested in. That looks great. His first two years he was prone to drifting at times.

    I love that boy. Work work work. Very good.

    I hope that one last parting gift from Kobe was the crazy obsessed work ethic he may have imparted.
    Granted, he didn't work out as much as when he was younger, but seeing a 37 years old giving it all - may just have been
    what the doctor ordered.

    One can only hope.

    It's too bad all the young guns were not around Kobe when he was healthy enough to train every summer and see his regimen week in and week out ....in full Mamba mode .....during the season. But they have to know. It's the stuff that goes hand in hand with his legend.
