i've seen mekel quite a bit. he's slow-footed on d, but works at it and is smart. he's a poor shooter, but a clever passer and finisher. is he...
i must confess that i didn't read any of the posts in this thread, but i believe my answer to the question in the title is "no", regardless.
psshh, like paul pierce knows anything about basketball. henry abbott, that's the good stuff.
ah, i was conflating two circumstances. the team got pasted in the playoffs when gasol and howard were the primary (only) offensive options.
still not seeing how kobe shooting less is going to equal more wins, better development, more FA signings, etc. as for the percentages, watch...
lol, could have fooled me. I'd keep the pick unless it meant a top 10-15 nba player was coming back. and even then, I'd be wary. the team's not...
yep. how many different times over the years are we going to have to go through this? kobe's not the idiot that much of the national press would...
can someone go deep into my brain and delete all knowledge of gary payton save for the sonics years?
wands aside, there might be opportunities to get picks or young players with upside in return for helping some avoid the tax (or lower their tax...
I'm not mad at nash. I'm mad about nash. just crap luck. I think the lakers were planning on this year being lost money from the get go (I...
yep, I'd say the experiment is over. I wasn't down on him last year, but he's had his chance(s). time to look for someone who can play basketball.
rondo's such a tricky case. he's come up huge in big games, but you better have the right folks around him. the lakers don't have that right...
lol at the mvp comment. I think even kobe would say he's not playing well. mvps don't shoot sub .400 whilst doing little else on either end....
I haven't seen him, but you had me at "sabonis's kid".
I was hopeful, too. he seems to have the right attitude, and he certainly has the physical tools. he just has nothing between the ears. he's...
to answer fish, I think next year the protection goes down to top 3, and maybe same the year after that. if it's not conveyed at that point, it...
I thought he got fouled on 5 or 6 of those missed FGAs without a call. I think he was rightfully frustrated given that on at least three of those...
7 assists requires 7 teammates making shots. can that happen? I'm only half joking. what does it matter if kobe's missing the shot or boozer,...
my argument wasn't to flip them. it was to develop them and use them as bait to attract the bigger star. no star in their prime wants to play in...
arrgghh...still upset about this. and he's right about how much progress he made from summer league to the end of preseason. huge strides, imo....
