I wonder what his market value is. Would you throw the max at him?
And if we draft Russell, with Middleton, they could emerge as one of the most potent and deadly 3-point shooting backcourts in the league.
Good point. Middleton is my #1 FA regardless of our draft pick.
That won't be a problem for us. We will have at least Randle, Davis, and Black who can play 4. Middleton will be asked to play 3 almost...
I was under the impression that Middleton was a SG-SF. He is way too undersized (height and weight) as a PF. In fact, that's what the NBA has...
I had a thought regarding the increasing salary cap and backloaded contracts. If the cap were really going to raise to 100+ million by 2017-2018,...
Randle isn't going anywhere. After all the anticipation, we owe it to ourselves to witness this kid develop as a Laker.
:rofl:
I was under the impression that Johnson had that work ethic, and that's why I had him at #3 prior to the recent reports. I can't stand players...
Yeah you're right. It's especially difficult evaluating intangibles like effort/hustle when we haven't seen most of their games. I guess the bigs...
Thanks, the last play shows a clear lack of effort. I'm not sure about the other plays though. Seems to be nitpicking mistakes that can happen...
Hmm... but has anyone seen evidence of Johnson actually taking plays off or slacking during a game?
Wow, and that is an evaluation of the entire season. If it were an assessment of 'who is the best rookie today' Clarkson would be 2nd - 4th on...
You know what they say though @therealdeal one’s true colors are revealed in tough times
I was always high on Johnson, but the recent reports claiming his tendency to lose focus/effort concerns me. I'm starting to wonder if Winslow is...
I like your detective work but tying 1. and 2. together is a bit of a stretch :D Getting a good SF (ie Middleton) and playing Randle in his...
@scnottaken --- good point about the bench scoring, but he's an one-dimensional and streaky scorer. He doesn't get anyone else involved, so he's...
That's kinda my point though. Odom was a borderline tweener that found his niche with the Lakers. (And I think our best lineup was when Odom...
Enough evidence to determine Hill and Young are trade pieces this summer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlX1ommrkYY
^ bummer if he sits. Would have liked to hear your thoughts of seeing him play in person.
