PURE ETHER for those who doubted. And you know what the ink isn't close to dry but we have it here in black and white so barring no injuries and continued play from Illson-Mandler our GM has to put the money where his mouth is.

"Everything's improved on The Mayor..."

"...his shooting technique has improved, his choice of shots has improved and the new players on the team have a lot to do with it because he gets better chances. The biggest change is when he gets to the goal in one dribble, he's such a great athlete and leaves his feet, he's up over anybody, and that separates him from a lot of players."

"Wilson has played at the top of the league in some games this year and [Tuesday] night was a good example, the way he played against a top team and they couldn't deal with him. He was shooting well from the outside, his uncanny ability to change direction in the air. He's gotten stronger and become a better defender. His game has jumped a lot."

I have no idea what you're saying but thank you for posting the link as clarification to this topic.

I would like to re-sign Chandler too and I think it is better that Walsh is waiting till the summer to sign Chandler because he needed to see if Chandler would finally take the next step in his career and become a better player. Chandler has done that so far, despite a rocky start to the season. If he continues playing like this (smarter and more efficient than what he used to play like) than I would absolutely support re-signing Chandler to a reasonable contract.

yea, but the numbers being thrown around are 5 years and 60 mil? do you want to give him that much? Honestly, signing a player also opens up a trade, especially if he has a reasonable deal...

joec32033 - "but it just seems that always around the 60 game mark"

AM - This is only The Mayors fourth season. His rookie year he played 35 games, in 09 The Mayor played 70 games. Last year, coming off a more serious leg injury than he or the campaign office wanted to admit (because he is a warrior), he played 64

franco - there are still too many games that he finishes with few points and a minor impact on the game.

AM - franco, care to identify the games you are referring to? One more thing, what season have you been watching?

Don't get stuck in the past

In 09 he played 70 but played hurt for a bunch of games before they shut him down at the end if the season. It was the same last year. Don't get it twisted, it is a small sample size but in 2 out of his 3 seasons as a full time player he has not finished out a season. Maybe they are freak injuries. Maybe not. What worries me is it is at the same point every year for a young player who looks to be in constantly tremendous shape.

I am not bashing him but facts are facts. If he can put together a 77-80 game season or at least get through to the end without a nagging injury it would be huge in my mind. Keep in mind my main point is he seems to get hurt or start feeling it at the same point every year and his numbers do start to dip.

I am not bashing him, I have been impressed with him this year and may actually may starting to become a fan of his, but as of now I personally-not that it means much In the big picture-have concerns about him.

So... I guess we can expect Turiaf/Mozgov/Gallo to be dumped for expiring deals? Otherwise the math is pretty tough.
