Even the Haters were roided up
I had things pegged pretty solid with exception
To a major whiff on Charlotte
They IMO are by far the most disappointing team in the East
Al Jefferson is overrated (offensively) and he is a horrible defender buy yay for his throw back archaic post game.
I'd take Al Jefferson right about now (I mean for a bag of donuts or something)
would you give up our first rounder (if the CBA allowed)? No freakin way.
I don't want him occupying our cap space.
I am not saying that he is not a good player but certainly overrated.
I think he's properly rated
He doesn't make Max money, never has and is essentially 20/10 player
He might get close to max this summer only because of circumstance
No one goes on and on about Al Jefferson, great low post player though
way too many holes in his game and is certainly NOT a two way player.
I don't think we go near him. I hope that is the case.
As do others
Neither is Aldridge-K-Love-Jordan-Monroe-Chandler-Asik etc etc
But they're all getting paid this summer by someone
Only Love and Aldridge get/deserve max money.
I know that you don't like Love but I am ready to pay him. The only thing that I worry about is his health but at least we can insure him ... yay
The only one that truly deserves it is Aldridge
He's proven he makes a difference in winning
And he's the foundational offensive piece
On a winning team in a much tougher conference
Love only has a case based on numbers and market value
He's not a bad player at all, he just doesn't deserve max money
Regardless he's getting paid
For a poster who has called out Melo for years for his playoff failures, did you even bother to double check LA's (9th year in the league) playoff record and performances (horrendous efficiency (TS or FG your choice)) before saying that "He's proven he makes a difference in winning"?
I gave my reason based on those grouping of bigs
Not that I'd pay him that personally, which I clarified with H1AND1
you are back pedaling (which is fine). you seem to be doing this a lot though.
There is no backpedaling and I don't backpedal
I clearly said they are all getting paid
But felt the group of bigs left no choice to go with L.A.
If we're talking Max, I could care less
Don't want Aldridge, we have no shot at Aldridge
I said in the other thread I'm not interested in paying Gasol $20mil/yr
And yet he deserves it over everyone, he just wasn't listed in the current exchange
I'm pretty consistent
Love did nothing but lose in Sota
Jordan lost with Clippers until CP3 showed up
Asik really is non factor
Jefferson has lost majority of his career
Tyson lost a helluva lot of games before arriving in Dallas
Monroe straight up loser
Those were the guys we mentioned for Max or deserving of huge paydays
A few of them aren't getting max regardless but they will be financially compensated nonetheless
