We are not talking about maxing a guy like West out. He is not 25 and looking for the full 5yrs $130mil max. He is 35 and looking for his final contract for 2-4yrs. He can hang it up at any time like Like Kidd did and not hurt the Knicks. Zings will be able to step right in by then after having sat and learned from David West. Y You do see the importance of West to that young Indiana team right? Players prime years are 25-28 I would say but the dog orang drop doesn't come until 32-33 for most. The greats are just as effective until 37-38. Jordan, Kobe, KG, Duncan etc. |

I want Phil to make smart gambles though and for reasons already stated don't think more than 2 years, 6 mil would be smart for West. |

Id much rather target Carroll than Afflalo or West.

KG and Duncan are just exceptions. You have to look at trends not individual cases if you want to play the odds right though. You'll always find a smoker who lives to a long age or a health nut who dies early. |
