How? And why? are my first thoughts.

Noel's stats scream glorified bench player. How does he garner a $100 million salary?

Same reason some moron paid tristan thompson $80m - some owners/GMs are just that dumb!

To be fair, for the Cavs, TT is worth that money. He is essentially the Cavs AC Green from the Showtime Lakers. In his own way, he's as, if not more important, to their success as anyone on that team not named Lebron. He does all of the "dirty work."

He's not worth that money to any other team in the league, but to the Cavs he's worth every penny.

Jordan's bald head > LeBron's hairplugs.

Same as some team paying Mozgov 4 years 64 mill. Teams get desperate. Nothing against the lakers I just thought that was a very bad signing.

It happens on every team. I remember when my Bulls signed Ben Wallace.

What about Knicks signing Noah. LOL 4 years 72 mill. Talk about a bad contract.

would've felt much better with 4 years with a team option after the 2nd...

So I watches Jalen Rose's scripted show on ESPN, Jalen vs Everybody. It was...surprisingly decent. It's sort of a like a budget version Curb Your Enthusiasm. The bits with Tim Duncan and Kobe Bryant were legit funny.

Yeah, I happened to catch it and was surprised how much it had me laughing.

I just read that it was pilot that didn't get picked up by the major networks so ESPN ran it anyway. That's a bit of a bummer. I wouldn't mind seeing more of it.

Didn't know that. ESPN should run with it. Worth a try for a network losing subscribers by the day.

“Obviously if Chris was playing healthy it’s a different story in the Eastern Conference with us. We probably go through Cleveland. Right through them. We probably beat them. We really do. I think we had enough tools to get it done. Can you image if Chris was healthy. Not just with Hassan but with Goran, Dion and then JJ. Oh my God. If you put a healthy Chris Bosh with all of them, that’s scary team against Cleveland.” - Alonzo Mourning
