Black is under contract for around 800K and I like what I have seen from him so far.
I think everything you said is true.
that mental toughness that borders on illness as you said allowed Kobe and Jordan to be who they are- who are both among the greatest of all time
LeBron does not have it on that level no doubt- but no one would question that LeBron is definitely the best teammate of the 3 and raises other guys games the most.
I mean- as far as accomplishments go- the fact that the Cavs made the 2007-2008 (i think it was that year...eitehr that or 06-07)- Finals- with his best supporting players being Delonte West, Z, a raw Varejao, and a rookie Boobie Gibson.....that team won a ton of games and probably had the worst overall roster ofa any team in Finals history.
Yeah, I'd love to see the Lakers get Mudiay. If the Lakers get the #1 pick, I think I'd rather see them take Mudiay over Okafor and then go after Monroe or Marc Gasol in FA.
Agree. That's why I've always said that the Lebron/Kobe and Lebron/MJ comparisons don't work. Lebron/Magic is much more apples to apples than the other 2. I've always said that Lebron is a bigger, more athletic version of Magic.
If the Lakers get a top pick, get Randle back, get Kobe healthy- and sign 2 very good free agents- they could compete in the West for a middle playoff spot probably-
the thing that is tough is relying on 2 rookies who would both be 21 years old or younger.
realistically say they sign Monroe and a good point- which they need. What position does this Mudiay guy play?
I really paid close attention to the college game the last few seasons when the Cavs had a huge interest there- but not so much this season becuse of how crazy the Cavs level of interest, notoriety etc. has been.
ohh ok- so Mudiay plays point
so lets see- after the draft what do they look for assumign they draft this Mudiay guy
PG- Mudiay
SG- Kobe
SF-?
PF- Randle
C- Hill
significant bench players- only Nick Young-SG
take them or give them away bench guys- Sacre-C, Kelly- PF
you DEFINITELY need a couple good wing players- MOST importantly a SF....
so- who are the possible options out there for a starting big man, and a starting SF- because it would be nice to push Randle or Hill to the bench and add a big time quality big man
Thad Young is a natural SF who has been forced to play PF throughout his career.
I have always been a fan of his game.
Would you take him over Harris?
I think Thad would be easier to get.
