To be the 5th pg?

I wonder if the Lakers will claim him?

I'd think Lin, Price, Clarkson was enough.

But, Byron said he wants another pg.

Going to be interesting to see how the Spurs play this.

The guy was Finals MVP.

But, what kind of player does he project as?

Pippen?

I don't know if he can score at that clip consistently.

Maybe he can...and the system is what keeps his numbers in check.

But like Klay...Gonna be odd seeing them make the max while guys like Duncan and Curry play for sub-12mil.

I wouldn't give either the max. Both are nice players, but I couldn't see building a team with either as the main guy. I see it more with Kawai than with Klay. Klay is an excellent shooter, great at his role, but I'm not building the team to fit him.

KL is no doubt the bestest SF in the NBA right now!

KL is no doubt the bestest SF in the NBA right now!

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Lets look at this honestly....

He's behind Bron and KD....obviously.

He had a great finals.

But, I'm not ready to say Kawhi > Melo based off one year.

We don't know what George will be upon his return.

But, what about the other youngins?

The Bucks have two promising Thundercats that can both play the 3 in Giannis and Parker.

Plus, I think Wiggins is gonna be a stud in a few years.

If/when those guys pan out, where will Leanord rank if he continues to improve?

Will either team have a choice next year?

Somebody will overpay and they will have to match or lose them.

But, I don't see any reason to overspend now.

Sure, it's great for these guys to have peace of mind and to avoid hurt feelings.

But, it's not like they can just leave.

The Warriors/Spurs can still match any deal next summer.

I'd let it ride if I'm the Spurs...not if I'm the Warriors.

They can't risk some team giving Klay a poison pill deal or a frontloaded contract like Parsons.

After not acquiring Love, losing Klay would be a disaster.

 

[Mecca]

Klay reminds me of Allan Houston with a sprinkle of Defense.

Or Kyle Korver.

 

[bksballer89]

He's not a top 5 sf.

Shane Larkin outlook for Knicks

How do you think Shane Larkin is going to fit in on the Knicks roster? Personally I wanna see the young guy get some burn because hes got a lot of explosiveness. I wrote a little more about this on this blog that I guest blog for.

Anthony Davis is straight filthy. 28 pts, 17 rbs, and 9 blks. I said he'd be a beast when he was drafted, saw it coming last year, and now we're here. So pumped to watch this dude play ball.

Did you see Asik's stat line?

12pts, 17rbs and 5 blocks.

Granted it was against the Magic.

But, how in the blue hell are teams gonna score in the paint against them?

Asik is the perfect compliment to Davis.

Some fool in my Fantasy league dropped Asik to pickup Javelle McGee...LMFAO

Whoever he/she is...thank you!!!!

 

[Mecca]

Damn Howard...

Even when you win, you still lose

Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen now

Lip reading some of the vines, it appears Howard said, "I know you." Kobe said, "Try me." Kobe offered a "soft" in there, too.

 

[Mecca]

Did the Lakers and Clippers switch karma?

I hope Randle is okay.

But, that looks bad.

Thank you Davis. I won the blocks stat in fantasy after one game.

 

[bksballer89]

Howard is far from soft

 

[logic]

Thank you Davis. I won the blocks stat in fantasy after one game.

I didn't even realize until now that Asik also had 5 blocks. 14 blocks from the starting front court! Did the Magic even get a shot to the rim?

Elfrid Payton was serving up blocks for New Orleans left and right.
