Ok. Make the list of teams that offered Tristan anything last year, then make the list of teams that wanted to make history by offering a max to a player coming off of a minimum.
I'll wait.







Yep, Whitesides no match for Tristan, and teams don't need centers.

Tell us why though, Cavs gave up 2 #1s for Mozgov and you wrote 50,000 words stating what a great deal it was.

Maybe also tell us why in the last 3 days we've seen :

Drummond 5/130
Whiteside 4/98
Howard 3/70
Mozgov 4/64
Noah 4/72
Horford 4/113

and who else?

Guess there's more to the position/game needed then being great on the perimeter?

dude....JUST AS I SAID- we saw all we needed to see.

Tristan Thompson simply helps your team win more than Whiteside. Just give it up already. Whiteside is on the bench in the playoffs because he cant guard the pick and roll- and then gets hurt. lol. I mean- when a guy cant stay on the court because hes getting barbequed in the pick and roll, and then cant stay on the court because of injury- and then you have another guy that has just averaged a double double in the last two Finals-and you need a bulldozer crossed with a M1 tank to get him off the court- you need nothing more than common sense to see who the guy is that helps your team more.

EASY. Once again- time vindicates. I will take Reigning World Champion and Current NBA consecutive games played leader- and the best big man in the NBA defending small lineups- ANY DAY OF THE WEEK when you are trying to win games in the NBA.


let me know how my ass tastes when the Heat take a big step back next year just like i said they would months ago- and your retort was- RILEY IS WAY SMARTER THAN YOU AND WILL FIGURE IT OUT...

well- im still waiting....all i see is a team that didnt have the cap space to even keep its current main core together- just as i said months ago. As i said- Dwade will never again see a Conference Finals- at least not in Miami.

Still no word how the heat meeting went?

 

[WiggyRuss]

UNBELIEVABLE.

Cavs absolutely do not win the title without this guy- one of the most valuable big men in the league.

how many big men in the league can do that? pshhhhhh.....you can name them on one hand. No way we beat the WArriors without this guy.

Warriors and Kevin Durant: A bad idea and an invitation to indigestion - Mark Purdy

I think I disagree with almost every single point

Not me.

On paper....it certainly looks like they should be unbeatable and win 3-4 straight titles but you never know how players would react to a diminished role when it comes to less ppg and how they'll interact.

 

[ChrisWebber]

Not sure how I feel about Barnes when the real need is a point guard because Collison will be suspended.

So did I.

The ending to Castaway always gets me.....I'm a sucker for a love story.

Not unbeatable but a lot better than any other alternative

I truly think they are going to use him to get a PG.

This ain't NBAY2K or whatever the fuck they call it.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

So, it's not just down to 2.
Heat somehow is a finalist according to inside hoops.com sources.
Tweet is up for those that like to paste.

 

[Bolts]

@Bolts any ideas?

Hearing Kings rescinded Curry to sign another vet. Nothing done yet, but if they sign him, Kings Fans are going to be all over the board.

I think I know now.

Apparently pretty fucking well..

I've lost some respect for KD.....no need to drag this into the 4th of July, a national holiday. Make a decision and get it over with. He knows......he's just delaying it.

I don't mind waiting, but I wouldn't make my decision on the 4th of July. Do it the next day.

This is only the 3rd day of free agency lol. Considering he just concluded his final meeting this evening, the fact that he is deciding tomorrow is actually pretty impressive

 

[DJ Fieri]

Challenged you to a bet on the Yank-s Sox on MOnday.

Almost a lock now that Rudy Gay is traded, probably for a PG.

Hmm
