You asked a question. I answered it.

Now THAT makes it a damn good deal for the Suns. Not bad for him either.

They really don't need Allen to shoot 3's...Mobley will be that guy hopefully. He has a sweet stroke, that being said, Allen has improved his jumpshot. He has a mid-range shot he just needs to be more consistent.

The NBA is a three point game now but that isn’t always realized in everybody taking 3s. Allen can help 3 pt production by continuing the development of his post up game so that he forces the defense to account for him with a double. Then he progresses as a passer out of the post to answer the defense’s tactic. This should result in better looks for the guys on the roster to get 3s. That’s how a guy can improve a teams 3 pt game without being a knock down 3 pt shooter.

That's a lot better than 4 fully guaranteed years.

Right and looking at the other side of it…he is a great perimeter defender/pick n roll defender at his size which is always a huge plus

Kemba and Fournier in the same back court? Thibs is going to wear out the Tums this season. Those two guys are straight dog shit as defenders like not even average. Straight dog shit. And we all know how Thibs focuses on defense. This is the Knicks doing Knicks things and asking for crisis in their stuff.

Great points......idea from some you need to be able to shoot 3s to be a modern big is totally false. Need to be able to play pick and roll defense and offense, willing passer, play D on the perimeter and not be a black hole down low and/or complain when you don't get your touches. Of course, it helps if you can make 3s.

I really don’t care.

But you are going to get yourself in trouble saying stuff like that.

Joke or not.

Trying to help you out.

I really don’t care either. This is a message board. Live and let live.

 

[bksballer89]

Not according to Shane and BKS....LOL

Huh

33 is old?

In the NBA?

Yes, 33 is getting up there.

Definitely well past athletic peak. How close a player can be peak production depends on fitness level and skill set.

If we are talking about Westbrook I’ll just say that if we are discussing the best athlete in the history of the league he has to be in the conversation.

James Jones baby!

Ellington won't have an issue IMO. And Melo revived his career in Portland.

 

[thunderc]

Man talk about a guy that lost some money

 

[Shanemansj13]

I'm assuming it was for the minimum considering he could miss the entire season.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I'm assuming it was for the minimum considering he could miss the entire season.

Why even bother signing him?

 

[bksballer89]

He's expected back in January but yeah hope his contract was minimum

 

[Shanemansj13]

Why not? If he does come back he could provide something off the bench. It's a win-win...Miami has nothing to lose here, only gain
