39 mil in dead cap for next year. Lol

Must be talking about the Eagles......

 

[Sparhawk]

Lmao I was never a big Blake Griffin fan, ever.

In his prime, he was good for 20-8-5 every night with a pretty good TS% and 1.5 stocks.
Injuries simply robbed him of his athletic gifts.

I just know he was a man among boys in college, it’s not every year someone is that dominant.

Just my prediction

I hope you haven't put any money on it.

 

[trojanfan12]

I would not know whether to be livid or impressed

Maybe a bit of both?

Bad situation there

But you got a title so there's that

Whatever happened to that amnesty clause

Detroit needs them an Allan Houston clause right quick

Every sport with a cap should allow one amnesty clause per team.
And they should be tradeable.

I think it would benefit both parties. Clubs would be more risky with deals and it would allow them to clear the books for players who are playing to their deals

Lol no. I just think being around better players will have an effect. Plus I expect him to be playing against a lot of 2nd teams.

Yeah and I think every year all leagues should make an example of one guy. Would be good for the league.

 

[tlance]

curious your thoughts as I almost never see the Wizards. On a local forum there's a guy who still cries about picking Sexton and Garland. Really wanted Avdija and described him as a playmaking stud. Only see box scores, but the guy usually has as many assists as me.

Will Cavs regret passing on him?

Early yet

He is skilled. Has a lot of potentially offensively. I don’t see him ever being a good defender so his value will be tied to him being great offensively.

Definitely could happen. He has a nice theoretical skill set. But I haven’t seen anything yet to make me think that it will happen.

 

[tlance]

sorry, @tlance Meant Okoro, who they took over him. Not Garland. For Garland he just complains about him because too short.

I knew what you meant.

58 percent from the line? That's not good

Thunder went to San Antonio last night and won another game they don’t need to be winning. I sure as hell hope in the 2nd half they figure it out.

The Spurs just ain't that good. Plus, they were missing some players. Kinda hard to tell your team to not win against a team they should beat.

 

[Robotech]

If he isn't cooked he should get an academy award nomination.

Harden's was obvious but at least he was still a good player.... even dogging it.

I think Griffin is going to keep sucking, but I guess it's a low cost, no risk move for the Nets.

Thunder were without players too, Thunder are going to have to come up wirh a season ending concern for SGA I guess.

Put him on the Horford plan of missing games.

are the assists way down because he doesn't pass or he just doesn't have the ball enough or gets it late in clock to make a pass?

Isn't like I was against taking him at time of draft. Just could not understand the angst at this point of not taking him.
