NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[tlance]

I was never questioning if they got younger though. I was questioning something else.

I am not going to check the work to see if the Cavs are younger.

But the Laker roster is night and day from last year in terms of age.

So while I don’t know the answer, I can tell you that the Lakers aren’t one of the oldest teams in the league anymore. Not even close to it.

So absolutely possible that Lakers are younger than the Cavs.

I wouldn't doubt it. We still have love, brought back Rubio and signed Robin Lopez and Neto,

Except that the Lakers did get considerably younger with just about every signing they made.

signing a bunch of young guys that suck does not help- just skews the average

right.....

now- if you are looking at youth that actually matters and is material to winning- Cavs prob. have the youngest core in the NBA by far.

Doesn’t seem like a very smart move by Hunt

Dude is making 6 mil this year to be a part time running back and he wants a trade? Lol.

Saw this at the store last night @trojanfan12. Yay or nay? Nay for me.

Never seen that before. I only eat beef bologna so, nay for me.

Guards - after losing the first 2 games badly to the Astros- won the last 2 and split the series. Great recovery against maybe the best team in baseball. Huge couple wins.

I guess I don't blame him for asking. But not like he has any leverage.

Yep.....lost when they had the better pitching matchup. Won when we did.

 

[trojanfan12]

wasn't Cousins' deal fully guaranteed (maybe not the last one but one before that)? Murray signed a pretty typical deal, I think, so not sure how out of whack the league has become.

I can agree the first deal of this size should not have gone to watson.

Looked it up. Looks like it was a fully guaranteed 1 year extension for $35 million that apparently saves them $14 million in cap space.

Kirk Cousins signs fully guaranteed $35 million extension with Vikings through 2023 season

The Minnesota Vikings have committed to Kirk Cousins as their starting quarterback through at least the 2023 season.

McKenzie with 8 shut innings. 2 hits, 1 walk, 8 k's. Thatll do it.

The best team in baseball? The Dodgers.

I was talking about his last deal as I mentioned. Thought it was 3 years and $38 mil per (fully guaranteed) at time he signed it.

I'd have gone to Clase but wow would Tito have been killed by Blame the Manager/Coach guy had we lost.

Not saying they are good.

They aren’t.

But I was only talking about age here.

yep....this was solely about average age.

He’s good but RBs are a dime a dozen and the Browns rescued him in the first place.

Right...and will be spending $10 mil per on an elite RB ahead of him. Gonna have to make hard choices with a lot of large extensions coming up and paying a backup RB too much likely wont be a luxury we can afford.

would love to get a solid WR for him or a 2nd or 3rd rounder (which I doubt happens)...otherwise I'd ride out the season with him.

He's a fool for even asking for a trade. 6 mil and half the wear and tear most 6 mil rbs get.

He wants a bigger role though.

Have to respect that.

And honestly? If the Browns can get some assets in return they should consider moving him. They have some pretty solid RB depth behind Chubb anyway. Hunt is a luxury for them.
