    Adams: 2.3 DWS | 1.3 DBPM | 2.1 VORP | 3.3 BLK%
    MyLo: 1.0 DWS | -1.0 DBPM | 0.2 VORP | 1.2 BLK%

    Adams is an emerging offensive talent who is already one of the best defensive bigs in the league.

    This isn't a close comparison.

    Jeremy Lin would've been a huge lift off our bench. He's turned into a very efficient scorer.

    Hindsight you go after Lin over Turner.

    Nice to know even BNM goes off the rails sometimes. "Much Better Defender" is one of the biggest understatements I've heard recently. That being said, I do agree with OB that these types of contracts improves Biebs trade value.

    Some people only look at hindsight to speak.

    Halloween. Lots of moms out there. My hindsight is working well.

    I thought about going the low-brow road, but I knew there'd be a lot of traffic. ;)

    Lin is a streak player, Turner is the superior player long run as he can do more than purely score.

    And that was my point. $41 million for 4 years for Leonard doesn't look so out of whack any more.

    One earned their new deal.

    The other gets $10m to mostly wave a towel.

    You usually do go for the "low brow", or just below it, with all your reach-arounds.

    I kinda feel bad for Nuggets fans. After being up by 8 with the ball with 45 seconds to go, they lose to us.

    For an encore, they were up by 6 with 6 minutes left.... and scored only 3 more points for the rest of the game, losing by 3.

    What's the opposite of Lillard Time? Mudiay Space?

    Lin had 4 steals tonight and he is a good passer. I'd take Lin over Turner in a heartbeat.

    Lin gets a starting role on a losing team. So he got a few steals, Turner is a much better player with a much higher ceiling
    And Biebs (that's how you call him right) hasn't made it to this season yet but when he arrives we'd be that much better
