    Anthony - 30 ppg/8 rpg/ 3 apg with a PER of 23.2 for that series.

    This guy is the worst "defensive stopper" I've seen in years.

    It should. It's the first time since Shaq left that Kobe had a 20+ Game Score in every game of a playoff series. That's fairly surprising to me.

    I know what deal he received. I already posted it in the post you were replying to. Are you intentionally ignoring things, or are you just not bright? (my guess is both)

    Please explain, PapaG, how this MLE is a "cap hit" to the Blazers.

    If the Blazer hit the tax threshold, that money is subject to the luxury tax next year. Seems pretty simple to me.

    Good news. This team is slowly turning into a defensive team. When this happens - they will enter the NBA elite, imho.

    Are you one of those strawman guys? Why are you quoting me saying he's a 'defensive stopper'?

    Which has nothing to do with the "cap". Do you follow the NBA?

    I'm glad you admit you are making up crap just to troll. Thank you.

    I like the signing. Hopefully Matthews stays hungry and becomes a great complementary player to Roy. I have a good feeling that he'll fit in well with Roy and be a Nate-type player, and do well with Rudy's minutes.

    Actually Kobe played better in the WCF versus Phoenix.

    It's an MLE. It's better to have more of his salary this year than any other year. But it's still an MLE.

    And BTW, I thought fams disposed of this fool?
