    he put up 12.2/2.6.2.7 last year, so the 1:1 bet is skewed in your favor mags

    the 16.5 is going to be close me thinks though

    exactly Brain! I'm just curious if some of these posters that think Roy is all washed up puts their money where their mouth is. Obviously my 16.5 points and 80% of games played would make them take the bet in a heartbeat!

    it's the 30mpg for 52 games that I think is unsustainable, but if he pulls it off with 16.5ppg, then it's worth my 100 jermajesties. If he does what I think he'll do, my little boy gets $50 towards his John Deere stock fund. :)

    I'm in for $50 Mags. I win I get $25, U win you get the $50. BTW what was the answer if he did end up going to another team? combine the stats or bets off?

    I have no doubt that Roy will fail to reach those milestones (especially since they are "AND" props and not "OR") I just have a "moral" objection to such crappy odds. :wink:

    Well if it's 100% likely it will not happen, then a $50 investment for a 50% return is pretty damn good. Don't you agree?

    I'm in. I like Brian's logic. How much would I pay to ensure that Roy had that kind of production for the season? Yeah, $100 sounds reasonable. Plus, I already feel like I owe you for springing for the Game 3 tix, so this actually feels pretty even to me.

    Now, what's your Greg Oden sucker bet? :)

    Get on the other thread and make a free one. I think this positive energy will pan out for our team. I love positive energy. Oh and P.S., I will probably take all winnings and give a ticket to some lucky smuck in this forum. I'm just putting my money where my mouth is.

    Oops so you are in for $100 right?

    Eh what the hell. Put me in for $100.

    It's a win-win situation, if Brandon averages higher then those numbers (which I honestly hope for) its great for the team. If he doesn't, well at least it was good for me. You're looking at a big payout if he does great Mags!

    Roy was washed up and atrocious last year, but he still was handed playing time by Nate because of what he used to be years ago instead of being played minutes based off what he can provide now. Roy bitched to get shots so he could get his 12+ PPG. Roy could easily play like shit all season, hurt the team every time he's on the court, and put up 12ppg again. That is what some of us sadly expect from Roy and fear as then his presence would prevent this team from having success. Ricky Davis scored 20ppg for a season but that doesn't mean he was a valuable NBA player.

    I'd put money down that Roy has a crappy PER, or a crappy FG% like he did last season. But I'm not going to bet against him having a scoring output that he can obtain even when playing like shit.

    So maybe adding he must shoot 43% or higher too? Or maybe if the team must finish in the top 5 seeds in the west? I can add either one of them.
