Dwight Jaynes: Interview with Neil Olshey

I saw this several times to. LA does this frequently as well, which cuts into his rebounding numbers. Leonard boxes out fairy well, preventing his man from getting the board and allowing TRob to pull one down.

Personally, I would prefere him to be the aggressor and fight for that rebound, but thats just not him......for now at least.

 

It sure looked like NO made moves this summer that (on paper) increased the talent level of the team and at the same time increased his trade assets and his flexibility - lots of moveable parts and no long-term salary commitments.

He could have gone after players that were bigger "names" and potentially more talent/impact, but a large contract for a vet that has an off season makes them hard to move. Flexibility seems to be why NO didn't go after an Asik trade, or sign guys like Mayo or Kaman.

 

Yep and looking at the contracts; we have a shit ton coming off the books in 2 years. 15.8 mil is guaranteed in the 2015/16 season. We will have a lot of expirings and a lot of young talent.
