    I am interested in specifics. What team under the cap doesn't want to tank?

    Jazz are going to beat the Thunder! Gordon Hayward with 37 points on 16 field goal attempts. That's insane.

    damn!

    Gordon Hayward is going OFF tonight!

    35 points on 15 shots.

    He's 12-15 (you read that right), and now is 13-16.

    And has 9-13 FT's.

    11 boards, 7 assists, 2 steals and a block.

    Scored Utahs last 17 points too!

    Come on, son!

    And he lead his team to the win too.

    4. Tuesday's Worst
    Thaddeus Young, Sixers:
    The reigning Eastern Conference player of the week clearly could not see past all the bouquets being tossed his way. Young missed all seven of his shots and didn't score in 22 minutes of a 111-93 rout by the Cavs.

    Yes, Young recorded zero points and 4 rebounds in 22 minutes of play before being yanked in a blow out loss.

    Here's a link to storytellerscontracts.com. The team salaries are listed there. Btw, Philly looks like they're under the cap by $10 M.

    Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

    SI reporting Gary Neal may be on the block.

    A former Spur (so you know he buys into playing defense and team ball), shooting 42% on 3s, making around $3 million.

    Worth a look?

    Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

    OR, maybe he doesn't buy into playing defense and team ball which is why he was traded?

    But yes. The issue with Neal is he doesn't really fit in Mil. However, he would be a great back up to Wes in Portland's system, and I wouldn't mind trading Barton or Claver for his services. The bucks could use a SF.

    Indiana falls to a Horford-less Atl. The NBA is coming back down to earth.

    Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

    So how'd that work out?

    AK-47 stealing the ball from Iggy?

    KG stealing from Curry?

    Ouch. Some win streak records weren't meant to be broken.

    Re: OFFICIAL 2014 Around the NBA thread

    More likely, it was because of cap concerns.

    I agree he would be a very good back-up for Wes. Someone here once called him "Wes Mathews Lite."

    It was a great streak during one of the best road trips in NBA history.

    You can bash it, but it just makes you look insecure and pathetic.
