A fact which I hate, by the way. Any asset should be tradeable, IMO, including RFA rights and bird rights.
Thanks for the reply. This is what I thought, but couldn't find the specifics in the CBA, so thought I would ask. I appreciate it.
This isn't a free agent thing, but do you think the Bucks can get a receipt on their draft pick? https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/4q3bvy/research_into_thon_makers_age_probably_far_older/
How can it be this hard to determine how old someone is? Wouldn't this be considered fraud? They can catch some 30 year old dude who is pretending to be 17, but they can't figure this out?
there's a lot of suggestion that there might simply be a different Thon Maker in that 2010 yearbook. Are these two necessarily the same guy?
Definitely looks like the same guy to me. I don't see any distinguishable difference. The ears are what really does it for me.
Agreed. I was thinking the same as I was cropping the pic. "That's not a high-school kid; that's a MAN, baby!"
Other interesting part of this (as someone in the reddit comments pointed out): the last two significant instances of someone blatantly lying about their age pre-draft--Ilyasova and Jianlian--were also drafted by the Bucks.
No way ny gets durant or dwight imo. They really need a 2 guard and they seem to want noah. Could they end up with Noah and gerald henderson?
I definitely think Noah ends up in NY. It's anyone's guess where Dwight lands. He better be praying Portland loses out on Whiteside because he's looking Milwaukee dead in the face otherwise.
My guess is Eric Gordon and Biyombo. Rose/Gordon/Melo/Porzingas/Biyombo is a solid starting 5. They'd have no bench though.
I think charlotte would be a good fit for dwight too. East is easier to get through, and if they resigned batum, thats a formidable squad in the east. Theyd have to renounce lee and al jeff along with some other manuevering.
Cleveland Indians had a pitcher; I think he was in the league 7 or 8 years before anyone discovered not only was his age off but he had a completely different identity.
What could they get for Millsap? I think that you could keep all 3. 32 minutes a game for each, and all of them can play together. I think Prince will get big minutes for them. Korver, Bazemore, Sefolosha, and a Prince brings you shooting and defense to surround a pick n roll offense based around Schroeder and any 3 of the bigs.
Lance Stephenson's contract was declined. He is a complete wild card of a player, not saying the Blazers should sign him but his skill set would be nice off the bench.
