    I am not sure that is a big overpay -- have you seen his stats .. now that is for a bad team . It might be a slight overpay but this might be in the same vein as when the Blazers traded for Deni

    Jesus, the Lakers get Mark Williams?? He’s very good and very young. The Lakers’ future is bright.

    Not according to the “Draft Experts” on here. FAMS, it just takes about 10 games of advanced scouting to shut these kids down. The REAL ones will get there’s… but the pretenders get figured out. That’s why I’ve been so impressed with Scoot’s turnaround.

    Too much talent to tank. When Scoot plays better, we play better. You want to hold him out while he’s learning so much?

    You new to this? The OVERWHELMING majority of trades you don’t hear about until they happen. The ones rumored by the experts rarely happen.

    Mmmmm, I don’t know FAMS. This young big man is filling a massive need for them and can help if he stays healthy. He definitely is going too help them more than the crap they gave up.

    Mark is good. 27.56 PER. 4th best in the NBA. And he’s 23. Not sure why Hornets traded him. Just dumb I guess.

    A move is certainly still possible, just looks like all the lanes are drying up, especially for Grant.

    All the teams were were said to be talking with have gone different directions and made other moves.

    Looks like Cronin missed out on moving some players. Sounds like he decided on not moving Williams and whatever small amount of rumors there are seem to point to staying pat at the deadline.

    When has leverage ever stopped a player from getting paid? Every off-season we see players get signed for bloated deals with no competition. Check Jerami Grant.

    Health has been a major concern in his young career. But when he plays, he's been very good.

    He's played in 40% of his games.

    It's like they paid more for a lesser timelord.

    They paid more for a lesser timelord. Played 40% of games so far.

    It's an overpay. Pay attention, stop making it so easy for me to be right all the time.

    I hadn't considered that... Okay... That might be alright. AAEC.

    We should be able to add something with one of those contracts... At least, there's a chance...
