$127m -- Why is LA worth that?

If LA could play Terrance Jones and Asik every playoff series, he would be MVP. He struggles against physical PFs and drifts from the block. He's not worth anything near a max deal in this era of the luxury tax.

 

Durant is struggling against the Spurs. He's not worth a max deal, either.

 

Nowitski is the PF LaMarcus wishes he could be in his dreams. Someone who makes a living from the outside. But Nowitski's eFG% is 10% higher, which is a huge gap. Dirk is still better than LMA. And there is no comparison between Anthony Davis and LA on the defensive end. And I'll take 21 points on 52% shooting over 23 points on 46% shooting.

LA is a volume shooter and an average defender. The only thing remarkable about him is that he's really good at getting his shot off. He gets hot sometimes, but it's a low percentage shot in the long run.

 

why'd you change your statements and go to this?

Asik isn't physical? News to me and probably everyone else too.
I mean he is a center after all, and way more physical... especially compared to Splitter...
Spurs are a 100x better team than the rockets. If that's what your comparison is then Durant isn't worth a max deal either...lol..
But no the Spurs are playing team defense against Durant, and the team defense is holding him down.
Just like Team defense held down Aldridge.

But that wasn't the statement you originally said.
Love and AD aren't in Aldridge's zip code because neither of them have one.. made it to the playoffs, and two are injury prone which causes them to miss a considerable amount of time.

Have to be on the court to be considered the best. Aldridge is better than both AD and Love because he's on the court.

 

MVP's get max deals. I forget, when did LA win the MVP?

 

if Duncan is too old @ 38.. Then Dirk has to be as well at 35.
AD has a chance to be better than Aldridge, but he has to be on the court to do so.
out of a total of 164 games played AD has missed only played in 131 if my math is correct?
a lot of time missed in two years.

 

Didn't Amare Staudamire get a max deal?

Knicks officials said Monday they intend to sign Stoudemire to a contract later this week, after the free-agent moratorium period ends. Stoudemire's agent, Happy Walters, said the deal is for the maximum allowed, which would be an estimated $99.7 million over five years.

 

It's not my money. Pay the man.

 

Yeah, and then he immediately turned into a shit sandwich. Do you think the Knicks are still happy with that deal?

 

Probabally not. But the Suns let him walk because they knew his knee's were shot. But i'm not going to look for that article.

James Harden?
Dwight Howard?
Steve Francis?
Russel Westbrook?
they all signed max deals didn't they?

 

Durant got his max deal before he was MVP. Tell me you were joking. Do I need to remind you again that how quickly the NBA gets a faxed offer doesn't matter, so long as it's withing the 24-hour window?

 

The only other player in the league taking as many mid range jumpers right is Dirk Nowitski, and he's one of the best in league history at that shot.

For the 2013-2014 season, 41.5% LA's shots were 16 feet (but within the 3pt line). That was his most common shot. He's next most common shot was 10-16 feet. He shot 44% and 39% on those shots.

Dirk shot 49% and 52% from those ranges, but also shot 40% from 3pt range (which is like shooting 60% from 2) .Terry Stotts needs to STOP trying to use LaMarcus like he's Dirk Nowitski.

 

Yup, to go along with their max egos.

 

Dirk is 36 years old, and he still was the best player on his team, and made $22m this year.

The Pant-Shit posts are piling up early this summer.

 

... max deals are given out all the time to players who arent even top 20 players. LMA is a max player and to say otherwise is just rediculous.

ego's weren't apart of the equation.

repped for doing the work for me.

 

I'm sure that was discussed prior to Stotts getting his contract extension.

"Hey Terry, you need to use LMA this other way. Other than that, thanks for the 54 wins and playoffs series win!"

 

I wouldn't bet on it. How Terry had used LA has propelled him to career years.
