    Watching him in the playoffs I was very impressed with his D.

    Sorry, but Martin destroys Thompson in virtually every advanced stat, even in his second season when he played significantly less time than Thompson. He shot a much better percentage from the field, he got to the line more, he rebounded more, and he even had an identical defensive rating with Klay. The guy was efficient, and if you put 22 year old KMart on your team with Curry, he puts up 18-20 ppg and he does it at a much more efficient rate than Thompson. Look at those advanced stats though.

    Martin:

    Better PER
    Better eFG%
    Better rebound %
    Better offensive rating
    Higher win share.

    The list goes on and on.

    They most likely will, unless they do more stupid 4 year, slightly over priced deals for aging vets like Calderon, to try to make one more half assed run. And, it also depends on what happens with Dwight next offseason.

    Dwight need to hold a press conference and bring 5 hats, then put one on of the team he chose #NationalLetterOfIntentDay

    Almost wish this was, "The Decision II". At least we would get a final answer. Where is @howiemandel "Deal or No Deal."

    Watching this car crash unfold must feel like another championship to LeBron James. We might not even talk about The Decision after this

    That's what really doesn't make any sense to me. Why fuck up the cap space that far down the road?

    I get the feeling Dwight is going to LA to say "fire D'antoni, hire Phil Jax in some capacity, I'll stay"

    Yeah, I don't get who they're bidding against for Calderon.

    Was thinking the same. Fire him, I'm in. Though I don't understand why he prefers a back to the basket post game over PnR. He seems like an ideal PnR C, and he doesn't really like it.

    And Elton Brand was the Hot Rod Williams of Karl Malones.

    Darius Miles redux? Although at least Cuban didn't massively overpay, like PA did.

    I was thinking Brand was the Hot Plate Williams of Charles Barkleys, but yours is good too.

    "In other NBA news, I'm hearing that Paul Millsap is in serious talks with the Atlanta Hawks. Trying to confirm and get terms."

    - Alex Kennedy

    I can't figure out what the hell the Hawks are trying to do... at first it looked like they were going to make a run at Dwight, then they looked like they were going to blow it all up, and now it just looks like their building towards mediocrity...

    Yet one more example of why advanced stats are considered a very small part of evaluating talent.

    Yeah, I actually prefer Millsap to Smith as well... I'm just confused by their overall direction. Even though Millsap would be an improvement over Smith, it doesn't really move the needle for them at all.
