Or Michael Jordan was suspended for a year because of gambling and they didn't tell anyone because it would damage the brand, if you believe the rumors.
That was a rumor mill...probably read it on ball don't lie or one of the sports sites around the trade deadline...looked for it and haven't found the link yet. The rumor said Portland made calls about Sanders after Sanders said he was about to return...I think it was early Feb. Olshey doesn't let things leak out generally so I was surprised to read it.
Hmm, I'll take your word for it, but if Olshey is interested that makes feel a bit better about Sanders.
Youre right, he averaged 19.8 ppg in a injury shortened season. And this year he averaged 17ppg, but his per 36 numbers were 20.2. Still substantially more proven and dependable than leonard imo.
Anderson is a career 13/6 guy...27....injury prone..he's going to get overpaid and I hope it's not us
Meyers shoulder might be a question mark but the organization will know what's going on with that...good to see him shooting left handed freethrows after surgery though...seems to have a good work ethic. I'll trust Olshey to know what to do with the Meyers option
Agreed. I'll take the guy who can take tough shots and make them under pressure vs. someone scared by a broken down Paul Pierce.
His first three years in the league make his numbers worse, as most young guys do. Calling him a 13/6 career guy and using that as a deterrent is laughable.
laughter is good medicine...I didn't come up with the stat..hey...you like him and see value, that's your choice...personally I find it funny how he's being valued.
Ryan Anderson seems primed to be a Houston Rocket. Volume three point shooter who plays no defense. Rockets are gonna have some money to spend after they strike out on Durant.
Sounds awful. We don't need MORE 3-point shooting - especially from our front-court. Double-especially when that guy will also be our most expensive player, and doesn't really do anything else. If we're spending big bucks on a player they need to have a skill-set that diversifies the team's skill-set, rather than quadrupling down on the only thing the team currently does.
Sorry but just no.. Leonard is not very athletic for an NBA player. He can't move side to side well at all, it takes him half of the court to get to a sprint, and he can't jump off two feet for shit, which is extremely important for a big man. And I did admit there's a few guys he defends well, because they don't exploit Leonard's lack of foot speed he he has no problem using every ounce of his strength to push on and wack the people he's guarding, which is why he fouls so much.
I might be one of the biggest supporters of Meyers here but VG is absolutely right. Those that think he is athletic is like saying Arnold Schwartseneger is athletic. Just because youre lean and limited on body fat with muscles ripping doesnt mean your athletic. Draymond Green is way more athletic and he looks out of shape most of the time. Meyers has zero side to side movement. With that said, at the right price, I think he serves a purpose on this tea moving forward the next few years.
I'm definitely not one of the biggest supporters of Meyers but I do agree that, for the right price, he can be valuable as a limited minute guy when we have a favorable matchup.
So we are complaining about Meyers athleticism, or who will we have him guard.... But advocating Ryan Anderson? Ohh and we can discount Andersons 1st 3 years in the league since it takes Bigs a while to adjust....What about discounting Meyers 1st 3 years and giving him a bit of a pass for an injury riddled year?
Im not discounting meyers first 4 years. Bigs usually take longer. My issue was saying anderson was a career 13/6 player to try and discredit what he currently is putting up. Hes not the same player he was in his first three years. Leonard still hasnt made the leap. Anderson has. Ive said meyers could make the leap, but he hasnt proven so.
