Downward spiral?
So you're saying he started his NBA career at any height enabling him to change trajectory DOWNward?
Dude has stunk from the get-go and I'm praying stays far, far away from this team.

All this Knicks talk, how much room do they even have?
So they can come pretty close to giving Amare another max after everyone else passes right?
You're right. My point was that Cleve has a few guys eating the majority of their cap (LBJ, Love, Kyrie and Tristan), and they have a bunch of guys on small-money deals. But they did destroy the cap to do it.
NYK would have the same thing going except they won't be able to kill their cap without doing some sign/trades. They'd still need to sign guys to min deals to fill their roster.
Regardless of how you feel about the talent distribution, the money was spread out, at least relative to a 3 max, 9 min model. That was the point I was making. You had players like Mozgov and JR getting 5m, Frye getting 8m, Shumpert getting 10m, etc. on top of 3 max contracts and TT's huge extension. It adds up quickly. Gilbert paid for continuity over adherence to the cap.
If he is really seriously thinking about leaving Charlotte, I hope we are doing our best to line up some salary dumps to get in on that chase.Quote:
BA_Turner: Free agent small forward Nicolas Batum mulling over options, including talking with Lakers, source. He's flying from Paris to US tomorrow.
He is the only high end FA I would feel comfortable throwing big money at.
We have to have a leg up on the Lakers right?
I can't wait for Friday to get here. This should really start hearing up over the next 36 hours.
I'm really looking forward to seeing Anderson and Gordon sign somewhere else. A part of me still fears that Dell is going to bring them both back, even though it's a 99.9% done deal that they're both moving on. Still, when it happens, I'm going to feel so relieved. I wish RA all the best wherever he goes. I couldn't care less about Gordon.
We can't strike out on all the SF!! I just want one that will play. I rank mine like (realistic options)
1. Batum
2. Parsons
3. Bazemore
4. Barnes
5. Crabbe
Other than those I want to grab Dudley and someone else to platoon.

I keep seeing the Crabbe as a SF thing, not sure why.
Crabbe is a guard. He has not shown to this point that he is anything more than a pure scoring guard, and mostly a shooter at that. Think Afflalo, Lamb, Kevin Martin, etc. That's his world. Doesn't rebound, defense is still very suspect. He played SF 17% of the time last year on a team with 2 much smaller starting guards, so Portland clearly felt the same way.
Drafting Hield makes Crabbe and his ridiculous contract-to-be a no-go for us.
Parsons is damaged goods. As much as the pundits talk about Ryno... Parsons has injuries that are worse. And he wants a max deal.
