Either that, or people really want me to off myself.

I'm not overlooking it. He has thin lower extremities and he's played a lot of games. I'm not high on him, I would take Westbrook over him.
Interesting.
Yeah that makes sense, esp given that most teams are going to have more space than they know what to do with the next couple years with old contract sizes vs. new deal cap space.
your response was reasonably well thought out and delivered. pretty much the exact opposite of Deandre Jordan.
I don't think they'll do that but the threat doesn't surprise me. Issues or not, has there ever been an NBA player as good as Lawson that was flat out waived?
Depends on how you want to define the Sprewell fiasco, Spree was coming off an All-Star season when he choked PJ Carlisemo during a practice. Not perfectly analogous since GSW tried to terminate his contract and avoid paying him.
That's a good one though. Sprewell wasn't a better player necessarily but he was definitely more highly regarded.
Sprewell played in 4 more all star games and was a scoring machine. Had great assists per game for a dominant scorer also. At least until he felt disrespected about contract offers at the end. I suppose Lawson could catch fire and be a fixture going forward in all star games.
Sprewell was great in the same way Monta Ellis is great. Awesome counting stats, very average advanced stats.
He was also great in NBA Live '95. No idea on Ellis, never really watched him play. I was just saying Sprewell was a great player, not an average one. I don't know about whether he was a stat, uh, counting guy or not, but he played good D and scored a lot, even on those odd Knicks teams with Houston and freakin' Charlie Ward at point (had a neighbor in college from New York, so watched Knicks games a lot). And he was great on the Wolves, would have liked to see him stay a few more years.
I think they will continue to erode depth and ultimately the team won't really be that desirable. They will definitely cheap out at some point, which will be glorious.
Not looking to be on the same time as Tommy with personnel moves here, but agreed that seems crazy high. I know salary cap spike, etc. but he isn't really a cornerstone guy, is he?
He's a young guy who can score and rebound.
Lawson can go. He isn't even showing up to his own basketball camp.

John missed a step.
Did he do something other than make the observation that a significantly worse player is making the same amount of money as him do to recent salary inflation?oof. Doesn't get too much dumber than that.John Wall.
I spent five minutes searching twitter after seeing these posts, thinking he must have killed six hookers or something.Did he do something other than make the observation that a significantly worse player is making the same amount of money as him do to recent salary inflation?oof. Doesn't get too much dumber than that.John Wall.
Like lead his team to postseason success, for example? No, he didn't.Did he do something other than make the observation that a significantly worse player is making the same amount of money as him do to recent salary inflation?oof. Doesn't get too much dumber than that.John Wall.
Some Laker fans are impatient. Case in point, a buddy of mine texted me the other day "I'm calling it now - Russell is a bust who got overrated during the draft process and we were idiots to pass on Okafor".On the MSG Network the Knick announcers said the Lakers fans were booing D'Angelo Russell during their game.
He's far and away the best player on one of only two teams to win a playoff series each of the last two seasons. That's not postseason success? Sounds like postseason success to me. Are you saying the only thing that counts as postseason success is winning a title? If so, that sounds a lot like the moronic RINGGGZZZZ!!!! argument spouted by the Baylesses of the world and echoed by the league's dumbest and most annoying fans and mocked by everyone else. Is that your position?Like lead his team to postseason success, for example? No, he didn't.Did he do something other than make the observation that a significantly worse player is making the same amount of money as him do to recent salary inflation?oof. Doesn't get too much dumber than that.John Wall.
He also didn't note how eerily similar his yearly contractual earnings have been to Lebron's since signing that deal.
It's the NBA: everyone from the pretty good to the great make the same on the floor. You want to spit on your underlings? Achieve something, then make ten times more than they do as residuals off the accolades.
Our Zinger looks like he maybe, sort of, might be a keeper...or at least not a Darko
