That’s precisely the empty calories case in point about LMA. Tremendous stats, but mostly on Blazer teams that were at best perpetual first round cannon fodder.
It’s why I also distinguished Booker and Murray, who have made deep playoff runs.
Never been myself but know a few colleagues who work over there in banking and have a friend who is a Stewerdess for Emirates and they love it. If you have money Dubai is a great place to be for a few years. Clean, safe, great weather/beaches, shopping, restaurants etc. my understanding is most tourist hotels, private beach/social clubs aren’t as strict with regards to Sharia Law. As long as Davis isn’t out drunk holding his boyfriends hand in public he should be fine

No. He was better and more impactful. The stats bear that out. That he didn't carry the Blazers to a le means nothing. Murray isn't the best player on his team, and Booker was had two All-Stars with him. Aldridge was most hurt by folks overrating Lillard, whose reputation to fat and happy off unearned good will. Truth be told, there are tiers of stars, and some players can not be franchise player while still being great. Calling that "empty calories" is really reductive. Aldridge has really good impact stats. He wasn't a guy who hard great box score numbers while his team performed better when he was on the bench.
It'd be like calling Wemby overrated because the Spurs won the same number of games with him than before him. Some folks try to pull this, and it's obviously wrong. It's wrong here too.
Jamal Murray just signed a four year extension at max money. 4yr/208mm. Nuggets are really digging a hole for theirselves but he had all the leverage. He is a solid player but I’m really starting to see how good Jokic makes others around him versus how good the supporting cast of AG/MPJ/Murray actually are.
Also, Dejounte Murray’s recent extension has to be one of the best deals in the NBA by comparison.
AJ Griffith is reportedly ready to "leave basketball". He was excited for a fresh start since he was traded from the Hawks to the Rockets but it looks like all parties are ready to move on.
I don't understand why he would want to walk away. I'm sure it's depressing that he had a bad year and that his path to playing time looks difficult but he can draw a few more paychecks, especially from contenders looking for inexpensive reclamation projects. Must be nice to be able to walk away from a few extra millions.
He had another year guaranteed too damn wonder how that works. Between him and his dad they took home like 32mm guaranteed for a few years work lol
There was some weirdness around him in his draft year. At ude? He fell probably further than he should have as a legacy. They’re usually pretty good bets to make it in the NBA. Maybe some mental health issues? Maybe Houston told him his year 4 option wouldn’t be picked up before the season? I’d still collect that year 3 check, though.
IIRC AJ Griffin and his dad, recent NBA coach Adrian Griffin, are hardcore, very vocal, and very off-putting Christians, like, "Going to a Beyonce concert is consorting with the devil" sorts of people.
Sounds like he got traded to the wrong Texas team in Houston lol
Maybe the dumbest thing I've ever seen on the internet, and that's saying a lot:
Wow. Just WOW!Maybe the dumbest thing I've ever seen on the internet, and that's saying a lot:
This is obviously stupid, but I love that in this bizarro world of stupidity, Zach Collins refuses to give up his number to Lebron.Maybe the dumbest thing I've ever seen on the internet, and that's saying a lot:
Spurs say "No", obviously - Sochan is untouchable.
But Vassell had to lol
Stupid as may seem, this shows teams would potentially trade their best player for Wemby (in the exception perhaps of Jokic and Giannis). And it’s still hasn’t settled after a year already that Spurs has him.Maybe the dumbest thing I've ever seen on the internet, and that's saying a lot:
Of course they would trade old ass Lebron and overrated Reaves for Wemby, who wouldn't?
Cocaine's a uva drug...
haha and that 26 FRP is doing a lot of heavy lifting here lol plus it would be worthless in this scenario with getting Wemby
Bron woud retire in like 1 year so it's Hollywood Honky Tonk plus an expiring DLo and a first for Wemby + Sochan lol
But the real deal breaker is no Bronny tbh imho. Lakers know what they have I suppose
Koloko would be good compe ion for Bassey’s spot tbh
Another year another random 7 footer the Lakers sign to eat minutes at C that will either be traded at the deadline or won't return next season
