Quad- they're both stiffs. We're fighting over stiffs. That's what we're reduced to, and unfortunately, we have a spot in the starting rotation that needs to be filled by one of these stiffs. Coming off the bench? Not a big deal. Starting on a championship aspirant? Bad news.
Each player has his champions on this board. Well, only one or two people like Reggie Evans. Przybilla looks a mess. Plenty of question marks.
Our big three look pretty tight. After that, our bench is decaying slowly. What fun.
Follows: "waa-waa-waa" music.
As far as Evans go, he's a phenomenol rebounder. No one can really dispute that. But his so limited otherwise, that I do not think he's worth more than $2M.
I don't really get the Przybilla hate though. He averaged 7 rebounds and over 2 blocks in 20-something minutes a game. You act like those are bad stats. They dominate Rasho or Nazr's stats.
I have no idea. I'm not a big Scola fan at this point, but so long as we're talking dogs and near-dogs, we might as well enter him in the conversation.
Except we overpaid Oberto. Bad signing. Too much money. So Scola's likely overpriced at 4M. Just that some of the lords of the boards who think a guy like Reggie Evans is worth 5M+ per year, then snipe at him. Doesn't make much sense.
He doesn't really fill a need. Spurs are looking for a center, an athletic forward and a backup point. $4M wasted on a player that doesn't fill one of those needs doesn't make sense.
LJ never said to give Evans the whole MLE.
Let me own you once and for all.Yeah, because Reggie Evans isn't a demented fouling orc who'll give you a foul per game for every million you pay him?
Fouls Per 48
Fabricio Oberto - 8.7
Nazr Mohammed - 7.7
Rasho Nesterovic - 6.6
Luis Scola - 6.3
Reggie Evans -5.8
Apology Accepted.
Who's LJ?
Sorry, timvp.
What the ? Because Reggie Evans does anything besides foul the crap out of people? Oh, I know he's a WONDERFUL rebounder. I APOLOGIZE OH GOD OF REGGIE EVANS LOVE.
I'm sold. Let's buy him. Whatever it takes.
I thought the idea was getting some talent on the team.
You're the Scola lover who keeps saying Evans fouls too much.
Wrong again, it seems.
He does lead the league in sacgrabs per 48.
Yeah, I was wrong that Scola isn't the pristine Prince of parquet perfection.
The overall point is, we're talking about barely adequate players, here. Reggie Evans is piss poor in most areas of playing basketball. Przybilla seems a better option on most accounts, but is terribly flawed as well.
But when we're talking about throwing money in the direction of a single one of these players, why are we marking someone the likes of Reggie Evans as highly better than Scola? It's senseless.
I understand the team has lost all interest in him. That's fine - I don't really care. It just feels like our options are pretty strangulated at this point.
As long as he rebounds all is forgiven.
Przybilla recorded a 350 the first time he took the SAT.
nutsac grabber > illiterate
I wonder why there's so much better a market for Przybilla than there is Evans. Are the pundits and the GMs out there missing something?
Centers are always overpaid.
Always.
I did have questions about Joel's IQ.
Whattt was Jeffries SAT score?
Because they're more effective, right?
He went to the same college as Mark Cuban so it couldn't be that high . . .
Przybilla is a 7' center. Evans is a 6'8 (that's giving it to him) rebounder.
So it depends on team needs and how much you want to pay.
Przybilla will probably get over the MLE. Evans should get around half of it, unless the Knicks throw money at him.
I guess. I don't now why if you are seven-feet and can chew gum you get $40M in this league.
But it's always been that way. Power forwards and shooting guards are usually the two cheapest positions to find players.
True.
If Scola was a seven-footer and putting up the same exact stats, he'd be worth $6M a year.
Just the way it is.
I have to add the Wolves to that, considering their recent contracts.
He's talented. Tim plays all the time with Horry on the floor. I'd rather have talented players than "the best we can get" at a position of need. Look at Miami who's their 3rd best player? Alonzo Mourning. If you were building that team you wouldn't make it a point to go out and acquire Zo. You already have a center. Talent and depth wins imo. Zo made big contributions to help them win that le. They're a little weak at a couple of individual postiions but have a lot of overall talent. Their 5 best players are a sg, two pfs (Walker and Haslem), and two centers.
