Wow. So the Cavs passed on a center coming off an injury to take an inferior forward coming off an injury and then sign another center with 2 blown knees?

Better than Monta. Also 10 times cheaper.

Mason Plumlee went 9-11 from the charity stripe today.
And, um, 7-23 from the field. Oh well, you can't win them all.

I like how Kidd is already shortening his rotation. According to the box score, only 6 players got PT.

This MIke Brown interview has been great lol
He's trying to play off the ball and set people up but no one is making shots

Cuban needs to not be a prick and trade Dirk to a contender. He doesn't deserve to have potentially the last 4 years of his career be complete shit.

You must be joking. Nick Young is already in Dantoni's dog house and he hasn't even played a single minute for The Lakers. Young takes Kobe-esque shots with great inefficiency. lol At least Monta can get to the basket at will.
ak47 gets to pick from the entire country of Russia for his one woman allowance

Nick Young - 1411 minutes, 1.4 Offensive Win Shares
Monta Ellis - 3076 minutes, 1.2 Offensive Win Shares
You mean aside from the fact that he was more efficient offensively (slightly) than Monta every season except Young's rookie season?

interestingly, they have the exact same career efg%, TS%, and ORtg.
Of course, only because of Ellis' single fluke year. And despite that, Young still has a higher OWS/48 average because of less TOs and usage.
Basically, Nick Young is Monta Ellis who passes less and doesn't handle the ball as much.

I am way too hyped about our first summer league game. Go Zeller! Fuck the doubters! And show your stuff MKG. There's no one who can stop you driving to the rim, do it all game long.
Yeah I noticed that too, lol.
I mean, both are terrible players but Young is being paid $900K instead of $30M. I think I can live with that.

Nick actually passed the ball and tried on defense last year.
Plus Doug couldn't break his soul.

I think he'll actually try this year. Players know that they get paid under Antoni and he's in LA.
That might get in the way of the tank though.

If it's sad rooting for only the second teenager with multiple 25 and 12 games then I'm guilty as charged.
Lebron is the other one

I've always really liked pick up style games. I don't post about it, but I get epically hyped for the NC Pro-Am games every year.

that's almost in line with his usual performances what with his awful 49% true shooting percentage last year

Dude was on Max & Marcellus talking about how he's ready to make LA forget Dwight.
Max Kellerman was gasing him up.

statistically speaking, doing well in summer league means nothing in terms of predictive power.
However, doing poorly in summer league is correlated with being bad in the NBA.
Coach peace? Anyone mentioned that?
Yeah I liked what someone on TV said earlier, something along the lines of summer league can separate the people who have a shot in the NBA and those that don't but it doesn't really tell you if those that do deserve a shot will be anything more then hot garbage, no matter how well they did.
He's just trying to scare off the other teams. Pretty sure he won't play in China.
Yeah, could be the defensive guard that we really need

i want to see some splits on this
like, what's the rate of guys who were good in college, were considered blue-chip nba talents and did well in summer league that flamed out in the league. jonny flynn is maybe the only guy i can think of but it's arguable to say he was good in college since he was inefficient and turned it over a lot on top of being undersized.
Didn't get to see it last year but any notable players disappoint during summer league, who then went on to reflect that in the regular season?

hard to say but supposedly he has been talking to team reps there for weeks.
I think there's a chance he does it if he goes unclaimed.
however,if he's claimed, no way he retires and gives up $7.7 million.
Can you think of any examples not injury related?
