It's odd seeing the OKC Thunder tied for 13th place in the Western conference. They played 2 of the top teams in the Western Conference to start, but they need Durant back if they want a decent seed in the playoffs. bi-polar westbrook can't do it by himself.

Conversely, Rockets in dat 1 seed position. we're going wire to wire as the 1 seed book it!


lol jk

Well it looks like for 6+ weeks it's an Ibaka led team? Did we get official time out for Westbrook?

Rockets have a few good tests next week. Heat/Spurs coming up.

When wouldn't you be ok with it?

Wait...

17.5 per?? That is a bit much and I think Klay is worth 15 million per.


Wait.. 4 year extension right...

So, the 3 million he was due to earn THIS year is replaced by 14 million, then he gets 14 million for four additional years? Dat right?

He should hook up his agent. He makes more than Steph!

How fucking loaded are you to be casually dropping a few grand a game?

Not as loaded as I want to be, but once you win a couple games you're basically playing with the house's money at that point.

Ha! If I was in Vegas during last season, the Heat would have probably cost me a nice amount, although me talking shit and making predictions is different than me actually putting money on a game.

You got any tips for this weekend's NBA schedule? I can't bet the amounts you do, but I wouldn't mind making a little side change. PEACE.

I don't see any odds for those yet, so can't really make any calls on those. BTW, any calls I make are for entertainment purposes, you will lose money if you follow any of them, etc.

No but that's his market value right now. There aren't too many talented two guards in the L right now. Klay is a young top tier 3 point shooter , good defensive player with no injury concerns ( knock on wood). Couple that with the fact that the L just signed a very lucrative broadcasting deal recently guaranteed to raise the salary cap by 10+ million dollars/ team. Basically by signing him to an expensive deal now, the W's are betting that his deal winds up being a bargin because average salaries are set to rise soon. It's the same reason why Eric Bledsoe got such a long and lucrative deal.

What shooting guard not named James Harden (who I wouldn't rather have) do you think is worth 15 million over the next 5 seasons?

Klay just had a bad shooting game against Sacramento. He shot 4-14. He still put in 19 points, 6 assist and 2 rebounds. +21 per, and had a bad game. He's a legit 20 points, 6 assist guy that will get the toughest wing assignment every night.

He's going to make 3 million this year. Yeah, he's worth it.

well I mean, just because there aren't many SG's doesn't mean I'm going to say he is worth it :p But yes given the imminent salary cap raise + how important he is to the W's offense I can see why they go for this deal

Good thing Klay was able to hold Harden to 100 points in 3 games last year while Klay lit him up for 35 points..that shit don't even out..
Click to expand...

Yeah because the Warriors only play against the Rockets 82 times a year.

edit- No one said he's better than Harden. Just that Klay currently is a top 5-10 player in his position currently. He also plays way better defense than Harden.

Klay vs. Harden is sort of a meaningless comparison without any context. Klay is so much better for this current team than Harden would be because of his ability to mostly play off the ball on offense. At the end of the day this is Curry's offense (who is better than both) so what Klay does simply fits perfectly.

I don't really know if he's worth this deal, but we were in a tough spot. In the end I'm glad we signed him. We backed off of Kevin Love and decided to stick with Klay. Need to stand by that then and pay the man. Regardless of his exact value, he's certainly one of the best shooting guards in the league.

He's basically the same player as Wesley Mathews except he makes over twice as much money...

This is the first time I'm seeing the injury plagued Indiana play and I have no idea how they are leading against Memphis.

That Copeland guy is so slow and awful

So will that Lenny Kravitz song replace Kendrick's "I" tonight? I don't think I can take hearing that garbage ass song again tonight.

Dellavedova's actually not bad, but he's just not going to keep up with DRose.

Another note - San Antonio are at Phoenix later tonight... on League Pass! On national tv it's Clips at the Lakers, just who the Clips needed lmao
