You're talking about a guy that averaged more rebounds than Greg Oden right? Are you telling me that the next level is going to get harder for Durant, but easier for Oden? Fact is, Durant not benching 185 lbs is only indicative of the fact that he didn't train to bench 185 lbs like the majority of guys at the combine. I would really love to know how many times Kevin Garnett's bony butt could have benched 185 lbs coming in.
Tay probably cannot bench 185. (sorry Tay, if I'm wrong). He doesn't go strong for rebounds in the NBA..........................
Ok...this is just a rumor...I mean, I'm not sure it's going to happen...or exactly what is planned, but hey, I' m sure somebody knows: Google Image Result for http://www.photofile.com/Photos/Albums/2004NBAChampionship/Images/Chauncey%20BillupsWTrophies01.jpg
The question is, how many realistic prospects out there for Joe to look at are better than Delfino? May as well take Mo Pete off the list, as it appears Grant Hill stood us up at too late of an hour for joe to ask Peterson to the dance.
If that's the case it is due to Joe's own stupidity. "Fool me once shame on you...fool me twice shame on me"
How about... 'Nocioni resigned to be playing with the Bulls and comes to terms with being a bench player.'
Blazers buy out Steve Francis The numbers I saw run in excess of $30 mil for $34 mil remaining on the contract.
Gerald Wallace, the Bobcats' top scorer from last season, is reportedly returning to join Jason Richardson in the new-look Charlotte attack. The Charlotte Observer, citing an anonymous source, is reporting that Wallace and the Bobcats have agreed to a six-year, $57 million contract. The sixth year of the deal will be Wallace's option and he can earn as much as $2 million each season in bonuses. The Bobcats had stiff competition to keep Wallace. Seven other teams contacted the free agent forward when the NBA free agency period began. Dallas, Orlando, Milwaukee, Detroit, Miami, Portland and Golden State all made inquiries link: ESPN - Report: Bobcats keep Wallace with $57M contract - NBA
Some guy named Darko Milicic signed with Memphis. ESPN - Darko days ahead: Milicic, Grizzlies agree on deal - NBA
Perfect deal for both sides. 3 years. If Darko really is a bust, Memphis is only on the hook for 3 years. If he isn't (correct me if I'm wrong Micro), but they gain his Bird rights and can match any offer, and Darko, can command a serious, perhaps max, payday on his 25th birthday.
You are 100% correct 16. A 3 year deal is guaranteed, so even if Darko gets traded, wherever he is playing when that deal ends, his team will have his Bird Rights, which gives him the opportunity for a very handsome payday.
Good deal for both sides. Not too little, not too much, not too long and not too short. Darko gets a chance to earn a big payday and Memphis is not risking as much.
Morris Peterson and the New Orleans Hornets agreed to terms on a four-year contract, a person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Friday. The person, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the contract has not been announced, said Peterson would sign the deal following a vacation. link:SI.com - NBA - Peterson, Hornets agree to four-year deal - Friday July 13, 2007 4:06PM
I thought Mo said he wanted to play for a winner? I know the Hornets are on cusp of the 7th or 8th seed, but he would have been better going to one of the easern pretenders
Must be a really sweet deal. Gotta remember Mo has never seen a real pay day in the NBA, his last deal after his rookie cintract was only for $4mill per. Gotta think that N.O. offered the full MLE.
