Haha loving what the Cavs kid said.

Out of curiosity, has MJ ever showed up for the lottery for either the Bobcats or Wizards? I'm guessing no given his personality.

Lottery order:

1. Cavs
2. Magic
3. Wizards
4. Bobcats
5. Suns
6. Pelicans
7. Kings (I fail)
8. Pistons
9. Timberwolves
10. Trail Blazers
11. 76ers
12. OKC (from Raptors b/c of deal)
13. Mavs
14. Jazz

Shame for the Cavs this isn't next years draft.

I just feel Wade was too athletic during those playoff runs to be considered a traditional PG. Or like I said, how many PG's can play like that for their whole career or have done so at one point? I mean with what he was able to do athletically.

I actually agree now that you explained why Parker and wade are so similar but in terms of physical ability I really have to disagree. Wade is a better physical specimen than Parker. I mean if you want to say Wade was PG, fine, but once he got into the lane during those early years, he could finish like a SG/SF or swingman. Traditional PG's can't do that because they either aren't 6'4 or don't have that crazy explosion going to the rim Wade had at the time.

Well as a quick response - traditional SGs/SFs can't finish like Wade either. He is an extreme outlier. But I get what you are saying in that Wade's "PG" ability is leveraged by his athletic ability. Is that correct?

So four quarters can't replace a dollar in the NBA?


On a per-person level, mostly no, because of salary cap. The goal is to have lots of underpaid players. For instance, the Heat have 3 enormously underpaid players in James, Wade, and Bosh. Because of the "max" salary, it is often that you can get a guy who is worth 2-3x what you are paying him. This is fairly similar to rookie contracts.

If we are talking about traits/skills the answer would be: it depends. Like, you either are good enough to dribble it up the court or not, that is an absolute skill. If a team only has 1-2 guys who can do that you can just tire them out. Other things like rebounds can be cobbled together, whereas protecting the rim and being a great playmaker are probably harder to get from 3-4 sources because those things require high levels of prowess.

Lol @ Espn questions. Asking Nerlens: "Do you think your game translates to the NBA?"

Noel could really help that team though. Weren't the best defensive team (obviously). Back court with Irving is already good.

Sorry, I was being rhetorical with that question. 4 quarters never equal a dollar in the NBA.

Well, generally speaking. I certainly think the Nugs did well giving up their "dollar" for the Knicks' "quarters". But it's very subjected on what you define as a dollar and quarters.

I need a drink. The type Karl has after being JaValed!!!

Melo is at best, 75 cents. And he's a 75cents in such a way that he can be replaced by any combination of quarters, nickels and dimes

Lebron is a dollar. But if you want to replace him you better be getting 2 silver dollars back in mint condition.

And the poor Hornets/Bobcats haven't had much luck in the last two drafts. The Davis draft will probably hurt them most but dropping for 2 to 4 in this one also kinda sucks after last year.

Davis is good. He's easily worth that #1 pick at the moment.

Van gundy. If I had to deal with Doris and her voice on a day to say basis I'd kill myself.
