if AI did end up in clipperland it would be amusing to see who jacks up more shots (the other player shud be obvious).

correctamundo! altho during his last stretch of bball last season (from the games that i checked), he didn't jack up as many shots as i thought he would (only about 16 or less shots a game)

Wait, before people jump on me,

First ballot HOF: KG
Borderline HOF: Pierce, Jesus

Will Actually Never Be HOF in Reality But Goddamit Anyway: Sheed


I would personally not vote for pierce or allen. They both have had excellent careers but at no point during their careers were they even in consideration for the top of their position. I guess pierce had a really good couple year stretch where he was dominating but neither of these them "feel" like a HOF to me.

I dunno if anyone else remembers sheed during his prime with the blazers but this guy was so talented. If only he had the proper attitude and work ethic, he would be right alongside KG and Duncan as the best PF's of their generation. His post game was an absolute joy to watch. With his high release, length and height combined with his soft touch and excellent footwork, he was unstoppable when he was playing his A game.

So Odom or his agent has worked himself into a bad situation in which the dude stands to work less money or at a horrible team.

And nobody on the Jailblazers could maintain a good work ethic, with the exception of Brown.

Everything you say about Pierce and Allen is correct, but they can just point to Joe Dumars, HOF. Joe D in the HOF is such a mistake, but now it leaves the door open for lots of other borderline players.

I remember Sheed during his prime years. Absolutly HOF talent. Which is why it was so maddening to watch him in his later Detroit years.

Odom is being dumb. He wants 50mil/5 years (aka 10/year), the Lakers were initially offering about 8, and their actual offer was 27/3 years (9/year) and he doesn't want to take that... when the most he can get anywhere else is less than 6. Odom is talking about being a business man, in these times you need to maximize your money, and the Lakers are offering more than anybody else possibly can.. why is he being so stupid?

Sure it's 3 years instead of 5 years, but fuck it... take the 9 million per year and stop being a douche.

Logical follow up since Kobe didn't take less. First Ariza and now maybe Odom.

As good of a player as Odom is, to compare him to Kobe is jokes.

Kobe could of taken less, but I guess his family really needs that extra 4-5million per-year.

Would you expect Kobe to take less? Nobody would. Jordan took $33 million paychecks, lol.

He learned to do what Shaq does. Pay bitches hush money up front.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

Hahahahahaha. About Odom though, man he should just take that 3 year contract; he'll probably get an extension anyway.

LA made pretty solid offers to Odom, I am really surprised to see him decline. Its not like they offered the mid-level exception... 10m/year for 3 years PLUS the chance to win more rings is really not bad for a complementary player. In this market its hard to see too many other teams offering that kind of scratch... but who knows.

A few years ago. He's been a max contract player at every renewal. For his class, that's James, Melo, Bosh & himself.
