Dwight in Dallas might have been amazing. I actually think he'd do well with a Monta-Calderon backcourt as long as Marion is around and Dirk anchors the offense. Seeing playoff James Harden you really have to wonder about his fit on another roster.

GSG.
By the way Mills is a FA at the end of the season. Everyone on Poundingtherock says San Antonio has enough cap space to sign both him and Diaw. I think Diaw won't be really hungry for money because he just wants to settle down at this point and he shows he loves and fits the system and the other players (TP and TD in particular) and he has a skillset only few teams are interested in; so I really don't see him leaving but I think someone might want to pay Patty a LOT of money and even if he has shown to be the epitome of the team oriented, bench sparkplug player, I'm afraid he's young enough to consider his options (And I wouldn't blame him that much even if I'd be terrisad).
But as I said, people more informed than me on these particular details seem to be very confident we'll be able to keep those two. Any opinion in here? I know some of you like to discuss contracts, offseason moves and dumb GMs. idk how much cap space is "enough"? I think Diaw is more important to the Spurs system so if it came between the two I'd pick him. I think Mills would be willing to take a pay cut to stay but I don't know how much the Spurs have to offer him. And again, I think he's far less valuable to other teams because imo he'd be less effective outside the Spurs system.
The only way you leave the Spurs is if they want you to leave it seems for the most part.

I really hope Patty Mills stays in SA. He's a great fit in SA, and I truly think he's the real deal. Will he become the next Parker? Probably not, but I like his hustle on the defensive half and he's shown that he's lights out from the 3PT line, has a decent drive, and is a smart passer.
Mills is 25, while Parker is 32. One has to wonder how long Parker has left in the tank, given that he's started since he was 19. Say Mills stays-- he could assume a much larger role, if not the majority of the work load at PG in just a few years.
If I were SA, I would do my best to keep Diaw and Mills. About once a game with TP in at PG, the offense stalls and TP reverts to his "dribble around the court" routine.
When Mills comes in, he provides such energy and fearlessness that TP sometimes can't bring anymore.
If I were Mills, I would seriously consider staying in SA. I think it's clear that Mills will be the #2 PG behind Parker for the next X years. Cory Joseph isn't bad either, but Mills fits the system better imo. Mills can eventually work his way up the rotation, with a very good chance at winning multiple rings in the future. Idk, I've always been a very team oriented guy, so I'm biased.

Knicks won't have cap space no matter, melo re-signing will be the difference between finishing in low lottery compared to having one of the worst rosters in NBA history. I'd much have the latter and start anew with an actual draft pick for next season.
I thought they'd traded away all their pick for the next couple of seasons? They're dead in the water till 2017ish unless they pull some big FA and miracle trades

Also Knicks with Melo is probably a low seed playoff team in the East, not a low lottery.

Knicks have the 2015 round 1 and that's it. After this year's draft and Bargnani's elbow surgery, playoffs will be unrealistic until 2019 or something.
|
Bargnani is a big reason they were so bad. The less he plays the better off they are.
|
Well if Melo leaves Bargs is starting with a reconstructed elbow.

I can't believe the Raptors got a first pick for him. Thank you Masai for making Raptors a better team.

Thank Dolan.

The last game was amazing to me, the Spurs got quality minutes and performance out of pretty much everyone on the team. Every role player, Splitter, Mills, whoever, could come in for a few minutes and get a couple of important baskets, rebounds or assists.
I watched the Spurs live last season, the first time I'd been to a live game in a long time. They were playing scrubs (New Orleans) and killed them, but I was super impressed by the ball movement and number of passes. I was also impressed that they only played Duncan for like 12 or 13 minutes but he was really dominating in that short time, he had at least a dozen points or so and got a few blocks and contributed a lot to the win. Parker didn't do too much that game, but Ginobli was the most impressive of the big 3 to see live, seeing his "drunken master" layup moves made me wonder how frustrating it must be to try and guard someone like that.

Poor Mario Chalmers. Getting all the hate.

Everyone but Lebron should get hate for their performance. And even Lebron has been lazy on defense at times.

I've got one take-it-to-the-bank prediction left in me this year: Heat will win game five.

I'd say, not if they keep defending like that. Their agressive double-team on the ball handler is just counterproductive against the Spurs passing game. And they cannot fix this by just playing "harder", it just fundamentally doesn't work against these Spurs.
Maybe they need to do something extreme like switching to full zone or something. But if they keep doing their double teaming thing on the pick-and-rolls, they are just going to get boned again imo.

Feel free to deposit this in your bank of choice, t('-'t)

I'm preparing myself for the Heat to win game 5. People are talking like this series is over but if there's one rule to the NBA it's that you can't count out Lebron. I hope the Spurs win but I can't help but feel anxious about this.

i'm a genius everyone please see that
