Can anyone convince me that Melo making ~$26 mill for the next five years is a good thing? That's 40% of the cap gone in just Melo. Yikes. Same old Knicks. | ||

The only way melo is happening is if we do give up taj and dump salary and both melo and pau agree to a significant pay cut which is unlikely | ||

Never really got why it was considered honorable to continue to follow a team when they got rid of your favorite player but looked down upon when you follow another team because your favorite player is there now. | ||

I guess lakers are getting whatever they can. And better on the bulls in the east than with Dallas/San Antonio I guess. | ||

Yup. Feel the same way. In my opinion the players are more important than in any other sport when it comes to being a fan. For me the players dictate if I follow a team or not. | ||

Well you have to look at it from the perspective of the community. Nobody says you can't be a Lebron fan. I'm sure everyone here enjoys watching him play. But if you are one of those people that only seems to follow one player, especially the best player, it smacks a little of not actually being a basketball fan. You might have a very coarse idea of what impressive basketball looks like or, worse, you might just enjoy following the celebrity. I, for one, don't understand why you would just attach yourself to whoever is the favorite at the moment. Of course, many people start off with this preoccupation (*cough*Kobe fans) and go on to become fully functional basketball fans. | ||

There's nothing wrong with liking specific players, so long as you understand how team dynamics work too. I'm more a player follower myself (not a lebron fan if you're wondering) | ||

seems kind of bad that he ranks bottom 5 when it comes to opponent fg% when he's within 5 feet of the player. that he would often just go for the rebound isnt helping matters either. http://www.sloansportsconference.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/The Dwight Effect A New Ensemble of Interior Defense Analytics for the NBA.pdf there's also the data for this year, which is not good either. http://stats.nba.com/playerTrackingDefense.html?pageNo=1&rowsPerPage=25&filters=FGA_DEFEND_RIM*GE*6&sortField=FGP_DEFEND_RIM&sortOrder=DES&SeasonType=Regular Season the raw % doesn't have a point value but this seems like one of the most important aspects of a team's defense. also varejao is absolutely terrible by these measures. | ||
