Its almost like when your farm system provides you a cache of young franchise cornerstones (aka good farm system) you switch into "win a title mode". | ||

Houston can offer Calderon ~ $1M more due to cap space. All the Raptors have is a $2.3M exception. http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/18765534/los-angeles-lakers-jose-calderon-discussing-buyout-options of course, the Raptors employ the slowest MRI machines and Radiologists in all of pro sports so god knows when a diagnosis of Lowry's mystery injury will surface.. if ever. This allows them to hide their motives to other teams. Its impossible to determine how badly the Raptors need another PG as long as no one knows what's going on with Lowry.

Oh wait they had sustained success..... ya, i guess you missed that "pre-cashman" thing. for a great look at the Yankees "process" pre-cashman check out a book called "The Bronx Zoo" by Sparky Lyle and Peter Golenbock. It's pretty much how the team was run until MLB stepped in and barred Steinbrenner from being active in the baseball operations of the team. Lots of teams sacrifice long term for short term and been happening for decades including right now with 2 teams in the same division as the Raptors. I've proven my point and i'm done with this topic. | ||

NBA: *does fingerguns* That's where you're wrong. Also, remember when Chris Paul vs Deron Wiliams was a conversation? I always liked him. I hope he finds success again. | ||

D-Will v. CP3 was a conversation at some point because his size gave him certain style advantages in the "2000s Pistons" era that people hadn't adjusted thier evaluation away from (also he was good). CP3 is better suited for the new game, and hasn't fallen off as much. But if it was 2008, and Kobe and Boston were hiding the underlying trends from you, you might prefer DWill. | ||

I was, however, responding to JimmiC's suggestion that they should fight each other. | ||

Dwill is one of 5 pgs to aversge 20-10 in the past 30 years. It was a very real conversation. The Nets trade destroyed him- I'd love some kind of story about what happened. It can't have been purely injury. | ||

The Nets trade destroyed him- I'd love some kind of story about what happened. It can't have been purely injury. For sure. He was certainly a really good PG, and his size and just general style of play was really appealing both out of U of I and on the Jazz. I don't know why we have to rewrite the books around, "Lulz D-Will vs. CP3". I think its apparent that the way the NBA has gone that he would not have kept up with CP3 even without his mystery decline, but if somehow instead of the Thibs defense wasn't what was figured out to be the best style, and instead it was something that hurt small ball (and D-Will stayed at his level) we would be laughing at CP3 people. By the way, we should still laugh at CP3 lovers. On February 27 2017 08:59 Jerubaal wrote: I'm curious as to what y'all think the Lakers' gameplan should be. There seems to be a lot of finger wagging about the "4 worst seasons in Laker history" and how Magic is going to improve the organization, but if you wanted to rebuild through the draft, isn't having a couple of terrible seasons a good way to go about it? Where should they be that they aren't? (apart from the Porzingis whiff) They are irrational, they think because they are "The Lakers" they should have been able to trade Russel and their "possible 2017 first" for Boogie, then trade Ingram for Jimmy Butler, then sign Gordon Hayward in the offseason. | ||

They'll become the like the Knicks IMO: always making short sited win now moves at the expense of building a long term winner. They've already done a decent job. At least they tanked properly with Byron Scott and Kobe. The problems with the Knicks is they can't tank for long and are instead happy to sit on the edge of the playoffs with shitty teams. At least the Lakers are bottoming out for good picks and haven't mortgaged their future yet. | ||
