Kevin Durant Stephen Curry Isaiah Thomas Have to feel a little bad for the guy, would have gotten paid if his FA was 1 year earlier. At the same time I don't think he should have been paid more than he's worth, so sometimes that's just life. | ||

I DO hope he is able to turn things around though, a 5'7 guard who finds a way to be successful despite 0 defensive ability could be easy to cheer for if hos attitide improves. | ||

regarding tennis today... i really like how wimbledon doesn't allow the 5th set to finish in a 7-6 BS tiebreaker. On July 13 2018 22:57 Nemireck wrote: Yeah, me.

Maybe 10mil per year as a bench scorer, if he improves his attitude. Looks like I was off by about 8 million, I'd say I split the difference on that one since I didn't expect him to get a contract at all. Geez, that was back in February. No wonder I still had mid-level exception on my mind. I must have figured that even though I didn't expect him to get a contract, that if he did end up getting one, it would be comparable to most teams bench scorer. | ||

Any all time list will be good though | ||

4/5 is era dependant. Pre-2004 you prolly take 2 of Kareem/Shaq/Duncan. Post 2004 you take 1 + Durant. This is why making top starting 5s is a bad way to evaluate all time lists. | ||

Any all time list will be good though Hmm alot of those players were tough omissions for me but how do you add in Ray Allen or Reggie Miller at SG remember you can have 15 total players only, assuming your team plays by NBA roster size guidelines and can compete as 1 of 30 NBA teams in a hypothetical season. O-Robert and Garnett almost made my team but had to put in lebron Duncan and some other guys i like Melo more then Oscar and Duncan-Nowitzki over garnett filling out those positions for me. Could see an argument for younger Garnett over Dirk N. but i prefer dirks shooting. Player needs to have played at listed position in an NBA game/season for me to add them to that position so for LeBron i could not add him at PG since he has always played the 3/SF in the NBA. Durant could have made my team, possibly for Anthony but Anthonys size makes him a more powerful choice for Bench backup 3. Neither Anthony nor Durant can really defend or known for Defense so if you wanted a Defending specialist you could add Ron Artest or a specialist choice like him. Baron Davis is one of the most complete people at PG i've seen and i really like him here but you could argue for Steve Nash or Jason kidd too at his slot. I think he makes the team i made more electrifying and interesting.could be like a stim-pack of buckets off the bench in 6th man backup guard and if he plays bad just put in Wade in his place at 4th quarter/ imporant moments. Johnson had best Pts/Assist/fg% over 50% his entire NBA career plus nba champion so he was the best choice to me at starting point Guard. | ||

How doesn't Melo's size put him over Durant (ignoring how you seem to have missed the last 3 seasons of increasingly excellent defense from Durant)? Why not Karl Malone then? And now, writing all this I realize I am responding to a person who has never watched basketball. | ||
