Check my Stats

Yo hook up a link for that.

How much cap do the Flyers have? They have to get that kid Giroux inked to an extension ASAP.

Nate is a stud.

He would be idiotic to do this since that amount is the same as what he will probably get offered for a 3 year deal in FA.

Meh he isn't going to be as valued as he should be in the open market, in my opinion, mainly due to his consistently declining stats. I definitely think Allen can be a 20 point scorer on solid percentages on a team that wants him to be. He should sign wherever LeBron does, perfect SG next to him.

Only 6 pages? C'mon OTR step your game up I was expecting this thread to be double plat. Missed most the game but Nate is a stud, get this kid 30 minutes a night when he at home, he was roasting while he was out there, and he loves putting on a show for the crowd.

[expletive] this is a long [expletive]-post -_- Frankly after the way Hedo has behaved all year, coming into camp shape, terrible body language all year, laughing with opponents after losses, his word doesn't hold much worth with me. And yes there is something wrong with the interview, as a pro he has the responsibility to answer the question, not only the initial question but the follow up question. 'I have nothing more to say'? Really Hedo? In the midst of his worst year compared to his rookie year, that is all he had to say? It is one thing if someone is saying it as a joke, but Hedo was just being a jerk. I didn't expect Hedo to be jumping into the crowd to save loose balls, but at the same time I expected him to come into the season in shape and prepared to make us a better basketball team, which he did not. The only thing about Hedo that changed is the fact he didn't give a [expletive]. This is all stuff I know, I don't recall ever saying he was misused, it is pretty obvious he was. But if you are being misused as a player why don't you talk to the coach to adjust the game plan? He just stood and wandered when he didn't have the ball, and when he did have the ball, half the time he did something dumb with it. I expect him to at least attempt to adapt into the role the coach assigned to him. Ok..... Actually Sonny is one of the few players on our team that thrived in the open court, not to mention he was more creative with the ball at times than Hedo even was. The difference between the two was Sonny is a 23 year old actually trying and Hedo was a 30 year old who didn't give a [expletive]. Hedo is a superior player but Sonny Weems outplayed him last year because Hedo just didn't try. Again, ok...... We didn't need him, but theoretically speaking, shouldn't Hedo make a team better? He didn't make us better, we are winning 40 games with or without him last year. I agree with most of your post, I just don't understand where it is coming from, your entire post seems dedicated to the fact of WHY Hedo is a bad fit, and we all know he is a bad fit, but him being a bad fit is not an excuse for his poor off and on court behaviour. I don't mind a guy having a bad year, but not when it is because he doesn't give a [expletive] or isn't trying. If you are trying to say that just because you don't 'fit' in a team's system is an excuse to not give hardly any effort, then I won't bother responding to anymore of your posts.

Pretty sure the Suns and Amare have been 'negotiating' all this time, aka them not wanting to give him the max, it isn't much of a negotiation if they offer him the max lol... that is all this comes down to, they offer the max, he stays, they don't, he leaves.... he can get a max in Miami or New York, no doubt about it.

Same. If Bosh ever got the chance to play on a championship squad where defense is actually a practiced concept, he would look much better defensively. He is no KG but he definitely would be a better defensive big man with more focus on that end of the floor from not only his coach but also the offensive load being taken off, he is definitely not a liability on most nights defensively, and while he is no anchor, neither is Pau Gasol. I think Bosh would flourish with an opportunity to play off others for once, rather than being force fed the ball on the right block 75% of the time. Both of these players are best suited in complimentary roles, while Dwight Howard is a franchise player on a team winning 60 games year in year out, so I don't see what the argument is, Dwight is obviously the best big man in the NBA. Outside of his nifty passing, I really don't see what Pau does much better than Bosh, call me blind or biased, I just don't.

If they use all their cap space through signings they will lose him regardless of whether they want to keep him or not, unless he wants a minimum contract.

Damn healed in 6-8 weeks? My brother broke his and it wasn't fully healed for almost an entire year. Sucks to hear man, get well soon.

Refs should just let them play, it sucks that each team's top players keep getting into foul trouble. Let them go at it when they are battling for position.

JR Smith? Lol cmon son. If Gordon is on the bench then he is right there, but I think Nate is the most explosive bench player in the entire NBA.

Knicks keep getting a lot of bad press lol, even the other day Pierce was [expletive]ting on the Knicks organization as a whole.

Celtics are sticking around thanks to Kobe.

These refs have been a joke all game long.

20 points on 20 shots, goat.

Garnett is molesting Pau at will tonight.

Sick deal for both teams involved, Nets get a superstar they would have used their cap on, CP3 now definitely helps bring in a 2nd star in FA like LBJ or Bosh. Hornets are always looking to clear cap, and this helps them restart over again with rebuilding, I think CP3 will be in a different uniform in the 2011 season.

Well did you see his immature 'ball' post-game interview? Sure, as funny as it was, it was also immature and he should have just answered the question. He went out partying after missing a game as well, or something like that? His body language has been horrible all year, and it was obvious he didn't give his full effort most of the time. I see your statistics, and I have actually used them before to show that statistically Hedo didn't do much worse than normal, but it was clear he wasn't playing as hard as possible, not to mention he was never in shape all year, not even at the end of the year. The stats you are showing is what is so frustrating, he did all of what he normally did without trying, we KNOW he can be a better player, we saw it in the games where he actually played his tail off.... there were only a few times, but when he did he was a really good player for us. The fact of the matter is, rather than adjusting his own game to the role the coach wanted him to have, he just sulked and did nothing when the ball wasn't in his hands. Another reason this is so frustrating is that this isn't the first time a player played like [expletive] for us then requested a trade, and diminished his value so all we could get was a bag of basketballs and Joey Graham. In the end, I have no problem if you want out of an organization, but you do it professionally. You give 100% your time there, and you ask out quietly so the team can still get value for you. This season, Sonny Weems>Hedo Turkoglu, I don't care what Hedo has DONE, what he DID was nothing better than Sonny did for us when he played, and frankly that is just unacceptable no matter how unhappy you are.

Weather.

Yes, he doesn't get to demand a trade and then give our GM preferences on where he wants to play. Lol.... there is nothing wrong with expressing your opinion privately to your ORGANIZATION, has Hedo done that? No, he ran to the Turkish media and says he wants out. It isn't better to complain publically because now we will struggle to get any sort of value for him, we have literally 0 leverage in a Hedo trade now. After watching Wade for 7 years I figure you would know how a professional athlete should carry himself, I guess not, seeing the way you defend Hedo is insane. So it is our fault that he didn't enjoy his time here and played with no heart or effort? He hardly even made an effort to be effective this year, he was unable or unwilling to alter his game for the benefit of the team. Best option is a trade, but Hedo's behaviour now prevents us from getting any sort of possible value than we will now get. Lol. So when Pikachu faced off against Onyx he was supposed to give up and not try? Because that is exactly what he did, and now he is telling everyone he wants away from Ash, but what trainer is going to give Ash anything for him now that they know he wants out and has a bad attitude?

16 or 17 PPG next year if Bosh is gone.
