What is there? I heard about max contracts, but I don't know what those are.

West teams can't match up with Lakers

That's what I meant. -
You wouldn't even need an agent if you did that. You'd just decide the team for yourself.

It's also because Fisher and Artest aren't really scorers. I'd guess Kobe and Gasol probably score like 70% of the starter's points. -
But you're not even considering the impact guys like Wade and LeBron would have on their new teams. Let's say LeBron signs an eight-year deal with the Knicks. He's not gonna win a ring or go to finals each of those eight years. Now instead, let's say he goes to a team that's already a contender. He could play there a year and go to another contender or stay with that same team one more year. It's all preference. This is just what I would do if I was them. I'm pretty sure they'll all take long-term deals with max contracts though.

I could believe it. -
I'm not stirring the pot. The best team in the NBA fluctuates year to year. This year, it's the Lakers. Next year, it might be the Blazers or Nuggets. Signing one year deals would give players flexibility. They could sigh with heavy favorites each year. With long-term deals, you won't be in that position.

I couldn't disagree with you more.

Just shows the dominance LA has over other teams. So many squads have good, talented players, but they lack size. The Lakers have a two-headed monster down there with Gasol and Bynum. That frontcourt is just better than the rest. When you combine that with the veteran leadership of Fisher, the defensive tenacity of Artest, and the overall greatness of Kobe Bryant, they're gonna be the favorites. I don't see any team touching the Lakers this year unless they suffer major injuries. -

Yeah they are... on the homepage.

That's exactly what he should have done. He won't win anything in Philly, so what's the [expletive]in point?
-
I think the homepage banner needs to be changed. The Shaq and Kobe pictures from 2000 or whatever just doesn't do it for me.

Yes, that missed shot from six feet was so inspiring.
-
I hope he fails eternally.
-
This game is just unwatchable.
-
I hope AI fails. If he was a real competitor, he would have signed with a contender, swallowed his pride, and came off the bench. But nah, he's gotta go back to Philly and end his career without a ring.
-
People just assume that big free agents like Wade, Bosh, and LeBron are gonna sign like eight-year deals for the max. I mean, who really knows what they're gonna do, exactly? If any of them really cared that much about winning, they would just sign one year deals each year and jump from favorite to favorite. At least, that's what I would do if I was them. I value winning so much more than money though, so I doubt any of them would just take one-year deals.
-
why would you need to do that when 'View New Content' shows you all those new things anyway?
-
That's understandable, but I don't them making the playoffs this year would be the deciding factor in LeBron or Bosh coming to New York.
