Yeah, but Webster needs more freedom in the offense really, I mean he got his 3 point chances and occasional ISOs and alley oops, but Matthews fits in without the ball much. He's a good FT shooter, and creates contact a lot more than Martell. He's just as good a shooter, not quite as athletic, but more importantly a much better on ball defender. Webster was solid, but he gambled a little too much. The fouls he commited were stupid fouls. Similar players, but I think Wes is an improvement with more potential.

I wouldn't go as far as saying very high IQ, I see what you're saying but I mean unless you've seen more than those 2 clips, idk what to grade him on. I never paid attention in the 08 Olympics, and 18 points can come many ways. He uses picks for alley oops a lot from what I've seen, I just don't know that someone that's not very athletic can come in and do that with as much ease as he did against who, Croatia? I don't doubt he's strong, and he doesn't seem to be as bad of an athlete as Yao or somebody, but he's also much less skilled I'm assuming. That's not to say he can't become something valuable, I just have no idea what to think of him yet.

Does anyone else fear signing Euro players as much as I do?

Rather than piss off the King, I'm gonna go to a Blazers-Heat game and hold a sign saying "Sign my unit."

Then again, who knew about Josh Hamilton before last season? Or who though Magglio Ordonez was going to be exciting in the derby?

Eh I get that, but if it's something like power rankings, then I think it's based off of now.

You can't? Even if it's a cinderella story?

Chris Young's gonna win this I wanna see Hanley too.

Smart move to make it a frontloaded deal, it'll pressure Utah even more... super overpaid next year, but as he gets better, he'll get cheaper. Strange, but hey. If we get him, I'll be stoked.

1. Heat (I think they're going to get a bunch of good players with the MIN...) 2. Lakers (obvious choice at 1 or 2) 3. Thunder (I know... way too high right? I really think they can make a run) 4. Magic (I don't really know what to think, but they didn't lose anyone major) 5. Rockets (If Yao is healthy... if not, then I guess I'll go with either the Mavs, Nuggets, Bulls, or Blazers here. It'll be crowded around the 2nd and 3rd spots for each conference)

Good move, it's not like the Nats are really a threat even though they're much improved.

Not feelin the text tbh, I mean the message is cool but the font and blending aren't good on it. Nice job though, I think Hickson's gonna break out now.

Rondo wannabe. jk, I wish him the best haha. He seems pretty ready.

I'm assuming he comes off the bench as a SF and SG, because Nellie seems to love Reggie Williams. If he starts, then I agree, in that system he'll average almost 20 a game I think.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him drop somewhere in the region of 12 6 and 4 this year, with maybe 1.5 steals per game in 24-28 minutes a game. His athleticism really will fit in well with Golden State, but I wish he stayed with the dream team.

I voted for the normal one three times... didn't do the final vote. Facepalm moment.

PLEASE sign him... I didn't realize he only had a one year deal with Utah.

Haha regardless of what this thread was about I figured I'ld post about him missing Gloria. I don't have to.

http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=5368020&categoryid=2378529 Yeah, Paul the Octupus predicted it. He's never wrong. I'd tend to agree with him, although I like the Dutch. Should be a great game.

It was a little sketchy since I'm sleep deprived haha.

A lot of money for an unproven guy, but he showed a ton of improvement this year versus the rest of his career.

I think in this system Felton could be a 15 (around there, maybe less or more depending on who else NY signs) and 7 or 8 assists a game. He's had limited options in a limited offense, so I think with D'Antoni he'll have lots of options around him running the floor.

If the Warriors don't match that they're stupid IMO. That said, I hope he goes to NJ just to change things up.

LeBron's a SF, so it's a good thing he won't be a SG.

Why would LeBron sign with the Cavs for a trade? I thought he was taking less...?
