High5 Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 3 minutes ago, KB21 said: So, one out of 8 super hyped players actually became a quality player in the NBA. Wow! Great odds. Definitely worth ruining a winning culture to have those odds. I like how you turned 7 into 8 and 3 of those players haven't even played a NBA game yet. One just graduated from high school. And you wonder why people don't take you seriously. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLien_ Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 1 hour ago, KB21 said: Parker never had elite scorer upside to begin with. He's just another overhyped prospect who never lived up to that hype. He has neither the athleticism nor the skill level to be an elite scorer. It amazes me how you guys want to close the book on guys in their early 20s. If you can't see the potential Parker has that's a you problem. His defense is not good, but it's silly to argue with you about rather he can score or not. He averaged 20 points a game in 2016/2017 shooting 49% from the field and 36.5% from 3. Not inefficient chucking. Now if you want to talk about D you have an argument, but I never mentioned his D. Plenty of room on a team for an offensive only star, the league is littered with them. The good teams know how to hide them, and get more out of them defensively. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so long as Love is playing they will try to win and not embarrass themselves. Next season they have a lot of salary/players that could come off the books. Hill ( 19 M ), Smith ( 14 M ), and Korver ( 7.5 M ). Right now they are 9.9 M over the cap. They are not close to the bad position long term cap wise as the 1st time Bron left.

Thomas Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Not willing to pay someone 20 million per does not mean they have totally given up on someone. In four years he has played around thirty games more than he has been on the sidelines. This was a risk-reward decision for the Bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member JayBirdHawk Posted July 16, 2018 Author Premium Member Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Anadolu Efes is going all in for a big move for next season and has offered a $2.2M, one-year deal to Malcolm Delaney,according to Eurohoops sources. Delaney, 29, who spent the previous two seasons with the Atlanta Hawks, also expects a big offer from China while he is still exploring his NBA options.

I guess no, but why does Frye go to the Cavs unless no one else offered? Seems like a candidate for spurs, sixers, or at least the nuggets or wolves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
