I'm always up for more talent if it comes at a fair price. If that's the case, bring him on board....

We could've had DeAndre Hopkins in 2013. He's been dynamite playing with those dud QBs in Houston. He'd be unstoppable playing with Brees....

OKC and Brooklyn make sense since neither city has hosted their team for all that long. Orlando . . . no idea. Maybe they lived up to their name and pulled a disappearing act....

Posted by EarthquakeTenta on 6/1/17 at 2:12 am

Well, he's 34, which is pretty old by NBA standards. On the plus side, he's only played in 596 NBA games, including playoffs, which isn't all that much. For comparison's sake, David West had played in 554 games (including playoffs) when he left New Orleans 5.5 years ago, and had plenty left in th...

Looks like he might be available this offseason. Any way we could land him without giving up Davis or Cousins? Would he be a better fit next to Davis than Cousins? More of an inside-outside thing?...

re: Adrian Peterson at age 32 vs the top 15 rushers of all time

Posted by EarthquakeTenta on 5/30/17 at 3:26 pm

Number of carries is definitely the best counterargument to this. Peterson hasn't been ran into the ground the way these other backs had been. He should have more gas left in the tanks. I think we get at least one great (1,200+) season out of him....

re: Hypothetical trade of Davis to the Celtics

Posted by EarthquakeTenta on 5/30/17 at 2:44 am

An easy no from me. Barring injuries, Davis is a generational talent. No one in either this year's draft class nor next year's has that level of potential. IT's a nice feel good story, but he's not taking a team anywhere in the West accept maybe to the middle of the lottery....

re: How much is Will Barton going to command?

Posted by EarthquakeTenta on 5/30/17 at 2:39 am

His shooting has dramatically improved in the past few years to the point he can probably become a good starter. Knowing that, I'd say he's in the mid-to-high teens millions annually. My guess is, he gets 5 years/$80-85 million. Is he worth it? He's only 26. He can be a core building block ove...
