C'mon man, you know that's not a legitimate standard to measure how good player is going to be.

Personally, I'd rather Zeller as the roll man. I don't think Frank is going to anything more than a bench guy in the league.

I would trade 4 first rounders for Frank the Tank.

The problem is the Hornets as an organization are trying to win back the fans by being the 8th seed every year, instead of taking the loss and building long term.

My opinion is that that mindset stems from Jordan's competitive nature.

I smh at these people. As SwagCopter said, "Summer league only shows who can't play in the league, not who can."

And for RonBurgundy, I think Charlotte's move are more about making sure that when the All-Star Game comes to Charlotte, they can talk about the team's present rather than the past/future.

Also, Gerald Green on a minimum deal is freaking steal for the Heat if they are still going with the Pace-n-Space method. He had some decent chemistry with Dragic during their time in PHO. Also, the Dunk Contest dunk without shoes is still one of the most underrated dunks of all time.

Ehh you can tell rather quickly if a guy doesn't have it. He has looked way better than I expected.

The pick and pop skill he has showed off already is a thing that will get him on the floor quickly

I would have as well, but I also don't think he is going to be terrible

Teletovic to PHO for 5.5/1 Year. I'm surprised he didn't head back to Europe, but should be able to get some run after PHO and give them another good 3-Pt shooter.

Chandler with some ether:
quote:

"He wasn't ready for being a franchise player. He was scared," Parsons said. "He was scared to take the next step in his career. There was no other reason other than that he was comfortable and he has friendships there. How you make a business decision like that is beyond me. How you ignore an owner like Mark who is in your hometown just waiting for a chance to talk to you is beyond me.

..."I'll still be friends with him, but I can't get over the way that he's put our entire franchise in jeopardy. It's normal to get cold feet. It's normal to get second thoughts, but you don't back out of a commitment of this much magnitude this late in the game and just leave us high and dry."
quote:

Jordan refused to answer calls or texts all day Wednesday from Cuban, who had been promised another face-to-face meeting with the third-team All-NBA center. Jordan also didn't respond to Parsons for several hours until sending him a late-night text message informing Parsons of his final decision and saying he hoped it didn't affect their friendship.
lol. Literally a man-child.

Just popping in to say: frick You Portland.

OKC almost for sure will match, and my hope as that Kanter (who's still only 23), can at least somewhat improve on D. I mean if Harden can...

He was on the outside too.

I'm sure if it hasn't happened already, DJ's agent won't be DJ's agent much longer.

Wes took less to sign in DAL with the intention that DJ would come.

Didn't happen so he gets 4/70 instead of 4/53.

That's not crying. That's straight-up calling someone a pussy in the most diplomatic way he could.

Harden's biggest issue was a lack of effort. He doesn't have the skills to be a great defender, but he does to be at least average. Kanter tries, he just has no defensive talent.
