I don't care about individual awards this is a team game where titles mean everything. If not why would West give up 11 million to play with the Spurs.

So Charles Barkley and countless HOF players suck because they didn't win a ring...if a ring is the only thing that makes you have a great career, we wouldn't enjoy Blazer basketball in the modern era...I plan to enjoy Blazer basketball...I'm 61 and was 23 when we won a ring...I'm still not bitter about it

I like the hardworking team oriented Z-Bo in Memphis not the cocky selfish player who was averaging 23 and 11 and tearing up the league.

Okay sweet, so you understand players change in the right atmosphere. Glad we agree because Kanter at 22 was better than Statbo offensively and defensively. So since you acknowledge that your boy Zach can be "team oriented" and "hard working", we can be assured Kanter can

Yeah it's for the best. Lots of "realists" telling us optimists how to feel this week.

I'm typically optimist. But I admit I'll rain on the parade some are throwing for Kanter. It's like The Hibbert sitch. It ain't happening.

I'm fine with that. We poisoned his contract as much as we were able to, and we'll make OKC go into the luxury tax realm or dump salaries to us for the privilege of signing Kanter.
 
Stockton, Malone mutumbo, majerle, Baylor, mullins , lanier, maravich, webber, mcgrady, niqe wilkins ,lenny wilkens, Thurmond, Gilmore miller barkley sloan ewing chris paul, all of these players are obviously tarnished because their teams never brought home the Naismith award?
 
After watching Mitch McGary tonight, and knowing they also have Adams, (and Ibaka and Collison) if I am OKC I might pause at matching our offer. Mitch looks pretty good.

Malone is tarnished for playing for the Lakers.

That's okay. Both players aren't worth a mustard far much less 40 mill.

That's great. But isn't the championship trophy called the Larry O'Brien NBA Championship Trophy? Before, it was named after Walter Brown?

Naismith is for College Player of the Year, right?

By that logic, any time we sign a free agent, other teams who didn't offer him what we did obviously didn't think he was worth it. Clearly Aminu and Davis were bad signings because Dallas and LA didn't think they were worth it.

Obviously not. Or else they would've offered the same amount. Btw we don't know what was or wasn't offered by other teams. For all we know aminu might've taken less to come here. But in kanters situation we will know.
 
Am I wrong or is Ibaka's contract also up next season? If so, that makes it less likely they match.
 
That's still a lot of contracts Bennett is going to have to deal with coming up, is his fourth or fifth best player really what he wants to spend a chunk of the cap on?

Then that makes it a worthless throwaway statement that applies to nearly all free agents.
 
Yeah, just confirmed it. He has 2 more seasons. I guess that could play a role as well. They have all those players to re-sign and it's going to be difficult to trade him. I'm starting to lean towards them not doing it.

I was replying to a comment that implied kanter wouldn't have any motivation to work on his defense because of what he's getting paid. I'm just countering that having your ex team deem you not worthy might give him that motivation

Ah, I see. Missed that. My apologies.
 
Kanter may not play great D but he does shoot well from the line. Seems our bigs would compliment each other well. Leonard and he good at O and shooting from the line. Davis and Plumlee good at D including blocks and then dunks.
 
A kanter/davis pairing just might work. Same with plumlee/legend with the second unit.
 
Omg imagine plums and legend on the floor together can this upcoming season get any better I think not
